This combination has established itself worldwide as a premium substrate for growing gourmet mushrooms. The reason: the bran supplies nutrients for fast, vigorous mycelium growth, while the sawdust provides a stable structure and keeps moisture even. The result is higher yields and firmer fruiting bodies compared with low-nutrient substrates such as plain straw or CVG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy sterilised and not just pasteurised?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster's Mix contains wheat bran – a nutrient-rich additive that attracts not only mushroom mycelium but also contaminants such as Trichoderma, bacteria and mould. Pasteurisation is not enough for nutrient-rich substrates. That's why we sterilise every batch in the autoclave under controlled conditions: this eliminates all foreign organisms and gives your mycelium a clean head start. The sterile bag with filter patch keeps it that way until you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ingredient has its job\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardwood sawdust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGives the mycelium a stable structure that is easy to colonise and keeps moisture even throughout the block.
