Organic Mushroom Compost
Healthy gardens begin with healthy soil. Our Organic Mushroom Compost is produced from premium spent mushroom substrate that has been carefully composted and aged into a nutrient-rich organic soil amendment. Rich in organic matter and naturally occurring minerals, it improves soil structure, increases moisture retention, and creates an ideal environment for strong, healthy root development.
Perfect for vegetable gardens, flower beds, landscapes, lawns, fruit trees, and container gardens, our mushroom compost helps revitalize depleted soils while supporting long-term plant health. Whether you're establishing new plantings or improving existing beds, Farm Mycology Mushroom Compost provides a sustainable, environmentally responsible solution for growing healthier plants and more productive gardens.

Application Instructions
Garden Beds & Landscapes
Incorporate 1–3 inches into the top 4–6 inches of existing soil before planting.
Raised Beds
Blend with existing soil or growing media to improve fertility, water retention, and soil structure.

Coarse Grade 4 Vermiculite
Premium Grade 4 coarse vermiculite is a lightweight, expanded mineral prized for its exceptional water-holding capacity and excellent aeration. Its large particle size helps create air pockets within growing media, promoting healthy root development while reducing soil compaction.
Ideal for seed starting, potting mixes, raised beds, container gardens, and specialty horticultural applications, Grade 4 vermiculite improves moisture retention without becoming waterlogged. It can also be used as a top dressing for seed germination, in propagation mixes, and for storing bulbs and tubers.
Features:
Coarse Grade 4 particle size
Increases water retention
Improves aeration and drainage
Helps reduce soil compaction
pH neutral and sterile
Lightweight and easy to mix
Suitable for indoor and outdoor growing
Common Uses:
Potting soil amendments
Seed starting and propagation
Houseplants and tropical plants
Vegetable and herb gardens
Raised beds
Bulb and tuber storage
Terrariums and vivariums
Ingredients: 100% Expanded Grade 4 Vermiculite
Perlite is a lightweight, amorphous volcanic glass that expands when rapidly heated to produce a white, porous material. It is widely used in horticulture, mushroom cultivation, and hydroponics because of its excellent water retention, aeration, and drainage properties.
Origin and processing
Source: Perlite is a natural volcanic glass high in silica.
Expansion: Raw perlite is crushed and heated to about 1,400–1,800°F (760–980°C). The trapped water in the glass vaporizes, causing the particles to "pop" and expand up to 4–20 times their original volume. The expanded product is airy and has a popcorn-like structure.
Grades: Available in multiple grades (fine, medium, coarse) determined by particle size and intended use.
Physical properties
Appearance: White, lightweight, and brittle with a granular, porous structure.
Bulk density: Very low (typically 30–150 kg/m³ depending on grade).
pH: Generally neutral to slightly alkaline (around 7–8.5).
Inertness: Chemically inert and sterile in its expanded form; does not decompose.
Horticultural uses
Soil amendment: Improves soil structure by increasing aeration and drainage while retaining some moisture and nutrients near roots.
Potting mixes: Commonly mixed with peat, coco coir, or compost to create well-draining potting substrates.
Seed starting and cuttings: Fine-grade perlite provides good moisture retention and oxygenation for root development.
Hydroponics and soilless culture: Used alone or blended as a soilless medium for containerized growing.
Mushroom cultivation
Sterile barrier: Used in the moisture reservoir of mushroom grow boxes or monotubs to maintain high humidity.
Substrate component: Mixed into bulk substrates or casing layers to improve aeration and prevent compaction.
Practical considerations
Dust: Dry perlite can generate fine dust; wetting before use or wearing a dust mask helps reduce inhalation risk.
Handling: Lightweight and easy to dispense; not a source of nutrients—works by modifying physical properties of the growing medium.
Disposal: Inert and safe for disposal in regular waste streams; can also be reused if kept clean and free of pathogens.
Ready-to-use hydrated coco coir is a renewable growing medium that provides excellent moisture retention while maintaining outstanding drainage and aeration. Perfect for container gardening and hydroponic growing.
