MUSHROOM SUBSTRATES
Give your shroomies a nutritious place to thrive.
Mushroom substrate is a material used to provide nourishment and a suitable environment for growing mushrooms. It serves as the medium on which mushrooms feed and grow. Common substrates include materials like straw, sawdust, wood chips, and agricultural byproducts. GroHaus offers a variety of substrates that have been properly prepared through processes such as pasteurization or sterilization to eliminate competing organisms. Once prepared, mushroom spores or mycelium are introduced into the substrate, and under ideal conditions of temperature, humidity, and light, they colonize the substrate and eventually produce mushrooms.

Substrate refers to the material or medium on which mushroom mycelium grows and produces mushrooms. It serves as the foundation for mushroom cultivation, providing nutrients, moisture, and structural support for fungal growth. Common substrates include sawdust, straw, compost, and various agricultural byproducts like coffee grounds or corn cobs. Depending on the mushroom species and cultivation method, substrates may be supplemented with additional nutrients or additives to optimize mushroom yields and quality. Choosing the right substrate is crucial for successful mushroom cultivation, as it directly influences the growth and development of mushrooms.
