North Spore 'Boomr Bag' Sterile Mushroom Bulk Substrate, Manure-Based, 5 lb | Filter Patch Bag for Monotubs & Bulk Grows, Dung-loving Species, Mycologist-formulated, Made in USA

Works great. 1st time doing this and it’s been a breeze

quality product

I switched to boomr bags after being unsatisfied with other pre-pasteurized substrates and mixing and sterilizing my own. It's not cheap, but the end result is superior. Keep bag for at least a week before using to check for contam. North Spore will replace for free any contaminated bags if you contact them. I've never seen a contaminated bag even after over 20 orders, but I have had to get north spore to replace a grain bag which they did hassle-free. Just take a pic of the contaminated and the lot number sticker on bag and email them. For anyone saying this substrate doesn't work for manure lovers, I'd say you just don't know how to grow mushrooms. A lot of people contaminate batches themselves without realizing it. The bag may come too wet or dry. Too dry, just spray with distilled water during mixing with spawn in sterilized room. Too wet (you can tell if water separates from substrate and you can see liquid in bag) let it dry out by spraying breather patch with alcohol and unfolding bag a little and let sit a few days. Always spray breather port with alcohol before handling or moving it from box. Airborne bacteria can get pulled into bag from patch.

Extremely disappointed with this product. I practiced very good sterility, and yet everything that I used this in became contaminated quickly. While also compared to when I began making and pasteurizing/sterilizing my own substrate which never had any problems. Unfortunately I made a bulk purchase too hastily.

Original order was for 2 dung lovers bags, waited a few weeks and saw that one was contaminated. Contacted North Spore directly with my Amazon order # and they immediately sent me a replacement. Great customer service response and communication. Ordered 3 more dung lovers bags due to my needs and currently waiting to see if they along with the replacement crop up with contamination. Great response from North Spore otherwise.

Great product. Great company. Great customer service.

This sat for weeks before use, no issues with leaks or any kind of bad stuff growing in it. Moisture content was perfect even after sitting so long. I added this to two separate bags of mycelium that was growing in other substrate bags, allowed a few days to mix and colonize a bit more, then dumped into growing trays that had lids and air vents. Mycelium fully colonized within a week, thick white carpet of fuzz was gorgeous and happy. Moisture content stayed perfect throughout growing cycle. Absolutely no sign of contamination or mold or anything bad even after several months. Would recommend and buy again

Works, definitely better places to get mediums. Tested for longevity and started to mold after a week. They are meant to be used instantly.
