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.

Until I have an issue I can only say that the quality and consistency in their products is why I recommend once past the beginner learning phase.

This company excels at packing their products. Living in Hawaii, where items often shift during transport, I appreciate how well they package their grain and substrate. I never have issues, so I'll be purchasing all my grain and substrate from Mycology Simplified. I love the stickers.

I wanted to try something new other than BR and drippy 🌽. I was shocked to see the mycelium growth after a few days I was expecting at least a week. I really love the packaging as it came in double sealed perfectly. Super sterilize and I didn't have to worry about buying a pressure cooker

I love the black contrast I'm able to see growth a lot sooner than squinting. Also is way more shelf stable in my AZ heat than a nutritional yeast I had purchased

So much better than this roll of parafilm I had bought that turned out to be just Saran wrap. I had dropped a plate and the wrapp unraveled. This is secure and I I feel like it better against contamination

Inoculated two days ago and I'm already seeing mycelium growth 📈. I will be purchasing again soon. I love the stickers that came with it. I made two separate purchases and got different stickers which made me happy.
