Oak Mushroom Pellets for Gourmet Mushroom Substrate
Give your mushrooms the foundation they deserve with 100 percent Oak Mushroom Pellets, the premium substrate base trusted by serious growers across the country. Made from pure oak hardwood with no oils, fillers, or chemical additives, these pellets deliver a safe, natural, and nutrient-rich medium that supports strong mycelial growth and generous flushes.
Unlike standard heating pellets that may contain binders or contaminants, these oak pellets are produced specifically for mushroom cultivation. Oak wood provides the ideal balance of density, nutrition, and moisture retention, making it the top choice for gourmet mushrooms such as oyster, shiitake, pioppini, reishi, and lion’s mane.
Each pellet breaks down easily when hydrated, transforming into fine oak sawdust ready for your substrate mix. Growers can use the pellets alone or combine them with soy hull pellets or bran supplements to customize their nutrient ratios. For those who prefer convenience, our Fast Fruiting Mix offers a ready-to-use 50/50 blend of oak and soy hulls, formulated at the pelletizing stage for consistent results.
Available in multiple bag sizes, these pellets are ideal for small farms, hobby growers, and commercial operations alike. Bulk and pallet shipments are available on request, and we proudly serve customers throughout the United States and beyond.
