Pre-sterilized millet bags are grain bags filled with millet that have undergone a sterilization process. This process eliminates any potential contaminants, bacteria, or fungi, creating a clean and controlled environment for mushroom cultivation. These bags are often used to inoculate with mushroom spores or mycelium, allowing the mycelium to colonise the millet. This provides a nutrient-rich base for mushroom growth. Pre-sterilized millet bags simplify the process of cultivating mushrooms, making it accessible to enthusiasts and professionals by minimizing the need for sterilization procedures.

Optimal Sterility: Each plate undergoes meticulous sterilization, ensuring a completely contamination-free environment for your cultures.
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality plastic,these plates are robust and resistant to cracking or breaking, providing a reliable platform for your experiments.
Clear Surface for Observation: The clear surface of these plates allows for easy visual inspection of your cultures, making them an essential tool for researchers and enthusiasts.
Standardized Medium: PDA agar provides a well-balanced nutritional substrate for a wide range of fungi, allowing for healthy growth and development.
Convenient Size: The plates are sized for easy handling and storage, fitting comfortably in standard incubation environments.
Usage
Usage:
Pre- sterilized millet bags are typically used as a spawn source to inoculate or “seed” another substrate, which serves as the main growing medium for mushroom cultivation. Here’s how it works:
- Spawn Preparation: Once the millet in the pre-sterilized bag are fully colonized by mycelium, they become the “spawn.” This mycelium-rich millet act as a source to kick-start the growth of mushrooms.
- Substrate Mixing: The colonized millet (spawn) are then mixed with another substrate that provides the necessary nutrition and support for the mushrooms to flourish. This substrate can vary depending on the mushroom species and grower’s preferences, but it often includes materials like coir, vermiculite, and other nutrients.
- Substrate Colonization: The mycelium from the colonized millet will gradually spread into the new substrate, colonizing it as well. This process creates an interconnected network of mycelium throughout the substrate.
- Fruiting Conditions: Once the substrate is fully colonized by the mycelium, the bags or containers are moved to a fruiting environment. This environment typically has controlled temperature, humidity, and light conditions that encourage mushroom formation.
- Mushroom Growth and Harvest: Under the proper fruiting conditions, mushrooms will start to grow from the colonized substrate. As the mushrooms mature, they can be harvested for consumption.
So, while pre-sterilized millet bags aren’t the final growing medium, they play a crucial role as the initial mycelium-rich spawn that jumpstarts the mushroom cultivation process in conjunction with a secondary substrate.
