- Ease of Inoculation : Usable with our myceliums on grain spawn.
Produce your wood-growing mushrooms with our sterilized substrate bags, whenever you want.
Usable in Organic Farming. Our "Optimal" substrate is made of wood shavings (without glues or treatments) and cereal residues of organic origin. We are inspected and certified by Certisys (BE-BIO-01).
Productivity. We studied the composition of the different ingredients to provide the mycelium with an optimal substrate in terms of the carbon/nitrogen ratio, sugars, and minerals. Composed of a beech sawdust base, this substrate is suitable for lignicolous-type mushrooms, which decompose wood: oyster mushrooms, eryngis, namekos, lion's manes, reishi, as well as shiitakes, which are generally more demanding in terms of substrate.
Storage: The bags can be stored for 3 to 4 weeks in a cool and clean room. However, for best results, we recommend using them quickly after receipt.
Content: approx. 5.2 kg of substrate included in a micro filter bag (Unicorn XLS-A)
To inoculate them, we recommend using our myceliums on grain spawn.
They are sterilized and then sealed in the laboratory to ensure sterility during transport. They can be stored for several weeks before use; however, for safety reasons, we recommend using them sooner.
Use
- Clean the outside of the bag, especially where you will open it at the top, with 70% alcohol or 10% bleach.
- Clean a sharp blade, and if possible, heat it with a flame first. With it, open the bag just below the seal.
- Inoculate (seed) with 5 to 10% of mycelium on grain spawn. That is 250 to 500 gr of mycelium on grain spawn per bag. If your sterility conditions are good, you can try to reduce the percentage of mycelium.
- Close the bag using a sealer, clamps, or adhesive tape. Leave as much air as possible inside the bag and ensure that the filter remains clear.
- Mix the substrate to distribute the grain spawn throughout the substrate.
- Place the bag in incubation at a temperature of 20-24°C.
Transport
Given the volume and weight of the substrates, we can only put 4 bales per package: it is therefore preferable to choose a multiple of 4. It may happen that our site does not correctly calculate the appropriate number of packages if you order a large number of bags, or several products at the same time. In this case, we reserve the right to reduce the quantities of products or to increase the necessary shipping costs.
We can also ship up to 80 bales per pallet. Shipping costs vary depending on the destinations. Transportation can be handled by you or by us.
Note:
- During transport, condensation may appear on the plastics, which is related to temperature variations. This is not problematic in itself.
- All warranty claims must be submitted with the bags still sealed within 10 days of receipt. Claims are made by email with detailed photos of the problem.
Organic Certification
All our products are guaranteed BE-BIO-01 by Certisys Belgium.
