Pine Pellets For Mushroom Substrate

Our Australian-grown pine pellets are a clean, natural, and versatile substrate choice, especially prized by mushroom growers for their consistent quality and performance. Made from 100% sustainably sourced pine with no additives, these pellets break down easily with water, creating an ideal medium for species like oyster mushrooms. The resulting sawdust is easy to hydrate and pasteurise, offering excellent structure and nutrient absorption for vigorous mycelial growth.

✅ No additives, chemicals, or binders

✅ Clean and safe for sterilisation or pasteurisation

✅ Great airflow and moisture retention

✅ Ideal for home growers, educators, and hobbyists

✅ Compatible with grow bags, monotubs, and all-in-one kits

Beyond mushroom cultivation, pine pellets serve a wide range of uses. They’re highly absorbent, making them a fantastic option for eco-friendly pet bedding or litter, and they’re equally popular as a low-dust fuel for pellet stoves. Gardeners use them as a natural mulch or soil conditioner, breaking down over time to enrich compost and improve soil structure.  These pellets are also ideal for blending with bran for making Bokashi bran.

Our pellets are ideal for hobby growers, commercial cultivators, and sustainable households alike. Whether you’re inoculating mushroom blocks, lining a chicken coop, or heating your home with renewable biomass, these pellets deliver clean performance with a small footprint.
