Method and apparatus for the production of spawn

摘要

A method and equipment to implement said method for the production of microbes on a solid or liquid substrate, particularly mushroom mycelium growing on a grain substrate, the latter known as "mushroom spawn", are provided wherein the spawn is grown in a transparent, heat sterilizable plastic bag with a temporary screw-on closure thereon. The finished spawn is prepared for market merely by removing the reusable temporary closure and closing the top of the plastic bag container.
