Your picked strain will grow on sterilised organic wheat grain berries in sealed mushroom bag for 2-3 weeks and then we will send it to you. If you'd like, we can inoculate grain spawn and send it to you right away without waiting time, please let us know.

The product should be used immediately after delivery, but if stored in the fridge at 4°-6° Celsius for a maximum of one month, it will be still viable.

Grain spawn mycelium inoculation is a fastest method to grow mushrooms and keep contamination risk low.

Grain spawn is a crucial step in mushroom cultivation for several reasons:

1. **Nutrient-Rich Substrate**: Grain spawn provides a nutrient-dense medium for mushroom mycelium (the vegetative part of the fungus) to colonize. Grains such as rye, wheat, and millet contain carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients that support vigorous mycelial growth.

2. **Uniform Colonization**: Grain spawn allows for even distribution of mycelium when mixed with the final bulk substrate (such as straw, sawdust, or compost). This ensures a more uniform and faster colonization of the substrate, leading to more consistent and productive mushroom yields.

3. **Reduced Contamination Risk**: Using grain spawn helps reduce the risk of contamination. The grain spawn is usually prepared in sterile conditions, which minimizes the presence of competing molds and bacteria. This gives the mushroom mycelium a competitive edge to colonize the substrate quickly.

4. **Scalability**: Grain spawn can be produced in large quantities and stored for future use, making it a scalable solution for both small-scale and commercial mushroom growers. It serves as an intermediary step that can be expanded to inoculate larger volumes of substrate.

5. **Faster Growth**: Because the mycelium has already colonized the grain, it can quickly take hold of the bulk substrate. This accelerates the overall mushroom cultivation process, allowing for quicker harvests.

6. **Versatility**: Grain spawn can be used to inoculate a variety of substrates suitable for different types of mushrooms. This makes it a versatile tool for cultivating a wide range of mushroom species.

7. **Improved Yield**: By ensuring a strong and healthy initial colonization with grain spawn, growers can often achieve higher yields of mushrooms compared to other methods.

In summary, grain spawn is important in mushroom cultivation because it provides a nutrient-rich, uniform, and scalable means of promoting vigorous mycelial growth, reducing contamination risks, and ultimately leading to faster and more productive mushroom harvests.
