Step 2: Injecting Spores into Grain

So once I had the spores, I injected them into these sterile grain bags that I got from northspores.com. It’s pretty cool, you just sterilize the fuck out of everything with rubbing alcohol in a water bottle. I sterilized the needle point with alcohol and then burnt it off with a lighter and then injected it into the bag through the port (which I also sterilized). Then you just let it sit for 3-4 weeks until the mycelium take over all the grain and become a solid block.
