Sterile Hardwood Substrate

seems to be working great. I tried to make my own at home but couldn't get it right. much easier to buy from these guys and know that it will work with no problems. mushrooms colonized great. good value for the money and even the appearance of the bag and shipping box shows care.

The only grain I will buy. Nice and tightly packed with fresh hydrated and sterile millet. I inoculated it with a spore syringe from a reputable supplier. Set the temp to 77, and let it sit in the dark cozy closet. I was careful to minimize possibility of contam. Sprayed the bag all over w alcohol first thing. Applied fire to the syringe. Sprayed the grow room w isopropyl alcohol too. You cant do too much sterilizing. Use sterile gloves if you have them. Mycelium noticeable in a week. Spreads rapidly. After the second week, I had about 2 pounds of pure, fresh fluffy mycelium. Went on to grow the biggest flush ever in a monotub. Happy growing!

Haven't had a problem with a bag yet! I've been able to colonize and spawn to bulk with every single one. I will say this, North Spore is a brand i trust. There's plenty of other bigger and cheaper grain bags on here..but I know this works, it's clean, and if there is ever a problem, North Spore will take care of it. Not if you inoculated and nothing grew...im talking about if the grains don't look right, the bag isnt vacuum sealed, or it smells bad. Quality is 10/10. It does its magic thing every single time :)

Tried this and a drippy corn variant to see which performed better. The drippy corn is half colonized, with zero activity in this bag. (Same syringe, drippy corn was innoculated last). Needless to say I am buying more drippy corn for my Lion's mane and skipping this. Enough can go wrong in the process, don't use inferior gear.

Self healing injection port is working solid, no contams 3 weeks post injection- which also points to the fact that they autoclaved this thing well. It's been well over a month since I got it and that means it's probably been a month and a week since it was packed. The price is a steal for the work I avoided, and considering how little output I do it's just easier. North Spore is solid and they've been in the game for years, I wouldn't shave off a couple dollars to get a version that I would even have to worry about mold with. It was good to go out of the box, just unfold it gently and don't get your filter wet. I don't know if it's waterproof, I always assume no. Oh, no big moisture spots or visible dryness either if you're worried about that.

Spawned fast! Great product for the money. thank you

I recently tried the North Spore 3lb bag of sterilized grain, and it has been a great addition to my mushroom cultivation setup. The grain arrived in perfect condition, well-packaged, and ready to use right out of the bag. The sterilization was spot-on—no contaminants, which is crucial for a successful grow. The quality of the grain itself is impressive; it's consistent and works well with my mushroom spore syringes. Overall, this product offers excellent value for the price and performs as advertised. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about growing mushrooms at home.

Good stuff. I innoculated my grain bag on feb 30th and It was fully colonized on march 9th. I was shocked how fast it was fully colonized. Overall if you have the extra money to throw around this is some good grain to use. But if you don't it's not necessary when mycolabs has grain jars 3 pack for 28$. Vendors also sell drippy corn 10$ for a 3lb bag. Really hope north spore can get the pricing down per bag but overall good experience 👍
