How to use our products, Our compost works best when inoculated with colonized grain spawn, not a spore / liquid culture solution. If you inject spores right into this bag there is little change it will colonize. Spores need some kind of food of nutritive substance to take hold of in order to establish a mycelium network. Mycelium feeds off decaying mater and compost is already broken down. It is best to start with grain spawn like rye berries or rice flour. The best method is to inoculate a bag of sterilized grain or brown rice flour jars with your syringe. Once the substrate is fully colonized then break it up and pour it into the bag of compost. One pound of colonized grain spawn will easily colonize a ten pound bag of compost. Once the compost is fully colonized you can fruit it in the bag or transfer it to some kind of fruiting chamber, terrarium or mono tub. A casing layer may be necessary depending on the species. Further instructions can be found out our website. Review: Great, affordable substrate - This was a great item that filled my 48-quart monotube perfectly. In just a few days, I could see mycelium spreading. The substrate had just the right amount of moisture, and judging from the spread of the mycelium, it was free from contamination and had the proper nutrients to make my mushrooms grow. I'm looking forward to harvesting my mushrooms in the coming weeks. Review: High quality substrate - Substrate came packaged very securely. It is moist not dry and is very high quality. The substrate is sealed and packaged in a protective layer. I like the extra measures taken to prevent contamination. ## Features - Ten pounds sterilized compost - Used as a mushroom growing substate - Able to produce pounds of fresh mushrooms ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B016IENOLI | | Best Sellers Rank | #176,967 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,109 in Garden Soil | | Brand | MycoHaus | | Date First Available | October 12, 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Weight | 9.98 pounds | | Item model number | Compost | | Manufacturer | MycoHaus | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 11 x 5 x 8 inches | | Unit Count | 160.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MycoHaus - **Item Form:** Granules - **Item Weight:** 4.54 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** MycoHaus - **Number of Items:** 1 ## Images ![MycoHaus Compost for Mushroom Growing | Sterilized Substrate for Mushrooms | Mushroom Soil Organic | Home Cultivation Supplies | 10 Pound (1 Pack) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zU7eg70VL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this compost grow cubensis** A: Yes it can it worked for me but this is not what you inoculate I inoculated BRF cakes and waited till they were fully colonized then grinded them up with the cheese grater and layer it like a lasagna in a 3 in deep container with this compost then cover it with a piece of aluminum foil polk a couple holes for air and let it sit another week maybe a little more until it's fully colonized again and then open it up and start your flowering **Q: Why do I have to pay double shipping for 2 bags?** A: Because theres two **Q: Would I just inject spores directly into this and wait for mushrooms to spawn?** A: Our compost works best when inoculated with colonized grain spawn, not a spore / liquid culture solution.

From the moment I opened the bag, I could tell it was perfectly hydrated and expertly prepared.
