Cultivation Questions

How do I inoculate the substrate?

Inoculation involves injecting your chosen mushroom culture into the substrate. Our substrates come with a self-healing injection port, making this process simple and contamination-free. We recommend using the specified amount of culture as noted on each product's description.

What should I do if my substrate becomes contaminated?

If you notice contamination, it's best to discard the affected substrate to prevent the spread of mold or other issues. To avoid contamination, ensure you are working in a clean environment and follow best practices for inoculation.

While some growers experiment with reusing substrates, we recommend using fresh substrate for each grow to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of contamination.
