Growing mushrooms on Coco Coir

One of the best substrates for growing mushrooms is coco coir. Coco coir can be used as a substrate for many different types of mushrooms. Coco coir is a natural fiber derived from coconut husks and is a waste product of coconut production. It is a common material and environmentally friendly substrate that is renewable and sustainable. Coco coir is also pH-balanced, rich in organic matter, and holds moisture well, all of which are important for mushroom growth.

Coco coir is an excellent substrate for indoor mushroom cultivation. It is easy to use and control due to its consistency. Our coco coir is already sterile and hydrated to field capacity. It does not need to be pasteurized. Simply add your grain spawn to the coco coir and you are ready to start growing mushrooms. Coco coir is the most low-maintenance substrate of all!
