Biological Efficiency (or BE for short) describes the yield potentials of mushrooms from various substrates. Simply put, a yield of 1 pound fresh mushrooms from 1 pound of dry substrate is considered to be 100% Biological Efficiency.
Since mushrooms are approximately 90% water and the base substrate is typically raised to 70 - 75% moisture, 100% Biological Efficiency is equivalent to saying that about 25% of the wet mass of the substrate is converted into fresh mushrooms. Thus, with our 5 pound All-in-One Bags, at 100% BE you would have a yield of 2.25 pounds of fresh mushrooms. Compare that to a more expensive 2.6 pound All-in-One Bag from a competitor which would yield only 1.95 pounds of mushrooms at the same BE.
Our ready-made bags with pre-soaked and pre-sterilized grain media are precisely measured with our automatic bagger and sterilized in a commercial autoclave.
