Substrate Type: 4 lb Pasteurized Hardwood + Wheat Bran Mix
Sealed in: Unicorn Filter Patch Bag (0.2 micron)
Ideal For: Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Shiitake, Chestnut, Pioppino, Oyster (wood-adapted strains)

What's Inside:

• Finely milled hardwood sawdust (high in lignin & cellulose)

• Organic wheat bran (nitrogen & nutrient boost)

• Pasteurized and hydrated to field capacity

• Sealed in sterile Unicorn bag for clean colonization

How to Use:

1. Keep bag sealed until ready to inoculate.

2. In a clean environment, inject or mix in fully colonized grain spawn (recommended spawn ratio: 1:3 to 1:5).

3. Reseal bag (if cut) and incubate in a dark, room-temp space (65–75°F) until fully colonized (typically 10–21 days depending on species).

4. Once colonized:

• Cut slits for fruiting directly in bag OR

• Remove and place into fruiting chamber with high humidity, fresh air exchange, and indirect light.

Fruiting Conditions (General Guidelines):

• Humidity: 85–95%

• Temperature:

• Lion’s Mane: 60–70°F

• Reishi: 70–80°F

• Shiitake: 55–65°F post-colonization (cold shock optional)

• Light: Indirect light or 12/12 LED cycle

• Fresh Air: 3–5 exchanges/day or consistent passive airflow

Pro Tips:

• Lion’s Mane prefers side-fruiting; cut X-shaped slits on bag sides.

• Shiitake requires 7–10 day rest period after colonization before fruiting.

• Mist walls or use humidity trays rather than over-misting block surface.

Reminders:

• Use sterile or gloved hands when handling colonized substrate.

• Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place.

• Do not freeze.

Notes: Move slow, stay clean, and let the mycelium teach you the pace of nature.
