  • FOR EVERY TYPE OF GROWER: Use Boomr Bag in monotubs, filter bags, and outdoor beds. Or, grow mushrooms from the bag or tray in a humidity-controlled grow room or Martha set up.

Description

Our best-selling Boomr Bag is a sterile manure-based bulk mushroom substrate formulated by mycologists to maximize your mushroom yield. Boomr bag was developed for growing edible and medicinal dung-loving mushroom species. (If growing hardwood-loving species, use our Wood Lovr sterile substrate instead.) Boomr Bag features a proprietary blend of composted horse manure, coco coir, and several quality substrate supplements. Bags are hydrated to field capacity. Boomr Bag was formulated by expert mycologists in Maine, USA to increase the yield of your grow. The formula has been perfected over the years for dung-loving mushroom species. Boomr Bags are made in a vertically-integrated facility and sterilized in a commercial-grade autoclave. Sterility is verified using biological indicators and temperature sensors. North Spore was launched in 2014 by a mycologist, an organic farmer, and a photojournalist -- three college friends brought together through their shared love of the mycological world. North Spore provides everything one needs to grow mushrooms, from the beginner to the expert. From Spray & Grow Kits to growing chambers, sterile substrates, lab supplies, and more. We also offer medicinals made with the highest quality fruiting body extracts.

  • Best pre-pasteurized substrate I've found.
Size: 1 Pack
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. ... show more

  • Very disappointed
Size: 1 Pack
Thought this was suppose to be one of the best substrates out there to use. It takes time to grow and I’m using for personal use so I only do a few grow bags at a time. With in 6 months when I went to use I noticed bugs in my substrate. Now I kept indoors, I folded and clipped the bag tight when not in use and it was stored in the original bag, box in a closed cabinet. When I looked further I saw it was infested with gnat bugs and I felt like it was no longer usable for indoor use. It was over the return time so it was a complete waste of money on my end. If you’re using for a large grow at one time then it might be better but not in my case. I already disposed of it and did not take pictures because when I noticed this I just wanted to get it out of the house. ... show more

  • Wait a few weeks before going to bulk.
Size: 1 Pack
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. ... show more

  • First impressions(and 2nd, and 3rd)
Size: 1 Pack
This is the 2nd manure based substrate I've tried, the 1st I've had good results from. When I opened the box, comparatively, it looked like mulch. I actually thought they sent wood lovers by mistake lol I'm no expert, but again compared to my trusted brand, this one looks like it's at least 50% coco cior and the other brand looked like it was only 5%. It probably helps with aeration, and it didn't take as long to break up. Oh, and there was a rock over an inch long.... Will overlook that(minus a star tho) and update with how it performs.. I hope their equipment is OK after that went through lol An update.. 2 things. 1. It was extremely hydrated to the point that I had to carefully take the lid off early with something nearby to pour the water in before giant droplets started raining down.. Minus another star. 2. The cleanup was.. Less gross with less poo lol Will give 1 more try with a different one I'm more familiar with just bc of the easy clean up to see if there's a noticeable difference in quality. I do not recommend for things vulnerable to wet spots. Update: They must read these, the next batch was significantly darker lol. I mean, yay for this time(I hope, still too early), but it also tells me the product isn't consistent. Unless I see 3 nice tasty flushes this time, I'll stick to the other comparatively priced one. Final update: Did not see 3 flushes out of something I've seen have more. Still not a high enough poo to coco coir ratio methinks. I'm not an expert, but I'm not sure why their kits have coco coir to put on top of this, it seems to have enough lol ... show more
