Mushroom cultivation substrate

Information

What is mushroom substrate and what is it for?

Mushroom growing medium is a professional mixture of organic and mineral materials designed for the fruiting phase of the mycelium. This substrate combines coconut fibre, vermiculite and pasteurised compost with a balanced ratio of nutrients that promote the formation of healthy, high-yielding fruiting bodies.

Its porous and aerated structure keeps humidity stable and allows proper oxygenation, which is key for the development of hallucinogenic and edible mushrooms. Thanks to its stable, contaminant-free formulation, this substrate facilitates consistent results in both home growing and experimental mycology projects.

How to use

This substrate is intended for the second phase of cultivation: fruiting. After inoculation and colonisation of sterile maize grain, the fully developed mycelium can be mixed with this nutrient mixture to stimulate mushroom emergence.

Its high moisture retention and balanced texture between firmness and aeration allows for an even distribution of the mycelium throughout the substrate, ensuring vigorous growth. It is ideal for those looking to move from laboratory cultivation or incubation to a stable and visually controlled production phase.

• Ready to use: no pasteurisation or additional preparation required.
• Optimal moisture retention for extended fruiting cycles.
• Compatible with mycelium on sterilised grain.
• Consistent results with edible and psilocibic strains.
• Ideal for technical and experimental growers.
