14,70 €
XLS mushroom cultivation bag with 0.5 µm filter – autoclavable, for up to 5 kg of substrate • Extra-Large size • Fine 0.5 µm microfilter • For large substrate blocks & larger batches
The XLS filter bag – when standard sizes are not enough
Our XLS mushroom cultivation bag (Extra-Large size) is made for growers working with larger quantities of substrate. With a capacity of up to 5 kg of substrate, it is suitable for large fruiting blocks, extensive grain spawn batches, or larger amounts of substrate. The fine 0.5 µm microfilter offers high protection against contamination – significantly finer than many standard bags on the market.
0.5 µm filter – what does this mean for mushroom cultivation?
The microfilter is the crucial element of every mushroom cultivation bag. It allows for the necessary gas exchange (Fresh Air Exchange/FAE) that the mycelium needs to grow, while keeping out mold spores and most airborne contaminants. A fine 0.5 µm filter significantly reduces the risk of contamination, especially during longer colonization periods with large amounts of substrate.
Typical applications
- Large substrate blocks (3–5 kg) made from Master's Mix, sawdust-bran, or straw.
- Larger grain spawn batches for further processing into several fruiting containers.
- All-in-one bags with a large layer volume.
- Professional mushroom farms and small-batch production.
Autoclavable – sterilize substrate directly in the bag
p>The bag is heat-resistant and designed for sterilization in an autoclave at 121 °C / 15 PSI. Fill with substrate, seal the bag (an impulse sealer is recommended), and sterilize. After cooling completely, inoculate under the cleanest possible conditions. This saves work steps and reduces the risk of contamination because the substrate does not need to be transferred. Please note the safety instructions for autoclaving (see below).

Safety information
Usage and safety instructions – Autoclaving / Pressure
The bags are intended for sterilization in an autoclave/pressure cooker at 121 °C / 15 PSI. High temperatures and overpressure are generated:
• Only use pressure-tested, intact equipment and observe the manufacturer's instructions for your autoclave/pressure cooker.
• Do not overfill the bags and DO NOT seal them completely airtight/gas-tight in the autoclave – otherwise, there is a risk of bursting.
• After sterilization, they are hot and pressurized: allow the device to cool down completely and depressurize before opening (risk of scalding from hot steam).
• Keep bags sterile until inoculation.
• Thin plastic bag: keep away from children, risk of suffocation.
Right of withdrawal Sealed goods for hygiene reasons: The right of withdrawal expires once the seal has been removed or the injection port has been opened (Section 312g (2) No. 3 of the German Civil Code (BGB)). Details can be found in Section 6 of the General Terms and Conditions.
