Sterilised Organic Rye Grain

Product Description

Our locally sourced organic Rye Grain has been hand selected. Prior to sterilisation our grain is carefully rinsed and soaked. We add a percentage of calcium sulphate to help balance the PH plus it plays a role in cell wall formation and mycelium development which contribute to healthy mycelial growth, strong fruiting bodies, and overall higher yields.

Mushrooms prefer a slightly acidic to neutral PH range so it also helps absorb and retain moisture by absorbing excess water and releasing it slowly as when needed. Complete with self-healing injection port and a filter to help with gas exchange, minimise contaminants and maintain moisture control.

* All of our substrate is sterilised at 15 PSI for 3 hours.

Our Expert's Opinion NEW

Tony, our resident mycologist, has this to say.

Pros
  • Reliability - High nutrient content provides a more stable base especially when using substrates with a low nutrient content.
  • Versatility - Due to a balanced nutrient composition, supports wide range of mushroom species.
Cons
  • Slower Colonisation - A lower surface area to volume ratio means that some other grains colonise quicker.
Tips
  • Reduce Contamination Risks - Let the bag fully colonise before handling and only open it in a sterile environment, like a still air box or in front of a laminar flow hood.
  • Kickstart Colonisation - If your bag stops colonising and stalls, it’s usually because of the positive pressure on the mycelium. Turn the bag on it’s side and this will change the pressure point and allow the mycelium a route to grow.
