Rye Berry Grains are one of the best spawn choices to inoculate and grow mycelium in. It is actually what we use for our All in One Grow Bags. But why is it such an economically great choice for growing mushrooms? It is because you require very little rye berry grains when transferring it to substrate (such as coco coir).

How Efficient is Using Grain Spawn?

It is no exaggeration to say you only need a few grams of grain for a pound of substrate. The more grains you put in, the more areas of growth the mycelium has a chance to grow in. Naturally, the more you insert the faster your overall growth. However, even if you do decide to be liberal and use a generous amount of grain, the amount spent to mushrooms yielded ratio just cannot be beat. Putting in more grain will save you a few days in terms of waiting for mycelium growth but you are still guaranteed growth!

Is Grain Spawn Right for Me?

Short answer depends on level of experience. We know mushroom cultivation is daunting for those just getting into it. There are many avenues when getting into mushroom growing. Do you want to start with a straightforward grow bag? Go straight to a still air box? Invest in a laminar flow hood? Work with agar? Grain spawn would sit approximately in the middle of the mushroom cultivation experience.
