Mushroom spawn is produced by Amycel Inc at one of its 2 locations in the
United States, San Juan Bautista California and Madisonville Texas.
Spawn for Latin America is typically manufactured at the plant in
Madisonville.
Amycel San Juan Bautista is also the site
for production of the inoculum used at all Amycel spawn plants. Culture
maintenance and inoculum production activities are conducted by
technicians with many years of experience in all phases of spawn
production. Master cultures are preserved in liquid nitrogen for long term
stability with duplicate cultures stored at the Biotechnical Research
Laboratory.
Cultures are multiplied several
times within the sterile laboratories to achieve working quantities of inoculum. During this phase, each multiplication is tested at the
Intermediate Testing Facility (ITF) located at the Biotechnical Research
Laboratory in near-by Royal Oaks, CA.
Amycel San Juan Bautista is the home
office for the company, not only for inoculum production, but for business
administration and process development.
Amycel
produces a full range of mushroom spawn including off white hybrids, brown
strains for Portabella / Crimini production, in addition to Pleurotus
(oyster) and Shiitake strains.
