About Myco Mojo
As you’ve visited this page it suggests you want to know a little about Myco Mojo, so here goes! We started out as home growers, like many businesses supplying products for home mushroom growers. When we started growing mushrooms we tripped over a multitude of problems, had our fair share of disasters and pulled our hair out faster than we could grow it! Luckily, we learn quickly and pretty soon we had a lively business supplying a range of local businesses with mushrooms and mushroom products.
We’ve been selling products aimed solely at home growers for quite some time now and it occurred to us in 2023 that we should set up a separate company and brand name for these products. So, in early 2024 we launched Myco Mojo. Operating from the same premises we’ve used for the past couple of years, we are a smallish Essex-based business run by a small group of friends and family. We take what we do seriously and take great pride in providing a high quality product.
Although we sell the products we produce, we also use more or less everything we produce. For example, the sterilised grain we produce for online buyers is the exact same grain we use ourselves, taken from exactly the same sterilisation runs. We think that has to be probably the best form of quality control available!
About Myco Mojo Shop
Our online store includes a range of products that mushroom growers need, from sterilised rye or millet for use as grain spawn, sterile mushroom substrates for mixing with your grain spawn and ready-made grow bags for those just starting out. We also offer a limited selection of mushroom liquid cultures that you’ll need to inoculate your grain and fully colonised agar dishes that can be used either to inoculate grain or to create your own liquid culture at home.
If you’d rather not wait around while your grain colonises, which can take several weeks – even longer for some mushroom species, we also offer a limited range of fully colonised grain spawn, ready for inoculating your chosen substrate, mushroom spore syringes, mushroom spore prints for microscopy fans and more.
Due to the time it takes to produce them, some of these products will be offered subject to availability and may be out of stock from time to time, but we are happy to accept back orders for any products that are temporarily unavailable.
Organic Products
One of the things you should know about Myco Mojo is that we take pride in offering the highest quality products produced from only the best organic products. It’s not that we’re certified tree-huggers, it’s simply that in our experience, organic products tend to provide the best results.
Fresh Products
One thing that is always true is that the fresher your grain and substrates are, the better your chances are of a successful grow. We run sterilisation cycles daily and produce only enough product for our own use and an estimated one day’s worth of orders, meaning that products dispatched to customers are very rarely more than 48 hours old. Freshness matters. Stale products are a magnet for contamination and don’t work as well as fresh products. If you think about it, the sterilised grain you use for grain spawn is very similar to cooked food – it has been soaked in water, boiled and then effectively steam cooked. If you were given a choice between eating a piece of cold chicken that was cooked the day before and one that was cooked a week or more earlier, you’d choose the fresh one. Mushrooms have similar preferences!
Third Party Products
As well as products we produce ourselves, we also supply a small range of additional products that home growers are likely to use, such as Unicorn mushroom bags, bag/jar filters and so on as a convenience to customers not wanting to look elsewhere for these products.
