Zanaravo.com - mushroom spawn and kits for mushroom cultivation
Although mushroom cultivation as a hobby is gaining on its popularity, we decided to offer you glass jars filled with sterilized grains covered with a lid that makes injection of spores into jars as easy as possible.
The jars make mycelium cultivation easy also for beginners not having access to special equipment usually needed for commercial fungal spawn production. Substrate contained inside jars is appropriate for spawn production of commonly cultivated mushrooms.
Jars contain approximately 0.5 liter of sterilized grains and minerals with 50% moisture content (Picture 2.). They are covered with a lid that allows passage of gases, but enables entering of contaminants (Picture 3.). Cover made of artificial fibers ensures that surface of the jar underneath remains sterile at all times (Picture 1.).

HOW TO USE IT
All you need to do is inject fungal spores into the jar trough specially designated hole and reseal it. The most appropriate is the use of syringes with fungal spore inside sterile water but also other types of inoculum can be used. All the work must be done in a sterile environment (near alcohol burner for instance).
At room temperature mycelium completely overgrows the substrate in a few weeks (Picture 4.). After incubation spawn is further used for inoculation of end substrates.
- straw (oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.), king stropharia (Stropharia rugosoannulata), black poplar mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita));
- wood chips and sawdust (oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.), king stropharia (Stropharia rugosoannulata));
- logs and stumps (shiitake (Lentinula edodes), oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.), reishi (Ganoderma sp.), hen of the woods (Grifola frondosa), lion’s mane (Hericium sp.), black poplar mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita), winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes);
- compost (Agaricus sp.), shaggy mane (Coprinus sp.);
- mixtures of sawdust and supplements (shiitake (Lentinula edodes), oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.), reishi (Ganoderma sp.), hen of the woods (Grifola frondosa), lion’s mane (Hericium sp.), black poplar mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita), winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes).
If you want to cultivate Agaricus and species that need casing soil, the soil must be applied to the surface of completely overgrown grains.
