Many different types of grains can be used for spawn such as oats, wheat, rye, wild bird seed and even popcorn. Without a doubt Rye is the most common grain in use for mushroom cultivation. Mushrooms seem to like it most because of its water absorbing qualities and nutrient makeup.

Next you need to flame sterilize the needle of the syringe until it is red hot. Then you simply inject the liquid culture right though the filter or injection port on the top of the jar.
