Special Fruiting Mix

This popular new mix is ideal for many varieties of mushrooms that require a slower growth rate.

Special Fruiting Mix Pellets are designed to provide a great nutritional makeup for varieties with a longer colonization and overall growth cycle. Comprising 80% Oak and 20% Organic Wheat Bran, these pellets are blended and compressed into an easy-to-use form. This mixture provides an optimal growing medium for Shiitake, Maitaka, Reishi, and more. Pelletized simplifies labor and measurements typically involved in mixing sawdust and wheat bran or wheat midds.

When crafting your ideal substrate mix for many slow fruiting species, the two essential ingredients are 100% Red Oak Sawdust and Wheat Bran. These pellets offer a convenient alternative, being easier to handle, transport, mix, and measure than loose b. They also break down rapidly when water is added.

Unicorn 14-A with XLS-A Filter for extra air exchange is ideal for growing gourmet and medicinal mushroom.

The 14A with XLS filter provides just the right amount of gas exchange/air flow for most top-fruiting strains to fully develop en vitro (without even needing to cut the bag for added oxygen). Some strains still prefer the cut bag at a certain point in fruit-body development, but size of cut still depends on the bag's external environment for humidity and sterility. Fruiting with these bags en vitro means you are less reliant on supplemental humidity like there is in most gourmet mushroom fruiting environments. It also allows fruiting en vitro in "dirtier" grow spaces with less opportunity for contamination.

These are also a great alternative to growing in tubs.
