Lion’s Mane Mushroom Grain Spawn – 1Kg colonized rye grain spawn (may also contain a percentage of millet). Save yourself the time spent inoculating and incubating grain by taking advantage of our pre-colonized grain packs. Your grain will be fully colonised prior to dispatch and in most cases the grain will already be broken up in the bag.
Please note that the photo used for this product is a generic photo of our colonised grain which has not been broken up, and not all mycelium looks the same – Oyster mushroom mycelium, for example, is much whiter in appearance and much denser.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Grain Spawn is generally dispatched within 48 hours of order but, subject to availability, may take up to 14 days. In the event that a delay applies to an order, you will be contacted with details of the delay and offering you the chance to cancel your order if the delay is unacceptable.
Once delivered, customers should leave the grain bag untouched for a few days, both to allow any remaining uncolonized grain to be colonized and also to stabilise prior to use. Although colonized grain is fairly resistant to contamination, care must be taken when mixing with your chosen substrate to reduce exposure to unfiltered air, and to ensure the chosen container for the mix is dry and totally sterile. If the grain block has not been broken up prior to dispatch, carefully but firmly manipulate the bag to break the grain up until it consists of loose grain. If the bag is ‘tight’ gently pull apart the gussets at the top of the bag so that air is drawn in through the air filter without opening the bag.
The grain can then be mixed with your chosen substrate at the correct ratio in a sterile and fully sealable container to allow the mixture to fully colonise. This can take 3-6 weeks depending on mushroom type, storage environment, bag/container size and substrate type. Click here for guidance on inoculating substrates with grain spawn.

Storage: We recommend using your Lion’s Mane Mushroom Grain Spawn within a week, but if you need to store it for a longer period of time, keep it in a cool dark place for up to 1 month. Do not store below 4°C or close to freezer compartments in a fridge as too low a temperature can kill the mycelium.
