What is Grain Spawn?

Posted on July 28, 2022April 22, 2023
 

Hey there! Let’s talk about grain spawn.

So, grain spawn is a fancy term for sterilized grains that are infused with spores or a sterilized mycelium solution. It’s a popular method for growing mycelium and mushrooms.

When it comes to choosing the right type of grain for your spawn, there are plenty of options out there. Millet and rye are some of the most common choices, but you can also use wheat, corn, rice, oats, and even bird seed!

So, what are you waiting for? Experiment with different types of grain and see what works best for you in your mycelium cultivation adventures. Happy growing!

  1. Steps to make grain spawn

    Step 1: Rinse and clean the grains, soak in water for 12-24 hours.

    Step 2: Alternatively to step 1, Cook the grains for 15-20 minutes so that they absorb water.

    Step 3: Drain and dry excess moisture from the outside of the grains.

    Step 4: Load grain into mason jars and sterilize for 90 minutes at 15 PSI.

    • Grain of choice
