    Mushroom Casing (Substrate) is a moisture retaining layer to spread on the top and bottom of your mushroom substrate. This method is generally referred to as the "Bulk" method, Monotub or Monotek; this is alternative way to fruit your spawn bags or jars. We provide easy to follow instructions on how to use and create your bulk grow. You must use this product with fully colonized spawn bags, Jars or similar.

    To take full advantage of this casing mix, the shelf life of this casing mix is shorter than our traditional casing mix. We recommend storing at room temperature for up to 30 days for best results.

    Start by using the following substrate amounts:

    • 1 to 1.5 spawn bag per 1 bag of casing mix (using our 5grain or Rye spawn bags)
    • 3 of our 24 oz Quick-Colonizing 5-grain Jars (Pint and half size) per 5 pound bag of casing mix
    • 6 half pint substrate jars per 5 pound bag of casing mix

    Perfect for grain or dung loving mushrooms!

    Have been ordering from Midwest for years now and they never cease to amaze me. Ordered a casing and noticed a very small hole in the box and bag that casing came in (probably a shipping error) within 48 hours I had a brand new one on my front porch no questions asked! Forever customer!
