We have bulk rates for commercial customers. Visit our Wholesale page for more information and to apply for an account.
Mycelium is extremely sensitive to temperature changes and transport conditions. Mushroom grain spawn is alive with mushroom mycelium. That’s why we strongly recommend shipping grain spawn via Express Post.
Dispatch
We ship orders Monday to Thursday. We do not dispatch grain spawn on Fridays to avoid it being in transit over weekends due to its heat sensitve nature. Any orders placed on Thursday after 12pm or Friday will be dispatched the following Monday.
Please note this applies to all orders, including Express Post shipments.
