Substrate and Spawn Preparation

If you are planning to cultivate a large volume of mushrooms, you may want to borrow or invest in a small mixer.

It has been found that substrates that have been combined using a mechanical mixer tend to absorb up to 69% more water than otherwise. Large mushroom farms also make use of steam to loosen and add even more moisture to the substrate.

The introduction of steam also sterilizes/pasteurizes the substrate, which makes it even more ideal for mushroom culture because the steam kills bacteria and even fungal mycelium, upon contact. Once the mixed substrate has been mixed and steamed, it’s time to cool it down.
