Gourmet Mushroom Spawn for Sale — Sawdust Spawn
Have you ever grown your own mushrooms from sawdust spawn? If so, you probably already knowthat sawdust is a great substrate for growing mushrooms because the hardwood particles are incredibly small, allowing for many inoculation points. In turn, this allows the mushroom mycelium to grow easily into the substrate. More inoculation points for mycelium to grow leads to quicker mycelium colonization. The quicker mycelium can colonize a substrate, the greater chance of producing contaminant-free mycelium. The longer it takes for mycelium to colonize, the more likely it is that contamination will take place.
Please note that all of our spawn is grown in a sterile lab and produced consistently throughout the year, so you’re guaranteed the freshest, cleanest spawn available. If you want to lessen the chance of contamination while growing on logs, totems, or woodchips, then sawdust spawn is for you. We currently have sawdust spawn on sale, in 5 1/2 pound bags, for all of the following:
- Shiitake spawn
- Blue oyster mushroom spawn
- Yellow oyster mushroom spawn
- Pink oyster mushroom spawn
- Wine cap spawn
- Lion’s mane spawn

Gourmet Mushroom Spawn for Sale — Grain spawn
Our grain spawn is similar to the sawdust spawn with a few caveats. The grain spawn we provide is a perfect option for indoor mushroom cultivation. This is the case because the small particle size of the millet we use allows the mushroom mycelium to grow quickly, leading to well-colonized substrate. Our grain spawn is second generation which means it is capable of being expand further, so you can develop even more grain spawn from these five-and-a-half pound bags. Are you interested in using grain spawn but are not fully sure as to the best methods for growing mushrooms with it? We recommend using grain spawn if you are growing mushrooms indoors on straw, coffee grounds, or supplemented sawdust. You can even use grain spawn to inoculate hardwood logs. As with all of our other types of spawn, our grain spawn is produced in a sterile lab all year long so you are guaranteed fresh, pure spawn free of contaminants. Interested in mushroom spawn for sale? The types of mushroom grain spawn we currently have available include:
- Shiitake mushroom
- Blue oyster mushroom spawn
- Yellow oyster mushroom spawn
- Pink oyster mushroom spawn
- Lion’s mane mushroom
- Maitake mushroom
- Reishi mushroom
- Chestnut mushroom
If you are new to using grain spawn, try starting with either the shiitake or the blue oyster. Blue oyster mushroom spawn is a great option for beginners because they are fairly easy to grow and can be abundant. They are also beautiful mushrooms to look at. Shiitake is known for fast colonization of the mycelium onto the substrate and this strain is recognized for producing impressive yields. Shiitake is the workhorse for many commercial mushroom farmers, so definitely give it a shot, even if you are growing mushrooms as a hobby.

Gourmet Mushroom Spawn for Sale — Plug Spawn
If cultivating mushrooms with sawdust spawn doesn’t sound appealing to you, we have another option — mushroom plug spawn. Mushroom plug spawn works the best for inoculating wood logs or stumps. Our plug spawn is comprised of 1” pieces of birch dowels covered with our fresh, sterile mycelium. If you want the easiest method for growing mushrooms on hardwood logs, then plug spawn is right for you. There are no additional tools needed and no deep knowledge of the inoculation process. All you need to do is drill holes into your logs or stumps, insert the dowels, and cover the holes with wax once the dowels are inserted. Please note that the spawn run associated with plug spawn takes longer than sawdust spawn, but you can grow your mushrooms with more ease this way. If you plan on inoculating 40 logs or less, then plug spawn will be your best bet. We currently have plug spawn on sale in 100, 500, and 1000 dowel quantities for the following:
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Blue oyster mushroom spawn
- Yellow oyster mushroom spawn
- Maitake mushrooms
- Lion’s mane mushrooms

FAQs
The simplest way for beginners to start growing their own mushroom spawn is using the stem butt method. You can take the stems of oyster mushrooms and put them in a container with some damp cardboard. In a couple of weeks you'll have your own spawn.
How long can you store mushroom spawn? ›
Even in your fridge's ideal conditions, mushroom spawn won't last forever. Spawn usually live for 2-4 months in cold storage. Be sure to use the spawn within that time so your mushrooms grow properly. The sooner you use the spawn, the more likely it is to grow mushrooms successfully.
What is the difference between mushroom spawn and mushroom spores? ›
Mushrooms are fungi that originate from tiny spores. In the wild, mushrooms release their own spores which fall to the ground or are carried on the wind. In commercial farming, spores are collected and the resulting mycelium is propagated on sterile cereal grain to produce a product called 'spawn'.
What to do with leftover mushroom spawn? ›
Lastly, but certainly not least, you can simply add your extra spawn to your compost pile. Chances are good you will get some mushrooms fruiting from that, but it will also add an extra boost to your compost and make it better than ever when the time comes to spreading that out in your garden.
Can we make mushroom spawn at home? ›
Starting from just 1 liter of sterilized grain and a slice of culture from a petri dish, the mushroom mycelium can be expanded to provide more than 1000 liters of spawn. One jar can be used to create 10 jars, which can be used to make 100 jars, which can be used to make 1000 jars, all within a few short weeks!
What is the difference between mushroom spawn and mycelium? ›
Spawn is the commercial term for mycelium colonizing a prepared substrate, such as straw, wood chips, or sawdust, and forms the backbone of all large-scale mushroom growing operations.
How do you save a mushroom spawn? ›
Keep spawn at room temperature if you will be using it in the next few days. For longer storage, refrigerate the spawn for up to 3 months. If you use a partial bag of spawn, store the remaining spawn in its original bag, folding the top down from the filter patch and clipping to secure.
How do you know if mushroom spawn is bad? ›
Before we get into it, here is a list of the basic signs of contamination in mushroom cultivation: Discoloration: Changes in color, such as yellow or brown spots or streaks on the surface of the mushrooms or growing medium. Off-odors: A strong, foul odor emanating from the growing containers or growing medium.
How long can you keep mycelium alive? ›
Preservation. Store your mycelium in the fridge until you are ready to start growing, unless it is already at room temperature when you buy it. An open bag of mycelium can be stored in the fridge for up to two years, by putting it in a micro-perforated plastic bag (salad bag).
Where is the best place to plant mushroom spores? ›
Mushrooms are best grown under-cover, where temperature and moisture can be controlled. A shed, garage, garden cold frame or cellar will work well – anywhere out of the sun where it's possible to give mushrooms their optimum growing temperature of around 15°C (the temperature shouldn't go below 10°C or above 20°C).
Collecting spores
A mature mushroom is said to contain up to 16 billion spores and so this gives plenty of opportunities to propagate. It is relatively easy but quite time consuming to collect your own spores as all you need is a mushroom (but make sure it's a known edible variety), some paper and glass.
Can you use a mushroom kit as spawn? ›
If you're feeling creative, you can use your Spray & Grow Kit like you would spawn, and inoculate some containers! This process works best with oyster mushroom kits that are hydrated well or have recently fruited. After digesting most of the block's food, the hungry mycelium will happily jump to more substrate.
Can mushroom spawn be frozen? ›
Mushroom spores can be frozen, but it is not the best method for long-term storage because freezing can cause damage to the spores and reduce their germination rate. Freezing can cause ice crystals to form inside the spores, which can damage the cells and make it difficult for the spores to germinate.
Should I throw away mushroom stems? ›
Generally, mushroom stalks are edible. So I think discarding mushroom stalks is a personal preference. Some mushroom stalks have a different flavor from its caps that's why some people are discarding it or making it as another dish.
Should I throw away mushroom water? ›
"it's safer to dispose it, because this water probably hails from the growth and cultivation of the mushrooms" - the whole mushroom is a product of growth and cultivation of the mushrooms, so by the same logic it's safer to throw everything away.
How do you get mushroom mycelium? ›
If you take some living tissue from a fresh mushroom and place it in a nutrient-rich growing medium, the mycelium will grow and spread throughout the growing medium. Commercial mushroom growers often use this method of growing mycelium as you get a clone of the original mushroom with all the same characteristics.
How long does it take to make mushroom spawn? ›
Once the mycelium is relatively uniform throughout the jar, leave it to incubate. The grain should be fully colonised with mycelium in seven to ten days. With agar tissue culture transfer and liquid inoculation, you should notice an initial fine mycelial network, jars may need to be shaken after 4-5 days.
How do you get mushroom spores in Minecraft? ›
Mushroom Spores can be obtained from breaking Brown Mushrooms and Brown Mushroom Blocks in the ⏣ Mystic Marsh or ⏣ Scarleton on the Crimson Isle.
