Spawn (medium not stated): prices across US vendors
20 species and 24 current listings at 1 vendors, updated September 17, 2026. Every price on this page is per unit, and all of it is one product category — so these numbers are directly comparable. A unit here is never compared to a product in another category.
Colonized spawn whose growing medium the vendor doesn't state — sold simply as “spawn” or “live spawn”. Kept separate on purpose: grain and sawdust spawn are different products at different prices, so we won't guess which one these are and quietly average them together.
