Mushbox casing starter for mushroom casing kits - order now
The Casing Starter from Mushbox.com is one of the key ingredients to the success of the MYG Mushroom Casing Kit and probably any casing kit that uses soil or dung as a substrate. Basically its microscopic mycological biological warfare, you could even consider it nano-mycology!
The mixture inside the vial contains a sample of soil combined with an elite type of Nematode. A Nematode is basically a microscopic worm that has only 1 purpose, to feed on fly larva, and fly larva are everywhere, especially in your casing soil.
Fly larva love to eat mycelium and this can cause them to hatch making your mushroom casing kit a fly hatching factory. So before any larva can potentially take hold and start munching on your mycelium the Nematodes in this mixture will hunt out all the larva waiting to hatch and eat them before they can do any damage to your mushroom project.
