Inoculation
To inoculate the grain bag, inject your spore or culture syringe through the port in a sterile location. Use clean hands and latex or nitrile gloves to reduce the introduction of contaminants.
It is best practice to wait a minimum of 1 week after arrival before injecting grain bags to ensure they were not compromised during transit. Your purchase is 100% guaranteed.
Recommended ratio is 2.5-5ccs per 3lb injection port bag. Typically, it is not recommended to use an entire syringe in one bag. Doing so adds excessive moisture which can create over saturation in the bag. This over-saturation can pool and is prone to being anaerobic, making it more difficult for mycelium to colonize.
Colonization
Allow your bag to colonize in a cool location out of direct sunlight. Temperature for incubation shouldn’t exceed 75 degrees F or dip below 55 degrees F. After a couple of weeks, you should start to see mycelium growing on the grain.
You’ll notice the white mycelium growing outward from the injection point. When it has grown three to four inches you should, without opening the bag, carefully break up the colonized grain and mix it into the uncolonized grain. This will dramatically speed up the colonization process.
When the bag is completely white with mycelium your spawn is ready to use. This may take a couple of weeks to a month or more depending on the species and vigor of your culture.
