Reishi Mushroom Grain Spawn 1.5kg

Reishi Spawn

Reishi is one of the oldest and most respected mushrooms in traditional Asian practice. This reishi mushroom grain spawn is 1.5kg of millet and milo grain, fully colonised by Ganoderma lucidum and ready to spawn into hardwood substrate.

What Is Included

• 1 x 1.5kg reishi grain spawn bag
• Access to our online growing guide

What to Grow It On

Reishi needs hardwood. Sterilised oak or beech sawdust with a little bran makes a great indoor substrate. It is also excellent for inoculating hardwood logs or stumps, which can produce reishi for years.

How to Use

1. Break up the spawn.
2. Mix into sterilised hardwood substrate at 10 to 20 percent.
3. Incubate at 24 to 28°C until fully colonised.
4. Fruit warm and humid. Low fresh air gives antlers, more fresh air gives classic shelf shaped conks.

Our Take

Reishi is the slowest mushroom we grow, but also the least demanding. Ours have sat happily in a warm cupboard for weeks with minimal attention.

Storage

Fridge for up to two weeks.
