Chestnut Liquid Culture – Pholiota adiposa

Description

Chestnut mushroom, also known as Pholiota adiposa, is a type of edible mushroom that is commonly consumed in many parts of the world. It is characterized by its chestnut brown color and firm texture, and has a slightly nutty, earthy flavor.

Chestnut mushrooms are versatile in cooking and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as stir-fries, soups, stews, and pasta dishes. They can also be roasted, grilled, or sautéed as a side dish or appetizer.

In addition to their culinary uses, chestnut mushrooms have been studied for their potential health benefits. They are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and contain compounds such as ergothioneine, which has been shown to have antioxidant properties. ©

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. You can think of mycelium as the mushroom seed, this can then be used to inoculate a grow kit 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.
