 '''During the Workshop'''
 Making a production line to stay as sterile as possible is important.
-The sterile substrate (not too wet! It should stick together but water should not come out, when squeezed in your hand.) is mixed with  the ready 'sponge bags' (i.e. pleurote grain spawn) to have a greater volume of substrate mixed in with mycelium. This is put into clean moulds, for growth.

 Cut 5 bags at once then fill them and see how many more are needed. Fill the bags with the mixture, a little less than half of the bag, then autoclave the bags for 1 hour. After the steam is released retrieve the bags, caution hot, then seal them with the cable ties (cord) as tight as possible. Finally the bags need to cool down over night to be ready to use. A too hot substrate might kill the mycelium.
