Sawdust Spawn — 5 lb Blocks
Our sawdust spawn is made with a 50/50 mix of hardwood sawdust and whole oats, hydrated to 40%. This combination has been unofficially dubbed “Super Spawn” by growers — and for good reason. It delivers aggressive colonization, high nutrition, and enzymatic strength in one clean, efficient block.
Each spawn block weighs 5 lbs and comes fully colonized with the strain of your choice.
Shipping Policy:
- Spawn ships every Monday.
- Orders must be placed by Thursday at 11:59 PM Eastern to ship the following Monday.
- Orders placed after the cutoff will ship the week after.

Why Our Spawn Performs Like It Does
Our spawn is designed to give cultivators the best of both worlds:
- Whole oats supply dense, long-burning nutrients that power rapid expansion.
- Fine sawdust creates thousands of tiny inoculation points, allowing your spawn to contact and colonize the substrate more evenly and aggressively.
- The 40% hydration level ensures ideal moisture for storage, handling, and clean leap-off.
But there’s more under the surface. The sawdust base doesn’t just hold mycelium — it activates it.
Enhanced Enzymatic Profile
Unlike grain-only spawn, the inclusion of sawdust boosts enzymatic readiness. That means:
- Faster digestion of your fruiting substrate
- Stronger recovery after transfer
- Better leap-off into both hardwood and supplemented blocks
This isn’t just spawn — it’s a substrate-ready biological engine designed for commercial strength and small-system flexibility.
