Lab produced, Belgian made, top quality, fresh, mycelium strains on sterilized rye grain berries in special sealed mushroom bags.
Once the bag is opened, the spawn must be used and applied to the substrate immediately.
You will receive ready colonized rye grain spawn for inoculation on various fruiting substrates, of your choice.
Your spawn is prepared fresh after ordering to maximize on quality. For this reason it may take between 10 to 14 days to produce.
Ideally the product should be used immediately after delivery, but, keep it stored in the fridge at 4° Celsius for a maximum of two months and it will still be viable - Respect the expiry date on the package.
EDIBILITY
Chestnut mushrooms are edible and delicious, known for their nutty flavor, firm texture, and versatility in cooking, though it's crucial to distinguish the cultivated kind (often cremini/brown button) from wild varieties.
Some similar-looking wild fungi (like Jack-o'-lanterns) can be toxic, so always ensure correct identification, if foraging.
HOW MUCH SPAWN TO BUY
The weight of your mushroom spawn ordered determines its intended use, so:
300g - Used to inoculate a sterilized/pasteurized block of 1.5 Kg
500g - For larger sterilized/pasteurized substrate inoculations of up to 2.5 Kg.

GROWING
For maximum results it is best that this mushroom is grown indoor within a hydroponics grow room/tent, but a clean area or dark corner where there is a decent amount of humidity, air exchange and constant temperatures could also be used.
A humidifier would help to monitor humidity. Do not put in direct sunlight and watch out for gnats.
