NZ-Produced Wheat Grain
 
Wheat is a fantastic grain for making grain spawn for all common wood and dung-loving mushroom species.
 
Wheat grains are high in essential nutrients for mushrooms and act as packets of water and food for your mycelium to grow into your fruiting substrate. The hardy shells help prevent the grains from becoming mushy, making them easier to mix once sterilized.
 
Usage Instructions:
Mix with 1-2% >>gypsum by dry weight of the grain spawn (e.g., for 2 kg of spawn, use 20-40 grams of gypsum).
Soak in warm water for 12-18 hours, drain, bag into >>filter patch bags and pressure cook at 15psi for 3+ hours.
Alternativley grain can be boiled and then steam dried while hot instead of the longer warm water soak.
 
Grain is animal feed grade, so it may contain small pieces of straw, etc.
