Product Description

Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate

97% High Purity

Benefits of using Olympus Myco 97% high purity gypsum for mushroom cultivation include:

Improved nutrient availability Enhanced water retention and drainage Enhanced substrate structure Prevents compaction of the substrate Reduced clumping

Olympus Myco Organic Gypsum

Solution Grade

Olympus Myco’s 97% Pure Gypsum offers a range of advantages for mushroom cultivation. This high-purity gypsum provides precise pH adjustment, allowing growers to create an optimal environment for mycelial colonization and successful mushroom growth. It also enhances nutrient availability, promoting robust mycelial development and the formation of healthy fruiting bodies.

Promotes healthy mycelial growth when added to substrate Provides a readily available source of calcium for the mushrooms Helps the substrate retain moisture for longer periods Adds stability and cohesion to the substrate

Enhanced Substrate Structure

Olympus Myco gypsum improves the structure and porosity of the substrate. The higher purity of 97% gypsum ensures that its contribution to substrate structure is optimized. This leads to a more stable and well-aerated substrate, allowing for better mycelial colonization and nutrient uptake. It also facilitates the formation of strong and healthy mushroom fruiting bodies.

Improved Nutrient Availability

Gypsum is a source of calcium, which is an essential nutrient for mushroom growth. The higher purity of Olympus Myco 97% gypsum ensures a more reliable and consistent supply of calcium. This contributes to improved nutrient availability for the mycelium, promoting healthy mycelial growth and robust fruiting body development.

Soil Amendment

Improved Soil Structure

Gypsum helps improve soil structure by reducing soil compaction and improving its workability.

Compacted soils can hinder root growth and water movement

Enhanced Water Infiltration

By incorporating our gypsum into your soil, you improve water infiltration rates, prevent runoff, and promote efficient water usage for healthier plant development.

Soil Remediation

Olympus Myco gypsum helps displace harmful sodium ions, reducing soil sodicity and improving its structure for better crop growth.

Enhanced Nutrient Availability

Gypsum enriches the soil with essential nutrients like calcium and sulfur, enhancing nutrient availability and supporting vigorous plant growth.

Essential for mushroom growth: Gypsum powder is an essential ingredient in creating the ideal substrate for mushroom cultivation for several reasons such as pH adjustment, calcium supplementation, water retention, and allow for better oxygen circulation and mycelium development.
Promotes healthy growth: Our premium-grade gypsum powder provides the necessary pH balance and essential nutrients (calcium and sulfur) for mushrooms to thrive.
Enhances water retention: Gypsum has a unique ability to absorb and retain water, which can help to regulate moisture levels in the substrate.
Reduces clumping: Adding gypsum to the substrate can help to reduce clumping and improve the overall texture of the substrate, which is important for air circulation.
Solution Grade Gypsum: High-purity form of gypsum is an ideal soil amendment that improves soil structure, reduce soil erosion, and supply essential nutrients such as calcium and sulfur to plants and mushrooms. 97% calcium sulfate dihydrate.
