MUSHROOM MIX BLOCK
RIOCOCO Mushroom Mix Block mediated with coco pith ensures the ideal conditions for mushrooms with reference to the compositions of key organic molecules like cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which fungi enzymatically break down into simpler sugars for energy and biomass synthesis.
Suitable For:
- Types of lignocellulolytic mushrooms.
- Mixed substrates for mushrooms that require types of composted manure-based substrates.

How to use MUSHROOM MIX BLOCKS?
Hydrate the MUSHROOM MIX BLOCK with water to loosen the material. Use the mix as it-is or blend it to create your own customized growing medium suitable for mushrooms, with mineral supplements, adjusting to maintain the substrate moisture around 55% to 70% (varies by mushroom species). Make sure even moisture distribution by mixing the other supplementary ingredients. RIOCOCO coir-based mushroom substrate can also be used as mixes with other major mushroom growing materials like types of wood dust, straw, compost and manure, significantly improving the important physical and chemical properties further. Sterilization is recommended to improve confidence by following a recognized procedure on an industrial scale.
Why RIOCOCO MUSHROOM MIX BLOCKS are best?
RIOCOCO’s Mushroom Mix Block offers a unique, well-seasoned blend of coir pith, balancing moisture retention, aeration and gas exchange. Coco peat excels in this, making it a valuable component that helps to maintain hydration over time, especially in low-humidity environments or during fruiting. The mix of particle sizes ensures a balanced texture, which can offer an ideal substrate structure. It is clean, biodegradable, and eco-friendly, making it a reliable and sustainable choice for professional mushroom growers.
