 Earlier it was mentioned that mycelium want a variety of [grain spawn](#grain-spawn) and [substrates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate_(biology)) between generations of colonies so the strain does not lose it's ability to digest different sources of nutrition.

+Once you have practice making [grain spawn](#grain-spawn) you'll want to mix 25% of the substrate chosen for this step to give the mycelium time to produce the right enzymes during colonization.

 This guide uses coconut husk (coir) mixed with [grain spawn](#grain-spawn) for colonization as a substrate.
 You can also add coffee grounds, sawdust, straw, and rice husks for variety.
 Take caution to only change one thing at a time between generations or you risk overwhelming the mycelium.
