It consists of sterilized grains (such as millet, wheat, or oats) colonized by the mycelium of a specific mushroom species. Thanks to its high surface area and nutrient density, grain spawn provides an ideal environment for rapid mycelial growth and propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eUsing grain spawn requires an intermediate level of knowledge in mushroom cultivation.

Each 1 kg bag of colonized grain can inoculate up to 20 kg of moist substrate, yielding at least 7 kg of fresh shiitake mushrooms within 3-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis shiitake variety thrives in warm weather. Substrate colonization occurs in under one month for indoor bag cultivation, or approximately 9 months when inoculated on outdoor logs. Fruiting occurs at temperatures between 10°C and 30°C. This variety grows well both indoors and outdoors and can withstand Canadian winters and freezing temperatures.
