High-Quality Sawdust Spawn

Are you looking for an easy way to get into mushroom cultivation? Sawdust spawn is a great choice for those looking to grow gourmet mushrooms as it is relatively easy to work with and produces good results. You can use sawdust spawn to inoculate a variety of substrates including logs, wood chips, straw, and even coffee grounds. The best way to inoculate a substrate with sawdust spawn is to mix the sawdust spawn with the substrate in a clean environment. When inoculating logs, it is best to drill holes into the logs and then fill the holes with the sawdust spawn. Once the substrate is fully colonized, it can be used to grow mushrooms.

FAQ

Can I use sawdust spawn to grow my own mushrooms?

Of course! Sawdust spawn is a great way to get started with mushroom cultivation. It is relatively easy to work with and produces good results.

What is mushroom spawn?

Mushroom spawn is simply live mushroom mycelium (the vegetative part of a fungus) grown on a sterile substrate. The most common substrates used for mushroom spawn are grains, sawdust, and wood chips. Spawn is used to inoculate (or “seed”) larger substrates or fruiting blocks which will then be used to grow mushrooms.

What is Sawdust Spawn?

Hardwood sawdust is a common substrate for mushroom cultivation as it is readily available and relatively cheap. Sawdust spawn is made by inoculating sawdust with live mycelium which will then colonize the substrate. Once fully colonized, the sawdust spawn can be used to inoculate other substrates or fruiting blocks.

What type of Hardwood Sawdust is used for sawdust spawn?

Any type of hardwood sawdust can be used to make sawdust spawn. Softwood sawdust is not suitable for most commonly grown species of gourmet mushrooms. At Fungi Farm, we use hardwood sawdust supplemented with soybean hulls. More specifically, we use hardwood sawdust pellets. Hardwood pellets are used by many farms to grow most gourmet mushrooms

What is the difference between grain spawn and sawdust spawn?

The main difference between grain spawn and sawdust spawn is the substrate that they are made with. Grain spawn is made by inoculating grains (usually rye or wheat) with live mycelium while sawdust spawn is made by inoculating sawdust with live mycelium.

Both grain spawn and sawdust spawn can be used to inoculate larger substrates or fruiting blocks. However, sawdust spawn is generally considered to be better for inoculating larger substrates while grain spawn is better for inoculating smaller substrates or fruiting blocks.

What is the difference between sawdust spawn and plug spawn?

The main difference between sawdust spawn and plug spawn is the substrate that they are made with. Sawdust spawn is made by inoculating sawdust with live mycelium while plug spawn is made by inoculating dowels or plugs with live mycelium.

Both sawdust spawn and plug spawn can be used to inoculate logs or stumps. However, sawdust spawn is generally considered to be better for inoculating larger substrates while plug spawn is better for inoculating smaller substrates due to cost.

What substrates can be used with sawdust spawn?

Sawdust spawn can be used to inoculate a variety of substrates including logs, wood chips, straw, and even coffee grounds.

How do I inoculate a substrate with sawdust spawn?

The best way to inoculate a substrate with sawdust spawn is to mix the sawdust spawn with the substrate in a clean environment. When inoculating logs, it is best to drill holes into the logs and then fill the holes with the sawdust spawn. Once the substrate is fully colonized, it can be used to grow mushrooms.

Can I use sawdust spawn to grow mushrooms outdoors?

Yes, sawdust spawn can be used for growing mushrooms outdoors. Outdoor mushroom beds and logs are just a couple of ways to do this. There are many ways to use mycelium grown on a sawdust substrate.

What are the benefits of using sawdust spawn over other types of spawn?

Sawdust spawn has a number of benefits including its ease of use, low cost, and good results.

Which varieties should I start with?

Oyster mushrooms are always best for beginners, but you can also grow lion's mane mushrooms, king oyster, shiitake mushrooms, and many more gourmet mushrooms.

How long will the spawn last?

Spawn can last for several months if stored properly.

How should I store the spawn?

The spawn should be stored in a cool, dark place.

How much spawn do I need?

The amount of spawn needed will depend on the substrate that you are using and the size of the area you are inoculating.

How do I know if the spawn is still good?

The easiest way to tell if the spawn is still good is to look for signs of mold or other contaminants. If you see any mold, it is best to discard the spawn and start over.

How long does it take for the sawdust spawn to colonize a substrate?

The amount of time it takes for sawdust spawn to colonize a substrate will depend on the type of substrate and the conditions in which it is being grown. Generally, it takes between two and six weeks for sawdust spawn to fully colonize a substrate.

Good luck!

Fixed a Bead Sealing Issue
Size: 1-Gallon (128 oz)
For traction in snow, I recently installed new "agricultural" style lugged front tires on a Simplicity garden tractor from around 1980. The tractor looks like it's survived a war, evidently having had a hard life as a workhorse owned by a school district. The front rims are rusty, and I naively thought the beads of these thick tires would seal properly anyway. They didn't. The jug of sealant ships with a valve core removal tool. Removing and reinstalling the cores is a piece of cake if you've never done it. I pumped a generous amount of the product into each tire and then did a few fast laps in a grassy paddock. It's a Kohler 19HP twin and it's a bit of a rocket. 😎 One tire sealed, the other didn't, and there was still a faint hiss. I added more product to that side and repeated the process. It seemed to hold. The next day that side was flat again, so I added more sealant and this time it held. Based on this experience, I'd say that instead of strictly following what the instructions recommended as an amount per tire, keep adding product in increments until the tire holds air. It's good stuff and it works. Will the tire self-heal if I puncture it? I don't know yet. It saved me the headache of having to remount these small tires or install tubes.

Stop wasting your money on green slime or Fix-A-Flat or any of the other tire sealant
Size: 1-Gallon (128 oz)
Flat out is by far the best product on the market to fix flat tires and prevent flat tires. This will be the second gallon jug that I purchased that stuff on everything. all of my landscape equipment has it in every tire. And to paint and even better picture for you I have a scag mower that is 20 years old The tires are probably 18 years old ugly as could be and would not hold air until I put the flat out in it it has been sitting now for over a year and every tire still has air That's how good the stuff is. Don't just buy one gallon by two cuz it will get used

John Deere 5x4 (gator)
Size: 4-Pack (128 oz), Size: 4-Pack (128 oz)
Excellent product. The John Deere 5x4 (Gator) in picture sat for ten years, the tires were flat, the front tire was the worse. To move this Gator from my neighbors place he had to load it on a trailer, he aired up the rear 4 tires but the front would air up and leak before he could move it. He put a make do wheel to get it moved to my place. shortly after unloading the rear 4 tires went flat. All were badly weathered. I read about a stop leak "FLATOUT" I ordered one bottle and put it in the front wheel and I aired it up, it held air for several hours. I called FLATOUT Support and told them I put 1/2 bottle in front tire and how it helped, He said it calls for a full bottle per tire so I added the rest of the FLATOUT. I bought four more bottles of FLATOUT and put those in all 4 tires, put air in and drove the unit a block. next day two tires were low so I finished putting FLATOUT in and aired the tires and drove two to three blocks. the weather snowed so I parked the Gator for two weeks, the tires never went flat. I checked the air pressure and had lost about 2-3 pounds, refilled with air and on a warm day drove the Gator about 2 miles. No flat tires. Note the front tire had a weathered crack 4 inches long where it sat folded for so many years and I saw where this product had sealed this leak and no air loss after two weeks of sitting.
