This is a generation 1 grain master mushroom spawn jar used for expansion of isolate mycelium, optimized for spawn run times and bio efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut Grow has isolated this Morchella esculenta culture, the yellow morel, for outdoor bed inoculation and research use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a G1 Grain Master Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use This Jar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRest 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMorel Growing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpawn run\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 to 70F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrain colonization\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 to 6 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFruiting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor prepared beds, spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSubstrates\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor bed with a sclerotia stage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeason\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNote\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor bed cultivation.
