What is Mushroom Spawn?
A quick summary…
For Professional and Hobby Growers our UK Based Spawn Lab Produces: Plug Spawn, Sawdust Spawn, Grain Spawn & Growing Kits
Plug Spawn
For making gourmet mushroom logs…
Shiitake, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Oyster Mushrooms, Enoki, Chicken-of-the-woods, Lion’s Mane – many of our strains are unique and can’t be found anywhere else. Six bag sizes available: 30 – 1500 plugs with discounts for orders of 6000 plugs & above. Plug spawn is supplied with detailed instructions (including illustrations & photographs), which will guide you through the growing process. We offer free advice & support to all our customers.
Oyster Mushroom Kits
We have a growing range of user-friendly Oyster Mushroom kits…
Oyster mushrooms are probably the most adaptive mushroom species out there, and they can be easily grown using a variety of household waste from used coffee grounds to old books, to cardboard. With our Oyster mushroom recycler kits anyone can enjoy growing fresh gourmet mushrooms at home without having to use specialist equipment or without any previous knowledge of gourmet mushroom growing.
Sawdust Spawn
An all-purpose spawn for indoors & outdoors to grow using coffee grounds, woodchip & straw…
We produce in 1kg & 3kg bags which are made-to-order to ensure the mycelium is at the very peak of it’s growth potential. Sawdust Spawn is often called Substrate Spawn, as this is spawn that is used in the final stage of growing to inoculate other wood based materials like logs and woodchip, and also cereal straw and spent coffee grounds.
Mushroom Kits Ready-to-Grow
A new range of seasonal Ready-to-Grow Mushroom Kits. Simply grow beautiful gourmet mushrooms straight from the spawn bag. An easy and productive introduction to indoor gourmet mushroom growing at home.
Our Ready-to-Grow Mushroom Kits are made using the Masters Mix formulation. Masters Mix is recognised throughout the industry as the most productive substrate formula, so your Mushroom Kit is capable of professional size yields.

What Our Customers Say
Without your fantastic spawn and helpful website I personally wouldn’t have been able to grow mushrooms as well as we are now and I am forever grateful for your hard work!
Great products and having success with outdoor Oysters fruiting on woodchip. Came with easy to follow instructions. Customer support second to none. Looking forward to expanding shroom garden with new products when available.
Hi there! The King Oyster grain spawn I got off you is top notch. Way more active than the stuff I made from a spore syringe.
Just a note to say the plugs arrived in great condition, thanks to your excellent packaging! Really impressed….thanks so much, I’ll be a customer for life!
I have bought a number of your products in the past and I’m experimenting with growing media; so far coffee grounds have been very successful.
Hi! I just got my first delivery from you and I’m very happy with the healthy plugs I received. I want to make another order…
Hello, I recently bought a King Stropharia and a King Oyster Liquid Culture from you. I had to write to tell you they are fantastic, the syringes were full of mycelium and they’ve taken unbelievably quick.
The documentation you send (with plug spawn) and your packaging are brilliant: clear, concise, informative and interesting. I hope you are thriving.
