Rye
Rye Grain is one of the most popular materials for growing mycelium before inoculation to bulk substrate. Most commonly used for making grain spawn.
Popcorn
Popcorn is used for grain spawn, easy to prepare and good grain to begin with.
Basalt Rock Dust
Basalt Rock Dust is made of the volcanic rock called basalt and is specifically used in the cultivation process of the Medicinal Mushroom – Cordyceps Militaris.
Basalt Rock is an excellent source for calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, silicon, cobalt, zinc, boron, and Aluminium.

Hardwood Sawdust
Hardwood sawdust is used to grow wood loving mushrooms such as Shitake, King Oyster, Wine Cap, Chicken of the woods, Turkey Tail, Lions Mane, Maitake and Reishi mushrooms.
Our hardwood sawdust is from meranti.
Paul Stamets Sawdust Recipe:
73 % Hardwood Sawdust
24.6 % Bran
2.4 % Gypsum
65% water added to the above mix.This mixture is added to a mushroom grow bag and steralized at 15psi for at least 2 hours ( depending on the size and amount of bags being steralized.Once cooled grain spawn is added, the bag is sealed for sterile colonization.

Cow Manure
Cow manure is an excellent substrate that can be used simply as an added nutrient to straw, grain and other substrate mixtures. Dried and crumbled for your convenience.
Soy Hulls
Soy Hull are a key ingredient in the masters mix substrate pioneered by TR Davis of Earth Angel Mushrooms. Masters mix substrate colonises fast and has high yields, it encourages a larger than average first flush allowing for quick turnover. Masters mix is heavily supplemented and will require sterilisation.
To make masters’ mix you will need an equal weight of soy hulls and hardwood sawdust. This is to be hydrated to 60%. Use the following recipe to produce 2.3 kg of substrate which is inoculated with 200 grams of grain spawn.
- 450 grams soy hulls
- 450 hardwood sawdust
- 1.4 litres water
- Mix together and sterilize for 2h30.
Bran Flour
Wheat bran flour is commonly used as an ingredient in substrates of wood-loving mushroom species. It is very nutritious and needs to be sterilised when added to fruiting blocks.
Generally bran is added as 30% of the total fruiting block.
Gypsum
Powdered gypsum is used to increase the pH in mushroom growing substrates such as coco choir, sawdust, coffee grounds and straw. It is a yield enhancer as it supplies minerals and trace elements to the mycelium.
It is also used when preparing grain spawn to stop the grain from clumping together.
Gypsum should be mixed at a rate of 2.5% of the dry weight of the bulk substrate and 1 tablespoon per litre of grain spawn.
