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.

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.
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.

Sphagnum Peat Moss
Uncover the secrets of sphagnum peat moss and its role in cultivating bountiful mushrooms. Sphagnum peat moss is a fantastic addition to your grow, providing excellent moisture retention and nutrient absorption.
Our special peat moss mix consists of a mix of responsibly sourced, screened European Blond Sphagnum Peat (0-6mm, 80%), Perlite (1-3mm, 20%), N-P-K + Trace Element Primer (550g/m³, E.C. 1.o – 2.5), Calcitic and Dolomitic Lime and a Wetting Agent.
The pH level of the substrate has been adjusted to between 5.1 and 6.0.
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.
