The pop corn does not need to be soaked like rye grain, the kernels are boiled until they are soft and can be bitten into, then it is strained and layed out to air dry for 30 minutes. The popcorn is then loaded into prepared jars or filter patch bags and sterilized at 15 psi for 2-2.5 hours.

2-4 ml of liquid culture is sufficient to establish an initiative phase of mycelium that can be shaken to speed up colonization.

The fully colonized spawn is then mixed with pasteurized straw or other substrate in buckets or other fruiting container.

After full colonization of the fruiting container, humidity and fresh air is introduced.
