Unlock the Secret: What's Inside Your Substrate
-
Coco Coir
Coco coir is popular in mushroom substrate for its excellent moisture retention and aeration, supporting optimal mycelium growth. Its pH level encourages mushroom growth while minimizing contamination. Plus, it's eco-friendly, sustainable, and biodegradable. Overall, coco coir provides an ideal environment for mushroom cultivation, making it a top choice for growers.
-
Vermiculite
Vermiculite is crucial in mushroom substrate for maintaining ideal moisture levels, preventing compaction, and stabilizing pH, all vital for successful mushroom cultivation. Its multifaceted benefits create an optimal environment for robust mycelium growth and fruitful mushroom production.
-
Worm-Castings
Worm castings, or vermicompost, enrich mushroom substrate with essential nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, promoting robust mycelium growth and abundant fruiting. Their porous texture fosters optimal conditions for mushroom cultivation, enhancing substrate quality and resulting in improved yields and quality.
-
Azomite
Azomite enriches mushroom substrate with essential minerals, supporting healthy mycelium growth and robust fruiting. Its natural composition enhances substrate structure, promoting optimal aeration and moisture retention for improved mushroom development. Overall, Azomite is a valuable addition to substrate, ensuring nutrient-rich conditions for successful cultivation.
-
Gypsum
Gypsum benefits mushroom substrate by improving soil structure, providing essential nutrients, and aiding in moisture retention. It prevents compaction, supports healthy mycelium growth, and regulates pH levels, creating an ideal environment for mushroom cultivation. Overall, gypsum enhances substrate quality, leading to improved yields and successful mushroom production.
-
Reverse Osmosis Water
Reverse osmosis (RO) water is ideal for mushroom substrate because it's free from contaminants and minerals that might hinder mycelium growth. Its purity ensures a clean hydration source, preventing substrate imbalance and promoting optimal conditions for mushroom development. Overall, RO water enhances substrate quality and maximizes mushroom yields.

Best Mycology Supplier out there hands down. Everything about this guy and his brand is just diamond tier. From his extremely and ridiculously high quality products… to the fact he makes it all and does all the labor himself by his hand ensuring that everything is done in front of a flowhood with sterile techniques being applied and also using only lab grade equipment to create his mycology supply products.
Quick delivery and so far product working well. Promoting fast growth.
