What is the best grain for mushroom spawn?
Like fruit or veg, mushrooms have slightly different preferences according to their type so there is firstly this to consider. Secondly, your objective as an enthusiastic cultivator may be to grow as healthy and abundant yield in as little time as possible, but these can sometimes be in conflict with each other. For example, mycelium fruits in the right environment, which (amongst other things) depends on the nutrients, temperature and moisture available. If you wanted a quick harvest you may increase the temperature and/or moisture but this would also increase the risk of contamination, jeopardising the 'healthy' grow. So this should be coordinated with your current experience/skill level/knowledge to balance these factors suitably. They can be thought of broadly as contamination risk, colonisation speed, ease of preparation, and nutrient effectiveness. Learn more about which is the best grain spawn for growing mushrooms.
How long does mushroom grain spawn last?
Mushroom grain spawn will typically last approximately 6-12 months in a cool, dark environment. We recommended to store it in a sealed container ensuring that it is suitably protected from pests.
