3 Mushroom Liquid Cultures of your choice.
Sterile alcohol wipes for cleaning inoculation areas.
18G sterile needles for inoculation into chosen medium or grow kit.

All of our liquid cultures are prepared fresh for every order in our lab. We use a laminar flow hood when carrying out all work, to ensure sterile and clean cultures.

WHAT IS LIQUID CULTURE?

Liquid culture is a a nutrient rich broth made up of distilled water. Mixed with light malt extract, dextrose and honey, to create a mix for the mycelium to feed on while it’s growing. You can think of mycelium as the mushroom seed. This can then be used to inoculate our grow kits or substrate mix to start grow mushrooms.

We regularly test all of our liquid cultures on agar and grain to guarantee you only get the highest quality culture.

HOW DO I USE LIQUID CULTURE?

3 Mushroom Liquid Cultures can be used in many ways. The most common use is injecting into our mushroom grow kits.

You can also use liquid culture to create grain spawn, which is kind of like a mushroom seed. Grain spawn can then be moved into a mushroom growing substrate, known as bulk substrate to begin fruiting/growing mushrooms. Most of our mushroom liquid cultures prefer the hardwood and wheat bran grow bags

Liquid culture can also be used to inoculate agar plates for long term storage.

HOW DO I GROW MUSHROOMS?

Different mushrooms require different care and conditions to grow, but with the right conditions and coupled with our liquid cultures, and grow kits, you can grow your own mushroom easily. We offer a wide variety of easy to use grow kits and mushroom growing substrates. We’ve done all the hard work to save you the time and energy. By growing mushrooms in bags this way you can have more control over the environment throughout the whole growing cycle than if you were to grow outside.

STORAGE:

We recommend using your liquid culture as soon as possible, to ensure maximum freshness and healthy growth.

If you cannot use it right away, then we advise storing your culture in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
