Product Specific FAQs

5 LB CV Substrate FAQs

All Product FAQs

Preparation

  • Store the CV Substrate in a cool, dry place until ready for use. Ensure you have colonized grain spawn ready for mixing.
  • Prepare a clean, smooth work area and sterilize all work surfaces with isopropyl alcohol.
  • A clean environment is necessary, but the chances of contamination at the stage of using CV substrate are usually much lower than other stages of mushroom cultivation (e.g., inoculation).

Mixing: 

  • Wear nitrile or vinyl gloves and spray them with isopropyl alcohol.
  • Mix the colonized grain spawn thoroughly with the CV Substrate in a clean, sterile container.
  • Ensure an even distribution of spawn throughout the substrate. An even mix can be made, or layering of grain and substrate can be appropriate as well, depending on preference.

Inoculation

Per the Preparations Instructions Above

Incubation

  • Place the container in a dark, warm area with a temperature range of 75-80°F (24-27°C).
  • Maintain a humidity level of 90% for optimal colonization.
  • Allow the substrate to incubate for 2-4 weeks or until fully colonized with mycelium.

Fruiting

  • Move the substrate and grain mix into a fruiting chamber and to an area with indirect light.
  • Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) and a high humidity level of 85-95% inside the container.
  • Ensure fresh air exchange by slightly opening the chamber, using non-gasketed lids, or cutting slits in the container and covering with micropore tape.
