SPAWN
MATE INC.
Spawn Mate,
Inc. was formed in the early 1970's around a patent developed by Penn State
University for a delayed release nutritional supplement for mushrooms. Spawn Mate
essentially established itself as the standard for mushroom
supplementation within North
America. The key to Spawn Mate's acceptance and success lies in several
essential product criteria:
-
The products can be added at
spawning or casing.
-
The nutrients are delivered
in a delayed release form.
-
Nutrient levels are
sufficient to provide a significant amount of energy to stimulate yields
and provide an economic benefit to the grower.
To this date, all Spawn Mate products have
been denatured, providing key benefits in temperature control during spawn
run. By varying the type of ingredients and the protein levels, Spawn Mate
supplements can be varied to fit into different growing systems and farm
requirements.
All Spawn Mate products are produced in
New Albany, Indiana. This plant is an efficient facility that is designed
around production efficiencies and flexibility. Under the direction of the
Biotechnical Research department, Spawn Mate is constantly researching new
methods and formulations to enhance mushroom yield and quality.
Spawn Mate produces a wide range of
supplements under the Spawn Mate and ProMycel names within North America
and Europe.
Promycel Gold, Promycel 450 and Spawn Mate II-SE are approved for use
in Mexico and Spawn Mate will pursue permitting in other Latin American
countries if there is a substantial need.
