Here is where you can order mushroom grain spawn and spawn matrixes (as well as on individual species pages). We produce our mushroom spawn to the highest laboratory standards, using premium quality cultures which are unique to MycoLogic. Our strains represent years of research and development in sourcing and trialling strains in various conditions to select the top mushroom genetics. All spawn is sent fully colonised and ready to use, and undergoes a quality control check prior to dispatch. Spawn should be kept refrigerated until use (for up to 1 month). All spawn comes in 1kg filter patch bags. If you order 2 or 3kg of spawn it will be multiple 1kg bags.

Grain spawn does not come with printed instructions, however you can check our grow guides for instructions on how to use grain spawn (oyster mushrooms can be grown on pasteurised straw or sawdust blocks, all other species that come as grain spawn are usually grown on sawdust blocks only). Spawn matrixes for outdoor patches (not grains but a mix of organic substrates specific to each species) come with printed instructions on how to set up your outdoor patch. Below is a quick run through each species available - check the individual species pages for more info.
