Sterilised Organic Rye Grain

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.

How long does Sterilised Organic Rye Grain last?

Sterilised Organic Rye Grain will last approximately 3 months in a cool environment. We recommended to store it in the freezer and take it out a day before use.

How do I use this Rye Grain?

Inject your mushroom spore syringe into the Rye Grain via your self-healing port and let the mycelium do its thing. Once the magical mycelium has colonised the Rye Grain and it is all white, then you can mix it in with your substrate.

Of course this is all assuming that you want to grow mushrooms but you could also… fill a balloon with your Rye Grain and use it as an eco-friendly stress ball. Half-fill a container with your Rye grain and use it as some homemade maracas. Hell you could even feed your Rye Grain to the birds. But whatever you do, for the love of God - do not use your Rye Grain to be growing magic mushrooms !!
