Sometimes they don’t work, like the time we tried to get Kav colonised by mycelium (we wanted a mushroom golem for the office and he was the closest person), but sometimes they work amazingly and it turns out popcorn is bang-on (hey hey hey) for mushroom grain spawn! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis was originally a limited-edition test run, but it’s been so successful that it’s now titled Sterile Popcorn Grain and is a main product.

We then soak it for a whole day, before cooking it up for almost an hour. After that, we put it into either a 1kg or 1.5kg Unicorn Bag (up to you), sterilise it for 90 minutes, and the end result is something that is one of the quickest colonising grain bags we’ve seen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePopcorn is stacked full of stuff that your mycelium needs to produce mushrooms, like iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B3. We’ve added the right amount of hydration, and the final piece of the puzzle is the relatively small grain size which gives loads of surface area to make sure everything’s nice and rapid. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ It’s popcorn, it already feels friendly and you know it does\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Relatively small grain size so colonises quickly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Needs to be added to substrate of your choice once fully colonised\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Used to grow all kinds of mushrooms (but only the fun ones if you live somewhere that it’s allowed)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Fully sterilised so no chance of any mishaps if used correctly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Fan of 80’s films?
