Ready-to-Inoculate Professional Mushroom Grain Spawn 1 kg Sterilized Sorghum Grain Spawn with Self-Healing Injection Port (SHIP) and 0.2 µm Filter Patch

Our 1 kg Sterilized Sorghum Grain Spawn is engineered for reliable, contamination-resistant mushroom cultivation. Each bag contains premium red sorghum (Milo), optimally hydrated to 45% moisture content using our unique Steep-Not-Cook process.

Unlike traditional boiled grain, the Steep-Not-Cook method minimizes burst grains and produces clean, free-flowing spawn that is easy to break up and colonize.

The integrated Self-Healing Injection Port (SHIP) allows quick, sterile inoculation using Bundu Castellani Living Inoculant (LI) or conventional Liquid Culture (LC), making it the ideal companion to our Mushroom Spawn Kits.


🛡️ The STS Sterility Standard

Every bag is produced to our Sustainability Testing Station (STS) quality standard.

  • Integrated SHIP – Sterile syringe inoculation without opening the bag.
  • Professional Pressure Sterilization – Sterilized at 120 kPa (17.5 PSI) for 90 minutes to achieve complete thermal penetration.
  • Autoclave Indicator Tape – Every bag includes Type 1 indicator tape, providing visible confirmation that the sterilization cycle was completed.
  • 0.2 µm PTFE Filter Patch – High-efficiency sterile gas exchange while preventing airborne contaminants.
  • High-Integrity Seal – Self-sealed during cooling and permanently heat-sealed before quarantine.
  • 7-Day STS Quarantine – Every production batch is incubated for seven days before dispatch to verify sterility.

How to Use

Using Bundu Castellani™ Living Inoculant (Recommended)

  1. Wipe the SHIP injection port with 70% alcohol (both bag and LI).

  2. Using a sterile syringe, inject 5 ml of Living Inoculant through the SHIP.

  3. Gently massage the injection area to distribute the inoculant.

  4. Incubate at the recommended temperature for your mushroom species.

  5. Once 30–40% colonized, gently shake the bag to distribute the mycelium.

  6. Allow the grain to become fully colonized before transferring to pasteurized bulk substrate.

Using Liquid Culture

The same procedure applies when using conventional Liquid Culture (LC).

Using Agar

Open one top corner of the bag inside a Still Air Box or laminar flow cabinet, insert 3–4 agar wedges, reseal immediately, and incubate.

Storage

If not inoculated immediately, store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best performance, use within 30 days of manufacture.
