Mushrooms fruit best when lights, fans and humidifiers run on a schedule they can count on. This heavy-duty 110V plug-in timer handles it for you: set up to 48 on/off changes a day in 30-minute steps, and it repeats the same pattern every 24 hours until you change it. 48Cycles per day 30 minSteps 110VPlug-in 24 hrRepeating Why use a timer Consistent lightA steady daily light cycle is easy to keep when it is automated.

Silica gel drying canisters keep dried mushrooms from picking up moisture in storage. Drop a few into a bag, jar or container and the 2g of silica gel in each vented canister soaks up humidity to help prevent mold. They can also finish an almost-dry batch: seal a handful in the bag and it's typically cracker-dry within about 24 hours. 25Canisters 2gSilica gel each 4–5Per ½ oz dried 1–6 moStorage window VentedFood-safe housing Why use silica gel canisters Absorbs moisture Pulls humidity out of...

A refill of the same two desiccants used in our Easy Mushroom Drying Kit, in bigger 6 oz portions. Silica gel pulls moisture out fast at the start, and activated alumina keeps working after the silica gel is full. Blue indicator beads in the silica gel turn pink when it needs recharging, and both desiccants come back to full strength after an hour in the oven. 6 ozSilica gel 6 ozActivated alumina Blue to pinkWhen saturated 250°FRecharge temp ~60 minRecharge time Why two desiccants Fast...

One gallon of Krum Grade AA coarse perlite for holding humidity in a fruiting chamber. Hydrated perlite gives off water slowly and evenly, so a damp layer in the bottom of a shotgun chamber or small tub helps keep the air moist between mistings. It is 100% pure volcanic rock with no plant food or additives, UV sterilized and bagged. The 1 gallon size suits a single chamber, a small setup or a refill. 1 galBag size Grade AACoarse KrumHorticulture UVSterilized No additives100% pure Why growers...

A 4 cubic foot bag of Krum Grade AA coarse perlite, about 30 gallons, for growers running many tubs, chambers or a whole grow room.

The basics for a clean injection in one small pack, so you do not have to buy needles, pads and gloves in bulk. You get five 16G Luer lock needles, ten alcohol prep pads, a pair of nitrile gloves and a face mask, enough for several inoculations of grain bags, jars or other substrates. The needles fit most spore and liquid culture syringes. 516G needles 10Alcohol prep pads 1 pairNitrile gloves 1Face mask Luer lockFitting Why grab a pack All in oneNeedles, pads, gloves and a mask for clean...

USDA Certified Organic, triple-cleaned whole rye berries for making your own grain spawn, in a 40 lb bag. Rye is the classic spawn grain: it hydrates evenly, holds moisture without going mushy when prepared right, and gives mycelium plenty of nutrition for fast, even colonization in jars and bags. 40 lbBag OrganicUSDA certified TripleCleaned WholeDry grain Why growers use rye Even hydrationTakes on water evenly without pooling in the jar or bag.

Triple-cleaned red sorghum (milo) for grain spawn, in a 40 lb bag. Milo's small kernels create more inoculation points than rye, its tough hull holds up through long sterilization cycles, and white mycelium stands out clearly against the red hulls so you can track colonization. 40 lbBag RedMilo TripleCleaned USAGrown Why growers use milo More inoculation pointsSmall kernels spread mycelium from more starting points.

Master's Mix pellets combine the classic 50/50 formula, 50% oak hardwood and 50% soy hull, in a single pellet. There is nothing to weigh, blend or supplement: add water, bag it, sterilize and inoculate. Sold in 40 lb bags or by the 2,000 lb pallet. Because both ingredients are in every pellet, each batch you hydrate comes out at the same ratio, which matters when you are making blocks on a schedule. 40 lbPer bag 50/50Oak / soy hull 2,000 lbPallet option 1 pelletNo mixing SterilizedSubstrate...

Triple-cleaned, dehulled white millet for grain spawn, in a 40 lb bag. Millet's tiny kernels give you far more inoculation points per jar or bag than larger grains, so mycelium spreads quickly and evenly. Colonized millet breaks apart into fine spawn, which makes it a favorite for grain-to-grain transfers and spawning to bulk. 40 lbBag DehulledWhite millet TripleCleaned SmallKernels Why growers use millet More inoculation pointsTiny kernels give mycelium many more places to start.

Our Blue Oyster is a first-generation Pleurotus ostreatus isolate kept in the Myco Labs lab for one reason: it runs hard. It colonizes grain fast enough to outpace most low-level contamination, fruits in dense clusters of blue-gray caps that fade toward pewter, and handles more substrates than almost any gourmet species we culture.

Our Lion's Mane is a first-generation isolate selected in the Myco Labs lab for an aggressive run on grain and large, full fruits with long, dense spines. Hericium erinaceus is a tooth fungus: instead of a cap and gills it forms a white globe of cascading spines, and it's one of the few gourmet species that's both quick to colonize and forgiving to fruit.
