Books
Several books are available on outdoor and indoor cultivation. We no
longer carry a full range of books because they are expensive to keep in
stock and because you can order via Amazon.com. There are many
excellent
wild mushroom identification guides available as well as books about Kombucha and medicinal mushrooms.
We recommend "Kombucha: healthy beverage from the Far East" by Gunther Frank
as well as the Kombucha book by Rosina Fasching. You will find comprehensive
information about Kombucha on the internet --
www.kombucha.com for example.
Custom sterilization
We will custom sterilize bags of your substrate recipe (grain, sawdust etc.).
Minimum order required. Call 416 963 5520 or e-mail office@mycosource.com.
Equipment
Currently we have equipment for spawn plug production
and equipment related to log inoculation.
We have contacts for machinery from Japan for large-scale sawdust block and bottle production.
If this is of interest to you please let us know.
- Kits
Ready to grow kits for home use - check for availability by calling and/or
emailing.
Kombucha
Kombucha culture kits for making your own Kombucha health drink.
- Logs
Inoculated logs for your backyard or cottage. See the picture of
Shiitake below. Please note that we do not provide raw logs for inoculation.
If you are planning to do an inoculation project you must secure your own
logs. Logs should be cut after leaf fall in the autumn and before leaf
bud in the spring; they can 'rest' over the winter laying off the ground on
a skid or other device to keep them off the ground, covered with snow.
Do not leave exposed logs in full sunlight during the winter -- cover with
burlap or a tarp that can 'breathe'.
Medicinal Mushrooms Products
Dried organic Reishi ( Ling zhi).
Small fruit body of Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) growing on
sawdust substrate.
Fresh Mushrooms
We sell fresh mushrooms at several Farmer's Markets
in Toronto.
Please come and visit us there for several Oyster
Mushroom varieties
and Shiitake.
- Spawn
Spawn is the name for the mushroom inoculant which is a culture (of mycelium) grown out
on various media. For log growers we have bulk sawdust spawn and sawdust plug
spawn. For sawdust block growers we have grain or sawdust spawn.
SHIPPING OF SPAWN OUTSIDE CONTINENTAL NORTH AMERICA
POSES SEVERAL PROBLEMS:
- A PHYTO-SANITARY CERTIFICATE FOR SHIPPING LIVE
MUSHROOM SPAWN FROM YOUR AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT WILL MOST LIKELY BE
REQUIRED AND SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE ORDERING, OR YOUR ORDER MAY BE HELD
UP AT CUSTOMS. DELAYS WILL LEAD TO DAMAGED OR DEAD SPAWN.
- SHIPPING CAN ONLY BE DONE BY COURIER AND WILL BE
VERY EXPENSIVE.
WE SUGGEST ORDERING CULTURES THAT YOU CAN PROPAGATE
YOURSELF AS THEY CAN BE MAILED AND WILL PROBABLY NOT BE HELD UP BY
CUSTOMS.
