    Hi

    You have posted a picture of the big bags filled up and we can see that there are layers. There is dark and white layers in the bags. Don’t you mix the mycelia with the rest of the ingredients? What is the reason for that and how do you do it?

    Greetings, M.

    Hi – yes we add the mycelium in layers like this when growing in larger bags as we found it speeds up the colonisation time when growing in larger quantities of substrate. You create a really strong mycelial layer that races though the column faster than when the spawn grains are all mixed through.

    It doesn’t seem to make much difference in smaller growing bags holding 4kg or less.

    Thanks for the feedback Adam. I assume putting it in layers is also a reason why you need less Mycelium than before (in the video it is said that you use now 10 % instead of 20 %)?

    Yeah, that was one reason we have been able to drop the spawn rate. It was also due to using better quality, more vigourous spawn than we had been using before, and also adding a higher % of straw to the mix, which also speeds up colonisation time.
    Best wishes, Adam
