Growing fungi at home has mushroomed in popularity! The All American 1930 Electronic Sterilizer gives you consistent results and ease of use.

It’s rewarding to grow your own mushrooms at home! Many people begin with mushroom kits and progress quickly to specialty varieties that require substrates. This process is exciting and provides even more opportunities to not only grow and preserve your own food, but experiment with and learn about many mushroom varieties.

Pasteurization and sterilization are two methods commonly used in the home mushroom growing process. While pasteurization kills the majority of contaminants in a substrate, the process doesn’t kill everything. It’s suitable for substrates with a lower nutrition profile.

Sterilization – used for substrates with higher nutrition profiles, like hardwoods – kills 100% of competing organisms in a substrate. When sterilizing a substrate, you need temperatures higher than 250℉ for at least two hours. Additionally, you’ll need to add pressure to raise the temperature to this level, or above, to kill off bacteria and fungal spores.
