Questions
Grain spawn is grain already colonised by mycelium, ready to go into your substrate. Sterile grain is uninoculated, autoclaved grain for expanding a spawn bag of your own, grain to grain. Liquid culture, agar plates, slants and master cultures are the live genetics upstream of spawn, for growers running their own lab.
Grain spawn: Lion's Mane, Pink Oyster, Phoenix Oyster, Florida Oyster or Blue Oyster. Cultures: Shiitake 3790, Shiitake LE-K1, Maitake 9827, King Trumpet PE3, Turkey Tail TV1, Blue Oyster PO5 or Lion's Mane HE4. You pick at checkout.
Spawn and sterile grain are three bags minimum. At ten bags or more the price drops to $35 a bag for spawn and $22 a bag for sterile grain. Cultures have no minimum.
Everything is made after payment. Spawn ships 14 to 21 days after payment, sterile grain within 9 days, liquid culture, plates, slants and master cultures in about four weeks.
