Prices are in quantities of 5 Ready-to-Fruit Blocks of a single species.
All Ready-to-Fruit Blocks are composed of 10 lbs of local Missouri sawdust and agriculture byproducts. Blocks are then sterilized, cooled, and inoculated in our lab with specified species of spawn. Sealed and stacked they are sent off to our colonization/ incubation room at one of our two locations in Missouri, to let their mycelium run. Once ready they are packaged for delivery to your farm or co-op.
Minimum order of 50 Ready-to-Fruit Blocks Required

- Blue Oyster (Pleurotus Ostreatus) MS43: An aggressive blue oyster, with a massive first flush that does not disappoint. Pin sets start out dark gray. As the mushrooms develop they may turn light blue/gray to brown (depending on environment). Colonization/ incubation time required is a minimum of 2 weeks.
- Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) POW: Lion’s mane, Pom Pom, and the bearded hedgehog are just some of the common names associated with this versatile mushroom. The mycelium growth for this fungus tooth mushroom is wispy and faint. These mushrooms do not like to stay wet (which can cause discoloration and soggy mushrooms, although they are still edible). A flavor and texture that has been compared to crab meat (you decide). The many uses: fresh, dried, or in a tincture make it a must for any mushroom cultivator. A minimum 2 week lead time is required.
- Black Pearl (Pleurotus ostreatus hybrid): When you first see this beautiful oyster hybrid you will notice the mycelium start to develop a black dense pin set that expands out into a thick stem similar to King trumpet. Black Pearl has a 3 week colonization/ incubation time.
- Chestnut (Pholiota adiposa): The pin sets of the Chestnut are speckled with an orange to brown color. A definite eye catcher at any market. Chestnuts have a unique nutty flavor and crunch; that is a great addition to any stew or sauce. Chestnuts have a colonization/incubation time of 4 weeks.
- Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) 3790: One of the most widely cultivated shiitake strains. Shiitake strains colonizes bulk substrate in 8 weeks.
Note: Colonization times given DO NOT include the additional 2 weeks needed for spawn. Lead times may be extended at anytime.
