If you want the fastest "jump-off" from grain to substrate, Unhulled White French Millet is the choice.

 

Its tiny size makes it the ideal medium for master jars and grain-to-grain (G2G) transfers. When you mix millet spawn into your bulk substrate, the sheer number of grains ensures that mycelium starts growing from every possible angle, colonising your fruiting blocks in record time.

Why Choose Millet?

  • Massive Amount Of Inoculation Points: With more grains per gram than rye or wheat, millet provides a much more even distribution of mycelium throughout your substrate.
  • Effortless "Break & Shake": Millet is naturally round and flowable. It is the easiest grain to break up and redistribute within a jar or bag, significantly reducing colonisation lag.
  • Thin Hull for Fast Access: The delicate hull allows mycelium to penetrate and consume the starch quickly, leading to aggressive, vibrant white growth.
  • Clean: Sourced specifically for its purity.

Benefits

- Australian Grown: The cleanest possible food source for your mycelium. Zero additives.

How do I use it?

How to Prepare:
Rinse: Rinse briefly in cool water.

Soak: Submerge for 12–18 hours. Millet is small and fast; do not over-soak or it may become mushy.

Simmer: Simmer for only 5–10 minutes. Watch closely—millet can turn to "porridge" quickly if overcooked.

Dry: Spread thin on a screen or tray. It is vital that the hulls are completely dry to the touch to prevent clumping.

Sterilize: Pressure cook at 15 PSI for 90 minutes.

The "No-Soak" Method

For the grower who values precision and time, this method allows you to hydrate and sterilize your grain in one single step. By using exact weights, you eliminate the risk of "burst" grains or "wet spot" bacteria.

The Golden Ratio for Millet:
Dry Millet: 250g
Boiling Water: 115g - 125g (Approx. 45-50% hydration)
Gypsum: 1/4 teaspoon (optional, helps keep grains flowing)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Measure: Weigh out your dry millet directly into your quart jar or autoclavable bag.
Add Water: Pour in the measured boiling water. (Using boiling water helps the grain absorb moisture faster during the pressure cycle).
Add Gypsum: Toss in a small amount of gypsum to prevent the small seeds from sticking together.
Seal: Tighten your lid (with a filter patch/injection port) or fold your bag according to standard lab practice.
Sterilise: Pressure cook at 15 PSI (121C} for 90 minutes.The "Hot Shake": CRITICAL STEP. As soon as the pressure cooker is safe to open, remove the jars/bags while they are still hot and give them a vigorous shake. This redistributes the moisture evenly before the grains cool and set.
