Product Description
Mushroom Substrate & Monotub Casing Layer
Premium Coco Coir for Mushroom Growers
Coco coir is a non-sterile substrate that provides many benefits to the mushroom cultivation process. In addition to moisture retention, the porous structure of coir material enables excellent gas exchange, water supply, and is highly resistant to contaminants. It is primarily used as a casing layer in monotubs or as a substrate additive.
How to Use
Coco coir should only be added to fully-colonized substrate covered in mycelium with pins beginning to form. Only a thin layer of coco coir (1/4 to 1/2 inch) is necessary.
How to Pasteurize
Should you choose to pasteurize, we recommend steam pasteurization or a water bath at 180 degrees for 1-2 hours. Once pasteurized, squeeze out excess water and allow to dry.
How to Store
Coco coir is best stored in a cool, dry place. Because it can easily absorb moisture, we recommend storing in food-grade, air tight containers.
Best Practices
We always recommend sterile technique, clean hands, and latex or nitrile gloves to reduce the introduction of contaminants.
