Spawn is pure mushroom tissue grown on a prepared material that is used for the production of quality mushrooms. Our specialty sawdust spawn is crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood sawdust and pure tissue culture from select strains. We offer a wide variety of commercially viable strains, with over 40 cultures maintained in our culture bank to meet your cultivation needs. Sawdust spawn is the preferred spawn to use for specialty mushrooms grown on sterilized sawdust and on logs, as the mycelium has already been introduced to the material in which it will fruit. Every batch of spawn is thoroughly inspected and tested at our commercial farm in Moss Landing, CA, where we grow over 18,000lbs of fresh mushrooms each week.
(One unit starts as a 5lb bag of spawn)
One bag of spawn can inoculate up to 300lbs of material

Hi David,
Wow! That is amazing! We're really loving what you did with your pots and growing mushrooms out of the ports. What a creative and really fun concept. If it's ok with you, would you mind if we posted this on our Instagram? We would love to tag you on the post to give credit where credit is due.
Thank you so much for sharing these photos on your review.
This was my first time growing mushrooms. I used master mix as substrate and used Blue Oyster grain spawn. I'm very happy with the first flush, as it produced about a pound of delicious mushrooms. I would definitely order from Far West Fungai again.
Wonderful!!! using aspen shavings (commercial rabbit bedding) for the substrate. The 5 gallon buckets have become fully colonized. Hopefully can achieve fruiting before the weather turns hot. great product
used this to seed two 5 gallon buckets of blue oyster. the mycelium is colonizing well after about two weeks, the grain spawn had zero contamination and I still have some left for another bucket or two.
The wine cap mushroom spawn is well packaged. This was my second time buying some from this website. I was so happy with the mushrooms from my first patch that I decided I absolutely had to have more, and I wasn't patient enough to create my own mushroom spawn, so I bought more bags! (Grin.)
I've only just planted them, so I can't give an assessment yet. I'll provide an update after I see some results. The mycelium I received looked good and had a pleasant mushroomy smell.
Got some spawn last year and inoculated at a school garden I work at! We’ve been enjoying more mushrooms than I ever imagined! I’m excited to involve students in the inoculation this year!
