Super Moon Substrate Mix

$30.00

This is a 5lb bag. It contains coco coir, vermiculite, manure blend
and a proprietary hydrating supplement. It’s a substrate mix that is
used with monotubs (allows you to grow a field of mushrooms in a
container). This bag is the hydrating and essential fruiting medium
to grow mushrooms. (If you try to grow mushrooms on only grain
it will produce very few if any) the Super Moon substrate gives the
complete nutrients and hydration they need to produce large
crops.

Introducing Our Distinctive Mushroom Substrate

Our specialized substrate blend is meticulously crafted to unlock maximum yield potential and foster optimal mushroom development. Enriched with coco coir, vermiculite, horse manure, cow manure, and an exclusive nutritional supplement, our substrate nurtures vigorous rhizomorphic growth, resulting in abundant harvests.


Understanding the Essence of Mushroom Substrate


Mushroom substrate forms the backbone of successful mushroom cultivation, providing the essential nutrients and environment conducive to mycelium growth and fruiting. Within the realm of substrates, a diverse array of options exists, each offering unique attributes and advantages.


What can I use for mushroom substrate?

Among the most prevalent substrates, coco coir and vermiculite emerge as prominent choices. Despite lacking inherent nutrient content, they excel in moisture retention, laying a fertile groundwork for mycelial proliferation.

Do you have to sterilize mushroom substrate? Sterilizing Substrate for Seamless Growth

Sterilization stands as a critical precursor to mushroom cultivation, purging competing microorganisms and creating an aseptic environment conducive to mycelial colonization. Employing a pressure cooker is a widely endorsed method for sterilizing substrate effectively, with immediate bag sealing post-sterilization ensuring sustained sterility until inoculation.

Our substrate undergoes meticulous sterilization, subjected to a minimum of 3 hours of pressurization at 19 psi. This stringent process eradicates contaminants comprehensively, laying the groundwork for robust mycelial colonization and prolific fruiting.


In essence, selecting the right substrate and executing proper sterilization procedures are pivotal in realizing successful mushroom cultivation endeavors. Armed with our meticulously formulated substrate, cultivators embark on their mushroom-growing odyssey with unwavering confidence, backed by premium-quality ingredients and proven cultivation methodologies.

Are coffee grounds a good mushroom substrate?

While coffee grounds hold promise as a potential substrate owing to their organic composition, their inconsistent nutrient profile and susceptibility to contamination pose notable challenges. Nonetheless, some cultivators have achieved success by integrating coffee grounds into their substrate concoctions through careful experimentation.

How to make cheap mushroom substate


For aspiring cultivators venturing into DIY mushroom cultivation, crafting a custom substrate blend heralds a gratifying journey. Thoroughly mixing coco coir, vermiculite, and manure while adjusting moisture levels to achieve field capacity sets the stage for a flourishing mushroom cultivation endeavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is typically due to lack of air flow and is referred to as a stall out. There is a quick fix. Just place the bag in front of a fan for a couple days and it will re-stimulate the mycelium.

The mycelium growth that occurs for manure loving and most gourmet mushrooms is white. If you see a blue-green color. That is a common contaminate called Trichoderma. You can wait and see if the mycelium from your manure loving mushroom can fight off the contamination, but if the majority of the bag turn blue-green the bag needs to be thrown out. If you see black mold of any type you must throw out the bag immediately.

When harvesting mushrooms there are 2 factors to consider. Does the mushroom drop spores or not? If a mushroom drops spores most people like to harvest the mushroom right before the vail breaks releasing the spores onto the block. If you aren't concerned about spore drop, allow mushroom caps to expand out to 90%. There is no need to wash off the block if spores drop on it since it will soak in water for 24-48 hours between flushes. For mushrooms who don't drop spores, allow them to get to 100% maturity or desired cap look.

  • A spray bottle of 70% or 91% isopropyl alcohol or alcohol wipe.
  • Spore syringe or liquid culture.
  • A roll of paper towels.
  • Latex or nitrile exam gloves
  • Lighter or butane torch

Yes it can! Our customer average 4 flushes per bag. Our bags are formulated for multiple flushes providing a great value and experience.

Almost any manure loving mushroom species will produce fruit bodies due to our proprietary blend.

We recommend a minimum of 4-6 ccs of spore syringe or liquid culture. Larger amounts of up to 20ccs increase colonization speed.
