Multi Grain Matrix (4 lbs)
Four pounds of sterilized grain pre-spawn, ready to inoculate. 50/50 millet and rye berries, sourced from organic Colorado farms. Soaked, simmered, autoclaved at 123°C for 90 minutes, and sealed with a self-healing injection port.
Millet gives you more inoculation points for faster colonization. Rye holds moisture longer and packs more nutrients. The 50/50 blend gets the best of both. Visible mycelium growth within a week of inoculation.
Once fully colonized, mix with HB4 bulk substrate in a monotub to start fruiting. One bag of grain to one bag of HB4.
Ships in Unicorn 10T-injection port, .2 microns filter patch bags. Inject your spores or liquid culture through the port and let it colonize.
What's in the Bag
50/50 blend of millet and rye berries, sourced from Montana and Colorado farms. Soaked overnight, washed, boiled, sterilized in an autoclaved at 123C for 3 hours. Sealed in a Unicorn 10T-Inj. bag with a .2 micron filter patch.
Specs & Process
Weight: 4 lbs per bag. Optimal grain moisture for mycelial growth. Millet provides more inoculation points for faster colonization. Rye holds moisture longer and delivers more nutrients. The 50/50 blend gets the best of both.
How to Inoculate
Wipe the injection port with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Inject 3-5cc of spore solution or liquid culture through the self-healing port. Store in space with the most still air, can be a cabinet or a covered grow bin. Visible growth in 5-10 days. Once 30% colonized, break and shake to spread the mycelium.
Shipping & Guarantee
Ships within 24 hours. Free shipping on orders while we grow or reputation. If your grain arrives contaminated before you inoculate, we replace it at no cost.

Common Questions
Before you buy.
How do I inoculate the grain bag?
Wipe the injection port with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Inject 3-5cc of spore solution or liquid culture through the self-healing port. No need to open the bag. Store at 72-78F in a dark area.
How long until full colonization?
3-6 weeks depending on species, temperature, and culture health. You'll see visible mycelium within 5-10 days of inoculation. Once 30% colonized, break and shake to speed things up.
When should I break and shake?
When you see about 30% of the grain covered in white mycelium. Break up the clumps and shake the bag to redistribute. This spreads mycelium to uncolonized grain and can cut colonization time significantly.
What substrate should I pair this with?
Our HB4 substrate is designed to pair with this grain. One bag of MGM (4 lbs) pairs with one 5lb bag of HB4. Layer it spawn-to-bulk in a monotub at a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio.
Can I use liquid culture instead of spores?
Yes. Liquid culture colonizes faster than spores because the mycelium is already growing. Inject 3-5cc the same way. Many experienced growers prefer LC for speed and consistency.
How do I know if the grain is contaminated?
Healthy mycelium is bright white and rhizomorphic (ropy strands). Watch for green, black, or orange discoloration, sour smells, or wet/slimy spots. If your grain shows contamination before inoculation, contact us for a free replacement.
