1 kg pre-sterilised millet grains with self-healing injection port shipped express
It is not recommended to buy this product until you have a colonised agar plate, spore syringe or liquid culture. This product is intended to be inoculated upon arrival.
It's the Millet, not Rye which is a gold standard when it comes to mushroom mycelium growing when making your own grains. Millet Stores well, and it has small kernels. For comparison, one pound of rye has 200 particles, whereas millets have 500. This provides more points of inoculation, making the mycelium spread more evenly and abundantly.
GENERAL INFORMATION
When we make our grains, every step of the process has been carefully thought out to ensure the highest rate of success.
Why buy from us?
100% clean, reputable Millet grains
Soaked for 12h in chlorine-free water
Washed 5 times to ensure throughout the cleaning
5% Gypsum added to avoid clumping
Simmered for10 minutes to soften the grains and make it easy for the mycelium to digest the grains
Cooled down slowly over a period of 5 hours to avoid the autoclave from sucking up contaminated air when equalising the pressure
Pre-sealed bags prior to sterilisation
Autoclave tape used to ensure the sterility process has been effective
Ensured grains have not been sprayed with fungicide. We obtain it from a reputable supplier
Our grains are intact and free of breakages after sterilisation as exposed grains can increase the chances of contamination
Grains prepared at optimum moisture 'field capacity' of around 50-55%
Self-healing injection port included with every bag
Thorough inspection of bags before shipping
Bags are assured 100% contaminant-free due to the sterilization process of 3 hours at 20 psi in a commercial autoclave. Under certain circumstances, there can still be contamination, which could have occurred while the product was being shipped. In an unlikely event that you see contamination in your bag that may be due to shipping, please send us a photo within 2 weeks of receiving the item for a full refund or replacement.
Your bags are made to order, please allow 2 to 3 days of handling time.
Bag Size: 10.16cmX 7.62cmX 45.72cm
Filter Size: 3.81cmX 3.81cm
Brand of bag- Unicorn (4-T)
How to avoid contamination-
Take the bags out of their packaging as soon as possible, and keep them at room temperature away from direct cold/heat source. The bags need to breathe and should not be kept where there is no free airflow. Keeping the bag in a closed environment will result in anaerobic contaminants to thrive and make the bag mouldy.
We recommend that the bags are used as soon as possible to minimize the chances of contamination.
Work in front of a flow hood or a still air box using a completely sterile workspace.
Sanitise the injection port, Flame the needle until red, let it cool, and then inject the bag with 10cc Liquid culture or a completely sterile spore syringe.
Do not let the liquid pool at the bottom of the bag. Rotate the bag to disperse the liquid.
Incubate at 24 degrees Celsius in a dark spot and keep all the grain bags at a distance from each other to avoid excess heat which leads to contamination.
Once inoculated, agitate when 30-50% colonised with clean hands and do not touch the air filter or make the air filter wet.
If the injection site begins to show contamination that means either your Liquid culture or Spore syringe had contamination in it.
Additional tips-
Recommended for inoculating with Liquid culture 10cc, in contrast to a spore syringe, which may be full of bacterial contamination (Spore syringes are best when purified with Agar plates first, please adhere to this).
Use the inoculated grains/fully colonised grains within 14 days to avoid loss of vigor and die back.
Always keep the Grains somewhere dry. If the air filter gets wet, the contaminants can start growing on it.
EASY REFUND POLICY
We offer a refund if you are unsatisfied with the product. Our highest priority is ensuring the most pleasant experience for our customers. Simply send us your pictures regarding any issues with your bags upon arrival and prior inoculation. We will refund or replace you instantly.
