Spawning mushroom rye berries. Psilocybe Cubensis on rye. Cultivating the Psilocybe cubensis on a substrate of rye, covered with a casing layer is one of the easiest and thus one of the most frequently used methods.

Re-printed from myco-tek.com -------------------------------------------------- Grain Prep TEK Introduction: The first item of consideration when working with grain is a pressure cooker for sterilization.
As far as I know (aside from an autoclave), a pressure cooker is the only way to get the grain hot enough in order for it to become properly sterilized. For this TEK, we will be using a pressure cooker which holds 7 - 1 Qt. sized canning jars. The type of grain that we will be using is known as rye grain and is the most commonly used type amongst commercial grow-ops for creating spawn used with bulk substrates and edible mushrooms. Below is a photo reference of the rye grain that may help you to locate what you need. Overview: Below is a list of all the items you will need to carry out this procedure: (see pic above for reference) Initial Preparation: Before we begin, it's always a good idea to wash your hands and clean the work space that you will be working in before you get started.
