Rice Bran Pellets — 100% Australian Grown Mushroom Substrate Supplement

Our Australian-grown Rice Bran Pellets are a clean, nutrient-rich supplement ideal for enriching mushroom substrates. Packed with natural proteins, fats, and minerals, rice bran serves as a powerful nitrogen source, helping support strong mycelial growth and larger, more robust fruiting bodies. These pellets are a favourite among mushroom growers for use in both low-tech and sterilised substrate methods.

🍄 How to Use for Mushroom Cultivation:

🔹 Low-Tech Boil Pasteurisation:

1. Mix rice bran pellets with hardwood sawdust or other bulk substrate (typically at 10–15% by weight).
2. Add boiling water directly to the substrate mix in a heat-safe container.
3. Cover and let sit for 6–12 hours to allow for pasteurisation and full hydration.
   Hint, place in a insulated container such as a esky or cooler to maintain the heat for a longer time.
4. Once cooled, mix in mushroom spawn and pack into grow bags or containers.

🔹 Sterilisation (Steam or Pressure Cooker):

1. Combine pellets with sawdust or bagasse and adjust moisture content to ~60%.
2. Load the substrate into autoclavable grow bags.
3. Sterilise at 15 PSI (121°C) for 90–120 minutes.
4. Allow to cool completely before inoculating under sterile conditions.
