Grain spawn
Fully hydrated milo grain, pressure-sterilized and sealed in a 0.2 µm filter-patch bag with a self-healing injection port. Inoculate the moment it lands.


One 3 lb grain spawn bag and one 5 lb CV Prime bag, matched for a single grow. No autoclave, no guesswork.
Your Grow Dashboard tracks every stage and reminds you when to air and mist.
The single kit is one 3 lb bag of sterilized milo grain spawn and one 5 lb bag of CV Prime substrate, matched for one grow. The double kit is twice that, 6 lb of grain spawn and 10 lb of CV Prime, at a lower price per pound.
It is a grain and substrate kit, sometimes called a spawn to bulk kit: everything for the bulk stage, matched by weight so you are not left with half a bag of either. Both bags arrive ready: the grain is pressure-sterilized in a filter-patch bag with a self-healing injection port, and CV Prime is pasteurized coco coir and vermiculite at field capacity. You add live mycelium of the gourmet species you want to grow.
| Included | Not included |
|---|---|
| 3 lb (single) or 6 lb (double) of sterilized milo grain spawn | Live mycelium of your chosen species (you add it) |
| 5 lb (single) or 10 lb (double) of CV Prime substrate | A fruiting spot with fresh air and humidity |
| Filter patches and a self-healing injection port | A pressure cooker (you will not need one) |
Wondering how this compares with an all-in-one bag or a ready-to-fruit block? See grow kit vs all-in-one bag.
| Stage | Typical time | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Colonize the grain | 2 to 4 weeks | 21 to 24°C (70 to 75°F), dark |
| Spawn to bulk and colonize | 10 to 14 days | 21 to 24°C (70 to 75°F), closed bag |
| First harvest (oysters) | About 5 to 10 days after fruiting starts | Fresh air, 85 to 95% humidity, indirect light |
| Second flush | 1 to 2 weeks after resting and rehydrating | As above |
Every stage is covered in detail in how to grow oyster mushrooms on CV substrate, and how to get a second flush helps you get more from the same bag.
