Unicorn 4T — Mushroom Grain Spawn Bag (Small)
The Unicorn 4T is the standard grain spawn bag for batches up to 1kg — compact, reliable, and the bag most UK growers reach for first. Whether you're running rye, oat grain or wheat berries, it handles autoclave and pressure cooker cycles cleanly with no warping or seal failure. Made in the USA since 1990 by Unicorn Bags LLC, the industry's most trusted name in mushroom cultivation bags.

- Perfect for hobbyists, small lab setups, and anyone working in the 1kg grain range
