Description
Morel Mushroom (Morchella esculenta) Grain Master
For sale is a 1-quart jar of Morel 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 Morchella esculenta culture, the yellow morel, for outdoor bed inoculation and research use.
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 before use. Morel spawn can be expanded into more sterile grain, or worked directly into a prepared outdoor bed. Bed preparation is the whole job with this species, so have your ground ready before the spawn arrives.
Morel Growing Conditions
Morel mushrooms are an advanced species to grow. Cultivation is possible when done correctly in prepared outdoor grow areas, and growers who put the work into bed preparation do succeed with it. The mycelium colonizes grain at 65 to 70F over four to six weeks, then forms sclerotia, the hardened resting bodies that precede fruiting. Outdoor beds built on a sandy loam with hardwood chips and a gypsum amendment give you the best odds, and fruiting typically follows in the spring after establishment. We expect you to be fully informed on the process before purchasing this mushroom spawn. All sales are final on Morel.
| Spawn run | 65 to 70F |
|---|---|
| Grain colonization | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Fruiting | Outdoor prepared beds, spring |
| Substrates | Outdoor bed with a sclerotia stage |
| Difficulty | Advanced |
| Season | Outdoor spring |
| Note | Outdoor bed cultivation. All sales final |
Storage and Shelf Life
Refrigerate at 35 to 40F. Warm to room temperature for a day before transferring. Do not freeze.
In the Kitchen
If you get them, do not eat them raw. Morels must be thoroughly cooked. Halve them, rinse out the grit, and saute in butter.
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.
