What is Dry Light Malt Extract (DLME) Powder?
Light Malt Extract (DLME) is a concentrated liquid extract made from malted barley commonly used as an ingredient in brewing beer, ale, and mead. In mushroom growing, it is used to expand mycelium in various forms. It provides the ideal blend of nutrients and carbohydrates that mushroom mycelium needs for ideal growth.
What is Dried Malt Extract used for in mushroom growing?
These are some of the products Rootlab uses it for:
