All-in-one method: Inject liquid culture into the grain layer at the bottom of the ${growBag}. Allow the grain to colonise, then break and mix it through the hardwood substrate inside the sealed bag.
Separate method: Inject liquid culture into the ${grain}. Once fully colonised, mix that grain spawn with the ${bulk}.

A practical guide to mushroom metabolites, including what yellow or amber liquid in a grow bag means, how to tell normal mycelium from contamination, and when to worry.
