The gourmet mushroom growing process begins with inoculating grain spawn with liquid culture. This step involves injecting a sterilized liquid culture, containing the mushroom mycelium, into prepared grain spawn, which serves as a nutrient-rich substrate for the mycelium to colonize. Once the grain is fully colonized, it is mixed with a bulk substrate, often a hardwood sawdust-based substrate like oak, which provides the necessary nutrients for the mushrooms to thrive. The substrate is then packed into mushroom grow bags, sealed, and incubated in a controlled environment until the mycelium fully colonizes the substrate. After colonization, the bags are moved to a grow room where conditions such as humidity, temperature, and light are carefully controlled to encourage fruiting. The mushrooms begin to form, or “pin,” and within days they grow rapidly, ready for harvesting when they reach the desired size. After harvesting, the process can be repeated with fresh substrates, continuing the cycle of gourmet mushroom cultivation.
