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.

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.

Popcorn
Popcorn is used for grain spawn, easy to prepare and good grain to begin with.
Hydrated Lime
Cold Water Lime Pasteurization, is a cheap and effective low-tech way to prepare substrates for growing mushrooms.
This type of substrate treatment is easy for most people to do at home.
It’s even used by some small-scale commercial mushroom growing operations that want a low-tech, cheap and effective way to pasteurize straw.
The overall process is very similar to growing mushrooms on straw with heat pasteurization, the only difference is to replace heat with lime.
This process is mainly used to treat straw for growing Oyster mushrooms.
Use 20 grams of hydrated lime per 10 liter s of water.
Simply add the appropriate amount of lime to cold water, mix and add your straw. Leave the straw to soak for 24 hours and it is ready to be drained and inoculated.

Horse Manure
Horse 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.
Coco Coir
Coir is a commercially available mix of ground up coconut husk and shells. Coir is one of the best bulk mediums to grow mushrooms in. It’s naturally resistant to mold and bacteria and mushrooms absolutely love it. When wet it expands to over 2.5 cubic feet.
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.
