Description
Cordyceps Mushroom (Cordyceps militaris) Grain Master
For sale is a 1-quart jar of Cordyceps Mushroom Spawn. This is a generation 1 grain master mushroom spawn jar used for expansion of isolate mycelium, optimized for spawn run times and bio efficiency.
Out Grow has isolated this Cordyceps militaris culture for strong stromata formation and the deep orange colour the species is known for.
What a G1 Grain Master Is
A grain master is a jar of fully colonized grain made to be transferred, not consumed. Generation 1 means the mycelium in this jar came directly from one of our agar plates rather than from another bag of grain, so it sits one step from the culture library instead of three or four. That matters because every transfer is another opportunity for contamination to ride along, and because a G1 jar still has the full expansion runway ahead of it. One quart can seed several more quarts of sterile grain, and those can seed your bulk substrate.
How to Use This Jar
Rest and inspect, then transfer. Cordyceps does not follow the standard spawn to bulk workflow at all. It is grown on supplemented brown rice with a nutrient broth, in jars or containers, under a light cycle. Do not spawn this to straw, wood chips, or Master's Mix.
Cordyceps Growing Conditions
Cordyceps militaris follows its own workflow rather than the standard spawn to bulk route. It is grown on supplemented brown rice with a nutrient broth, in jars or containers, under a light cycle. Colonization runs 9 to 14 days at 64 to 72F in the dark, then a 12 hour photoperiod triggers stromata formation, with harvest around 50 to 65 days. Growth slows sharply above 86F. This grain jar is the starter for that process. Wood, straw and Master's Mix are not compatible substrates for this species.
| Spawn run | 64 to 72F, dark |
|---|---|
| Grain colonization | 9 to 14 days |
| Fruiting | 64 to 72F under a 12 hour photoperiod |
| Substrates | Supplemented brown rice with nutrient broth |
| Difficulty | Advanced |
| Time to harvest | 50 to 65 days |
| Note | Not a bulk spawning species. Rice jar workflow only |
Storage and Shelf Life
Refrigerate at 35 to 40F. Warm to room temperature for a day before transferring. Do not freeze.
How It Is Used
The orange stromata are dried and used for tea or extract rather than eaten fresh. We make no health claims about it.
Guarantee and Live Shipping
Every jar is inspected before it leaves our lab and guaranteed to arrive alive and contamination free. If it does not, photograph the jar sealed and unopened and contact us within 48 hours of delivery for a replacement or refund. Live spawn is temperature sensitive, so we hold shipments during extreme heat and cold rather than sending something that will not survive the trip.
