This method involves growing Agarikon mycelium on a solid substrate. Once fully colonized, the entire block (mycelium + substrate) is dried and processed for extraction.

1. Preparation (Grain): If using grain, soak the grain for 12–24 hours, boil lightly until the grains swell but do not burst, and drain thoroughly until the exterior is dry to the touch.

2. Preparation (Sawdust): If using a conifer sawdust mix, hydrate to 60% moisture capacity.
