5 Lb. Rye Grain Bag – Organic Rye

Superior Organic Rye Grain:

Introducing our 5 lb. rye grain bag, packed with the cream of the crop in organic rye grains. This provides an outstanding foundation for mushrooms, earning rye grain a special place in the hearts of mushroom cultivators.

Recommended Use:

These large 5 pound bags are highly recommended for liquid cultures or large grain-to-grain transfers. Due to their unpredictability, we suggest injecting spore syringes into smaller quantities of grain to avoid waste (and save time and frustration.)

Exceptional for Manure Loving Fungi: 

Rye grain stands out as a premium substrate, specifically for varieties of mushrooms that flourish in dung-rich conditions. Here are some reasons why:

Nutritional Wealth:

Rye grain brings a rich blend of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential vitamins, emulating the nutrient-rich environment that manure-loving mushrooms favor in the wild. It provides a wealth of necessary nutrients, ensuring thriving mushroom growth.

Accelerated Mycelial Development:

The consistent size of rye grains promotes quick colonization of mycelium. Rapid colonization is crucial for coprophilous varieties to secure their spot before other organisms in their natural environment.

Optimal Moisture Content:

Rye grain has an extraordinary ability to retain the perfect amount of moisture. Proper moisture is critical; a dry substrate will impede mycelium development, and excess moisture can lead to contamination. Rye grain maintains an ideal balance, establishing a conducive growth environment.

Smooth Integration to Tubs and Bulk Grows:

Fully colonized rye grain mixes seamlessly withbbulk substrates like CVG. This process replicates the natural growing conditions of dung-loving mushrooms, offering them more room to grow and flourish.

Ideal for Everyone:

Whether you are new or experienced in mycology, our rye grain bags cater to all proficiency levels. We also include clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process!

Our Method:

We soak our top-tier organic rye berries in a gypsum solution for 24 hours. Subsequently, we transfer these grains to premium Unicorn Bags. We fill every bag with 5 pounds of optimally hydrated rye grain. Each medium rye grain bag is equipped with a self-healing injection port (SHIP) and a 0.2 micron filter patch. To guarantee pristine, uncontaminated grain, bags are pressure-cooked at 17 PSI for 2.5 hours. We wrap up the process by sealing each bag under a laminar flow hood.
