Not sure how much spawn you need? Use our spawn ratio guide to calculate the right amount for your substrate volume, or check our substrate guide to learn which substrates work best for each species.
Grain spawn is sterilized grain (we use certified organic millet) that has been inoculated with mushroom mycelium. It serves as the seed material you mix into bulk substrate to grow mushrooms at scale.
A standard spawn-to-substrate ratio is 10-20% by weight. One 5 lb bag of grain spawn is enough to inoculate 25-50 lbs of bulk substrate, depending on the species and your preferred colonization speed.
Grain spawn is best used within 2-4 weeks of receiving it. Store it in a cool, dark place (around 4°C / fridge temperature) if you need to delay use. Do not freeze grain spawn.
