All of our grain is fully colonized upon shipment. Some species we offer including Lion’s Mane, Pink Oyster, Hen and Chicken of the Woods typically have a faint mycelium and look uncolonized. Rest assured, they are! Your spawn may also look uncolonized if it gets a bit broken up in shipment. (This is similar to how it looks when you break up your spawn to use it!)
Your spawn is likely still 100% viable but if you still have concerns, please send us some photos at info@northspore.com and we’ll be happy to take a look!
