Grain and substrate in one sterilised bag

An all-in-one grow bag layers sterilised, nutrient-enhanced grain under a bed of sterilised substrate, in one filter-patch bag with a self-healing injection port. You inoculate the grain layer through the port, wait for it to colonise, then knead the colonised grain through the substrate without ever opening the bag. When the whole bag is white you cut it open and fruit from it. It is the simplest route from a culture syringe to a harvest, and the one we recommend to first-time growers.

On this page: All-in-One Grow Bag from $40 (1kg, 2kg). Orders ship Australia-wide, tracked, from $15. See delivery.

How an all-in-one grow works

  1. Inoculate

    Wipe the port with 70% alcohol, flame the needle and inject 2 to 5 ml of liquid culture into the grain layer at the bottom of the bag.

  2. Colonise the grain

    Keep the bag at 20 to 26°C in the dark. When the grain is mostly white (one to three weeks depending on species), gently break it up through the bag.

  3. Mix

    Massage the colonised grain through the substrate layer, flatten the bag and let it run again. The substrate goes white over the next one to three weeks.

  4. Fruit

    Cut the bag open or cut a window, add humidity and fresh air, and harvest when the caps say so. Full instructions in the all-in-one guide.

Pick a grain, pick a size

Oats, wheat and corn are all good in an all-in-one. Oats break up with the least effort, which makes the mixing step easier through a sealed bag. Choose the 1kg bag for a first grow or a windowsill; the 2kg bag for a bigger flush and a second one after it.

Questions

Good to know

What is an all-in-one grow bag?

A single sterilised bag containing a layer of grain and a layer of substrate, with a filter patch and an injection port. You inoculate the grain, let it colonise, mix it through the substrate inside the bag and fruit from the same bag.

Do I need a culture to use it?

Yes. The bag is sterile and contains no mycelium; you add a liquid culture of the species you want to grow through the injection port. Our gourmet and medicinal cultures are coming soon, and any clean gourmet liquid culture works.

How long from injection to mushrooms?

Roughly 4 to 8 weeks for oyster mushrooms: one to two weeks for the grain, one to three weeks for the substrate after mixing, then a week or so from pins to harvest. Slower species take longer.

Can I get more than one flush from a bag?

Usually two, sometimes three. After the first harvest, let the block rest, rehydrate it with a soak if it feels light, and return it to fruiting conditions.

Is an all-in-one better than grain plus substrate?

It is easier and needs no clean mixing step. Buying grain and substrate separately gives you more control over the ratio and lets you grow more from one spawn bag, which is better value at scale.
