Mycosource is a Canadian company specializing in sawdust spawn production for the outdoor hardwood log inoculation of Shiitake, Oyster, and Lion’s Mane mushrooms.
What do we do?
We produce sawdust spawn for grow-your-own cultivators for outdoor log inoculation as well as sawdust kits and grow blocks for indoor growers of all sizes. For cultivators who want to produce their own growing substrates we produce grain spawn, agar plate cultures, liquid syringe inoculants, and autoclave filter patch bags. We offer specialized tools and supplies, give workshops, share information and resources, and offer annual ‘pick-up & demo days’ at Fun Guy Farm located in Southern Ontario.
What is spawn?
Spawn is living mycelium grown on hardwood sawdust. It is produced seasonally on a custom order basis and ships ‘just-in-time’ for the spring outdoor log inoculation season in April-May-June. Spawn, kits and ‘grow blocks’ as well as agar plates and syringes are living products prepared and shipped on a custom order basis from March until December.
We produce sawdust spawn for these wood mushroom species that grow on hardwoods.
