Make your own Masters Mix
For amazing results growing Oyster Mushrooms, Lion’s Mane, and other varieties growers trust the masters mix. Now with MushroomMediaOnline’s own fast fruiting mix you can make your own masters mix without all the time and effort.
Just follow the simple measuring of the Fast Fruiting Pellets then add water and mix well. You can then sterlize your own fast fruiting mix or masters mix as normal at 15 PSI for 2.5 hours.
The Fast Fruiting Mix (AKA Masters Mix) provides pellets that are 50% oak hardwood and 50% soy hulls in pellet form. These pellets are produced as a single pellet that has the 50-50 mix. This means you never have to worry about measuring the individual ingredients out, or getting too much of one ingredient over the other.
You do not want to purchase a premixed bag of ingredients, that are loose. There is no way when they are not in pellet form that the percentages remain accurate when shipped. That is why we spend the time to make these custom pellets.
Enhance your mushroom cultivation with our premium 100% Oak Pellets. Sourced naturally and free from added chemicals or oils, these pellets are specifically designed to serve as the ideal substrate for your mushrooms. Unlike heating pellets, which may contain unknown contaminants, our oak pellets ensure a safe and optimal growing medium for your mushrooms, nurtured with love and serious effort.
Our oak pellets are perfect for supplementation and are crafted from the same high-quality wood used in our popular Fast Fruiting Pellets, which are a blend of 50% Oak and 50% Soy Hull. Oak is the preferred wood for many mushroom varieties, including Oysters, Shiitake, Pioppini, Reishi, and Lion’s Mane, all of which thrive on oak sawdust.
You can enhance your oak pellets with additional nutrients or combine them with our soy hull pellets to create your own master mix. For growers who have access to some ingredients locally but lack oak hardwood, we’ve shipped as far as Hawaii to meet their needs. (For shipments outside the contiguous 48 states, please contact us.)
Available in 10 lb, 20 lb, 40 lb, and 60 lb sizes (and more), you can start with small orders by purchasing individual bags here or request a custom quote for bulk delivery. Ensure your mushrooms grow in the best medium available with our 100% Oak Pellets.
Which varieties grow best in oak sawdust?
Oysters, Shiitake, Pioppini, Reishi, and Lion’s Mane all respond well to oak sawdust. Purchasing in pellet form helps you measure the proper quantity for your substrate.
How much water should I add to my pellets?
That depends on the variety of mushroom and your growing conditions. A good place to start is at 60% water. Or 6lbs of water for every 4lbs of oak pellets. Remember, this will change based on the mushrooms you are growing and any supplementation you add to your substrate mix.
Why is oak preferred by many mushroom growers?
Oak is ideal, since it is very dense and offers plenty of nutrition for a longer, sustained fruiting period. Depending on your mushroom variety and strain, you may want to supplement your oak with brans, or with soy hulls for nutrition. We also offer the Fast Fruiting mix which is an ideal 50/50% mix of soy hulls and oak. We make our Fast Fruiting Mix at the pelletizing stage. This means less work for the farmer, and preservation of that ideal substrate mix.
Why do you sell the oak pellets separately?
Based on customer demand. In some areas of the United States getting good hardwood is difficult. So many of our customers prefer to order these top-quality pellets direct from Mushroom Media Online. By having pellets delivered they are able to keep up with their farms’ demands without spending time trying to find local sources.
What makes your pellets unique?
Our oak pellets are food grade pellets, that are naturally sourced. Not meaning that they are for consumption, but rather that with no added oils, or chemicals they offer the safest input for your mushroom production. With other pellets you may run the risk of chemicals or oils being on and in the pellets.
Who are your customers?

Why use the Fast Fruiting Mix?
With the Fast Fruiting Mix (AKA Masters Mix) you save labor time in your production of your grow bags. Measure the pellets, add the water and mix well. That is all that is required for success.
Are your pellets premixed?
Our pellets are better than premixed that are made to have 50% hardwood and 50% soy hulls from the start. Our Amish manufacturer makes these custom pellets from scratch. We provide the oak hardwood sawdust, and the soy hulls. They measure those and make them into the Fast Fruiting Mix pellets.
By creating our pellets this way we assure your get a finished product that is premeasured correctly for the masters mix.
How much more productive is the Fast Fruiting Mix?
The increased yield and health varies based on the strain used and your environmental factors. Many growers have reported much larger flushes not only on the first fruiting phase, but in the next two as well.
You should test the mix for yourself in your own farm.
What sizes are available?
We offer by the bag or by the pallet. This way you can try the Fast Fruiting Mix for yourself. Then when you know it is right for your farm you can purchase in bulk and save even more money.
Purchase on an as needed basis or set up a standing order to automate the process.
How much do you need for your farm?
Doing a very basic calculation you can determine how many pounds you should order. If you use 5lbs substrate bags once mixed you can use the calculator on the left to determine how many pounds of Fast Fruiting Mix you should order.
If you use larger fruiting bags you can use the calculation for the 5lbs bags as a guide. In example if you use 10lb bags just double the result.
