How to Use 1.5kg Rye Grain for Monotub Mushroom Growing

Follow these simple steps to grow mushrooms with rye grain using the monotub method:

Step 1: Ready the Rye Grain Bag

  • Open the protective outer bag so you can find the injection port. Wipe this port with the included alcohol swab.

Step 2: Inoculate with Spores or Liquid Culture

  • Use a spore syringe or liquid culture to inoculate the grain.
  • The place the freshly inoculated bags in a warm, dark environment (24-27°C) for colonization.
  • A Growbuddie40 mushroom incubator works great for this job.

Step 3: Colonization

  • Within a few days to weeks, depending on the mushroom strain, you’ll notice mycelium spreading throughout the rye grain.
  • Wait until the substrate is fully colonized, turning completely white with mycelium.

Step 4: Transfer to a Monotub

  • Mix the fully colonized rye grain with a bulk substrate, such as coco coir, using the recommended monotub substrate ratio: 1.5kg of colonized rye grain to 3kg of hydrated coco coir.
  • Spread the mixture evenly across your monotub and add a thin casing layer of coco coir or vermiculite for humidity control.

Step 5: Fruiting

  • Maintain high humidity (80-90%) and consistent temperatures (24-27°C) in the monotub.
  • Provide indirect light for 12 hours daily to encourage mushroom pinning and fruiting.

Step 6: Harvesting and Second Flush

  • Harvest your mushrooms when they reach maturity, and rehydrate the substrate to encourage additional flushes.
