Sterilized mushroom substrate made from premium oak and soy pellets, 50-50, with 500 grams of wheat bran for added calories. This mix is an adaptation of the Masters Mix, yet it provides a stable recipe for most mushroom cultivation. Benefits of Using Sterilized Mushroom Substrate Another advantage is the ease of use associated with sterilized substrates. They come pre-prepared, allowing growers to focus on the inoculation process without the hassle of preparing their own substrate. This convenience is especially appealing for those new to mushroom farming or those looking to streamline their operations. One of the primary benefits of using a sterilized mushroom substrate is the reduction of contamination risks. By sterilising the substrate, all unwanted microorganisms are eliminated, significantly increasing the chances of successful mushroom cultivation. The sterilized mushroom substrate contains 55-60% water content and is sterilised at 125 psi / 130°C for 2 hours. All batches have temperature indicator tape inserted to provide a visual indicator of sterilisation. We have capacity for 230 blocks at 2kg per run. Our facility boasts a capacity for 230 blocks at 2kg per run, which allows us to meet the demands of both hobbyist growers and larger commercial operations. Inoculation of the sterilized mushroom substrate must occur in sterile airflow environments or through a still air box. This step is critical to prevent contamination from airborne spores and bacteria. This is a custom made product, lead times are currently at 5-7 days. It’s important to note that our sterilized mushroom substrate is a custom-made product, and lead times are currently at 5-7 days. This timeframe allows us to ensure that each batch is crafted to meet our high-quality standards. Available in 1kg, 2kg, and 3kg, our sterilized mushroom substrate options cater to a variety of growing needs.
