Description
Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor) Grain Master
For sale is a 1-quart jar of Turkey Tail 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 Turkey Tail culture for strong banding and vigorous wood colonization, whether you are running blocks indoors or inoculating logs outside.
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, break, recover, transfer. Turkey Tail is an aggressive wood decay coloniser and expands quickly. It works on sterilized hardwood sawdust blocks indoors and on hardwood logs outdoors.
Turkey Tail Growing Conditions
Turkey Tail colonizes grain in 14 to 21 days at 72 to 86F and fruits at 59 to 72F. It is one of the most vigorous wood decay species there is, which is why it is so common in the wild on dead hardwood. Indoors it produces thin concentric brackets on a sawdust block. Outdoors on logs it will keep producing for years. The concentric colour banding that gives it its name varies with strain and conditions and is part of what makes it worth growing. It is harvested for tea and extract rather than for the plate.
| Spawn run | 72 to 86F |
|---|---|
| Grain colonization | 14 to 21 days |
| Fruiting temperature | 59 to 72F |
| Substrates | Hardwood sawdust with bran, hardwood logs |
| Difficulty | Intermediate |
| Season | Cool to moderate |
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
Too thin and leathery to eat. Dried and simmered for tea or extracted. 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.
