Wholesale Mushroom Spawn FAQs
What are the best mushrooms to sell for profit?
Oyster mushrooms are usually the most profitable when resold. They grow quickly, don’t need fancy equipment, and there’s always demand from restaurants, markets, and home cooks. Shiitake and Lion's Mane can also do well if you’re aiming at the gourmet end of the market, but Oyster mushrooms are the easiest way to get started.
What is the ratio of spawn to bulk for mushrooms?
A common ratio is about 1 part spawn to 4 parts substrate. That’s enough to give the mycelium a strong start without using more spawn than you need. Some growers go heavier to speed things up and reduce the risk of contamination, but 1:4 is a good balance for most setups.
Can I buy mycelium?
Yes. When you buy mushroom spawn, you’re buying live mycelium that’s ready to colonise your chosen substrate. It comes in different forms – grain, sawdust, or plugs – depending on how you want to grow.
Why buy wholesale mushroom spawn?
Buying wholesale mushroom spawn makes sense if you’re producing at scale. It helps keep costs down, ensures a reliable supply of high-quality spawn, and allows you to plan your grows with confidence.
At Urban Farm-It, our wholesale spawn is lab-grown and rigorously tested, so you’re starting with strong, healthy mycelium. We source our spawn exclusively from Mycelia, and as the sole UK distributors, we can offer access to their exceptional quality and expertise. Our wholesale service comes with short lead times, custom ordering options, rare and niche strains, and volume discounts, making it easy and cost-effective to scale your mushroom production.
What is the best wholesale mushroom spawn?
The “best” mushroom spawn depends on what you’re growing on. Grain spawn is versatile and fast, sawdust spawn works well with wood-based substrates, and plug spawn is perfect if you’re inoculating logs. The right choice comes down to your setup and what you want to grow.
What's the easiest mushroom to grow?
Oyster mushrooms are one of the easiest to grow. They’re fast, colonise a wide range of substrates, and bounce back with multiple flushes. If you’re looking for straightforward results, start with Oyster mushrooms.
Do you accept returns for wholesale mushroom spawn?
Because spawn is a living product, we can’t accept returns. We do make sure every order leaves us in top condition, and if something isn’t right when it arrives, we’ll always work with you to put it right.
