Sterile Sorghum (Milo) Spawn Bag

Discover the superior cultivation experience with our Sterile Sorghum Spawn Bag, specifically engineered for dedicated mushroom growers seeking optimal results with slower-growing species like Psilocybe cubensis and other demanding varieties. This premium spawn bag represents the pinnacle of European laboratory standards, utilizing high-quality biological sorghum grain that has been carefully selected and sterilized under controlled conditions.

Why Professional Cultivators Choose Sorghum Over Corn and Millet

Sorghum stands out as the ideal substrate for slower-growing mushroom species due to its unique nutritional profile and colonization characteristics. Unlike our faster-colonizing corn spawn bags, sorghum provides a more balanced nutrient release that perfectly matches the growth rate of cubensis and similar species. While millet offers numerous inoculation points due to its small size, sorghum strikes the perfect balance with optimal moisture retention and efficient mycelial colonization that prevents stalling in longer cultivation cycles.

The grain’s high starch content provides sustained energy for mycelium development, while its rich protein content supplies essential building blocks for healthy tissue formation. Sorghum’s superior moisture retention properties ensure consistent hydration throughout extended colonization periods, making it particularly suited for species that require 3-4 weeks or longer to fully establish.

Inoculation Instructions for the Sorghum Spawn Bag

1. Preparation: Work in a sterile environment with sanitized gloves. Gently expand the bag gussets to allow proper gas exchange through the microporous filter.
2. Sterilization: Clean the black injection port with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Flame-sterilize your needle for 15 seconds, then cool by expelling a small amount of solution.
3. Inoculation: Inject 1.5-3cc of spore solution or liquid culture through the self-healing port, distributing across multiple injection sites within the bag.
4. Incubation: Store at 75-81°F (24-27°C) in a stable environment. Critical timing: shake the bag when mycelium reaches 30% colonization to accelerate the final colonization phase.
5. Bulk Preparation: Once fully colonized (typically 3-5 weeks), break up the spawn and mix with your preferred bulk substrate for fruiting.

Quality Assurance:
Each bag undergoes rigorous quality control in our European production facility, ensuring optimal moisture content, sterility, and grain integrity. The biological sorghum is sourced from certified European growers, providing consistent quality and supporting sustainable agriculture practices.
