Description
Enoki Mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) Grain Master
For sale is a 1-quart jar of Enoki 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 Enoki culture for the pale long-stemmed market form rather than the squat brown wild type.
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 the jar, break the grain apart, and let it recover. Enoki spawn expands readily into more grain, or goes into sterilized supplemented hardwood sawdust in bottles or jars for top fruiting.
Enoki Growing Conditions
Enoki mushrooms are easy to grow if you follow the specs. They require a cold shock process to help initiate fruiting, holding at 45 to 55F once the substrate is fully colonized. Grain colonizes in 14 to 25 days at 68 to 77F. For the pale long stemmed market form, fit a collar around the growing surface to raise carbon dioxide and draw the stems upward. Grown without a collar you get the wild type: shorter, brown capped, and considerably more flavourful. Please make sure you have done your homework prior to growing this delightful culinary mushroom.
| Spawn run | 68 to 77F |
|---|---|
| Grain colonization | 14 to 25 days |
| Fruiting temperature | 45 to 55F |
| Substrates | Supplemented hardwood sawdust, bottle or jar top fruiting |
| Difficulty | Intermediate |
| Season | Cold |
| Note | Cold shock required to initiate fruiting. Collar for the long stemmed market form |
Storage and Shelf Life
Refrigerate at 35 to 40F. Warm to room temperature for a day before transferring. Do not freeze.
In the Kitchen
Mild and crisp with a clean snap. Classic in hot pot and soup, added at the very end. The wild brown form has considerably more flavour than the pale cultivated one.
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.
