North Spore North Spore 'Mastr Mix' Sterile Soyhull & Hardwood Bulk Substrate - 5lb
Create your own sawdust spawn and fruiting blocks! Our premium sterilized ‘Mastr Mix’ contains a blend of hardwood sawdust, non-GMO soyhulls, and select substrate amendments. This proprietary blend is formulated for higher yields and has a pleasant, leafy, deep veggie aroma (thanks to the premium soyhulls used in our recipe). After more than a year of development, the result is a product with a better nutritional profile for a faster mycelial run (and even better yields than the original mix mushroom growers have come to love!) ‘Mastr Mix’ is an ideal bulk substrate and can be used with any of our grain spawn strains. Making fruiting blocks? This bulk substrate is ideal for fruiting straight from the bag in a controlled environment (like a martha tent or monotub). Moisture content: Each bag is optimally hydrated for fast colonization times and top yields. How to use: For 3 lb. bag of inoculated grain spawn - we recommend 8-12 bags of Mastr Mix For 6 lb. bag of inoculated grain spawn - we recommend 16-24 bags of Mastr Mix (Higher inoculation rates may improve colonization times and yield.)

North Spore North Spore CVG (Coco Vermiculite Gypsum) Sterile Bulk Substrate - 5lb
Grow a variety of fungi with this beginner-friendly classic! CVG has been helping beginner growers experience the joys of bulk substrates for decades. It’s a simple recipe – Coco, Vermiculite, and Gypsum – that yields consistent results. We use premium, third-party tested ingredients, then hydrate to field capacity and sterilize in industrial autoclaves for a bulk substrate that provides dependable yields. Our ready-to-use CVG blend starts with our own RHP-certified MycoCoco as the base (the first coco coir researched and selected specifically for its mushroom cultivation qualities). We then add asbestos-free, horticulture-grade, US-sourced vermiculite and complete the trifecta with OMRI-approved gypsum. These components have a low bacterial load and low nitrogen levels making them less prone to contamination and ideal for beginner growers. The result is a perfect balanced substrate for mushroom spawn to prosper and fruit. Moisture content: Each bag is optimally hydrated for fast colonization times and top yields. Spawn to bulk ratio: We recommended mixing 1 colonized grain spawn bag with 2-3 bags of CVG. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.)

North Spore North Spore Pre-Poured Sterile Agar Plates - 10ct
Dimensions90 mm x 15 mm Media Potato Dextrose Agar Autoclavable? No These pre-poured sterile agar petri dishes are ideal for growing out fungal cultures, cloning wild mushroom specimens, and germinating fungal spores. Each dish contains pre-sterilized potato dextrose agar (PDA). Pre-poured agar plates offer many benefits over pouring your own dishes. In addition to convenience, they are also less likely to contaminate your cultures because they are poured in a lab under an industrial-grade flow hood. Storing unused plates: For best results, use plates as soon as possible after receiving them. Store unused plates upright, at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight in the original packaging, preferably in a clean secondary container. (Unused plates can be stored upside down in the fridge. However, this can lead to condensation on the lid which can increase contamination risk.) Check for condensation from time to time. Condensation in the plates means there is a heat source driving out water from the agar, which will dry out plates quickly. Before using, allow your plates equilibrate to room temperature. Storing plates with cultures: Once cultures are added to plates, store them right side up in the refrigerator.

North Spore North Spore 0.2 Micron Filter Patch Mushroom Grow Bags - 10ct
These autoclavable mushroom grow bags are our go-to for indoor mushroom cultivation and spawn production. Bags are made of 2.2 ml thick polypropylene plastic and are designed to withstand high temperatures. The 0.2 micron filter also allows for ample gas exchange. These bags are durable and clear enough to make monitoring growth easy and can be sealed with an impulse sealer, or just be tied to the seal. Recommended use (substrate/spawn): Fill half way, then fold the bag over twice. Make sure the filter is not obstructed. Be careful not to spill any substrate on the upper regions of the bag. If you do, wipe clean. ⚠ WARNING: POLYPROPYLENE MELTS ABOVE 25PSI AND 350°F Plastic grow bags are designed to withstand high temperatures during sterilization. However prolonged direct contact with the base of an autoclave or pressure cooker can result in damage to bags. Never leave bags unattended in an autoclave or pressure cooker. Keep bags away from the metal sides of your equipment to avoid damage. Any sudden change in pressure will cause bags to rupture or burst. Always allow autoclave or pressure cooker to cool down and depressurize before opening to remove bags.
