Perlite is an incredibly light, porous, volcanic material that has been popped like popcorn under high temperatures. Inorganic making it resistant to contamination.

 

Having a huge surface area, it is able to hold large volumes of water. This water easily evaporates to increase relative humidity in a fruiting container such as a "mono tub" or "SGFC" (Shotgun Fruiting Chamber).

 

Mono tubs and shotgun fruiting chambers are simple containers with holes drilled for air exchange. Perlite is soaked in water to holding capacity, drained and put in the bottom of the tub -- where it will let the water evaporate over time and increase the humidity within the chamber.

TESTIMONIALS

"Excellent service!

Sporeshift have consistently got the best service of any online provider I have used. From the time of order to delivery the communication is great. I frequently wonder why other businesses can't to it the way they do. Excellence in action. And no, I am not their mother ... just a satisfied customer and mushroom lover. :)"

"As a budding mycologist I just want to say how much I appreciate the investment in getting these new Species/ Phenos approved through MPI. I do hope you are aware that it opens the door for ALL of us here in NZ to learn about, grow and study an otherwise inaccessible taxonomical branch and that this kind of effort is extremely appreciated!"
