8-Pack ‘Wood Lovr’ Organic Hardwood-Based Sterile Mushroom Substrate

Sale Price $127.99 $224.00
SALE

Our Wood Lovr is a wood chip-based sterile mushroom substrate formulated by mycologists for hardwood-loving species. The combination of micro-to-macro particle sizes of premium North American hardwood chips and sawdust plus nitrogen supplementation helps to speed up growth and maximize yield. Note: Substrate is hydrated to field capacity.

Use your Wood Lovr in monotubs, outdoor beds, or to grow mushrooms from the bag in a humidity-controlled grow room or Martha setup.

We recommended 1 lb of colonized grain spawn for every 5 lbs of Wood Lovr sterile substrate. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.)

How to Use

Spawn to bulk ratio

We recommended mixing 1 colonized grain spawn bag with 2-3 bags of sterile substrate. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.) 

Best Practices

We recommend clean hands, latex or nitrile gloves, and sterile technique when using sterile substrate to reduce the introduction of contaminants.

Be sure to mix colonized grain spawn thoroughly into your substrate. 

It is best practice to wait a minimum of 1 week after arrival before using sterile substrates to ensure they were not compromised during transit. Rest assured that your purchase is 100% guaranteed. If your substrate was compromised, we will replace it.

Storage

Sterile substrates should be stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight. No refrigeration is necessary. They can also be stored for several months before use.

Sterile Substrate FAQs

Choose Boomr Bag for massive flushes of dung-loving species, CVG for versatile bulk grows and great moisture retention (great for beginners), and Wood-Lovr for wood-loving species like oysters, lion’s mane, and reishi. Each is optimized for the best yield and growth rate in its category.

Keep bags at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Substrates can be stored for several months, and grain bags should be used within a few weeks for best results.

We sterilize our products in commercial autoclaves and test every single batch for bacterial growth so you know the product is sterile when you receive it. And if the bag is compromised in any way during shipping, our 100% guarantee means we'll make it right

While you can grow directly in the bag, the best way to grow with bulk substrate is to to use a monotub.

A general rule is 1 colonized grain bag for every 2–3 substrate bags. Higher spawn ratios often speed up colonization and reduce the risk of contamination.

Grain bags are for colonizing mycelium, while sterile substrates (like Boomr Bag, CVG, or Wood-Lovr) are for fruiting mushrooms. You’ll inoculate the grain bag first, then mix the fully colonized grain with your chosen substrate to begin fruiting.
