White Beech Liquid Culture – Hypsizygus tessellatus

White Beech Mushroom (Hypsizygus tessellatus), also known as Bunashimeji, is a type of edible mushroom that is native to East Asia but is now widely cultivated and consumed in many parts of the world. It is a small, delicate mushroom with a white, button-like cap and a thin stem.

White Beech mushrooms have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm, slightly chewy texture. They are often used in soups, stir-fries, and salads, as well as in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine. They are low in calories and high in nutrients, including protein, fiber, and antioxidants.

White Beech mushrooms are also believed to have a range of potential health benefits. They have been studied for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, as well as their potential to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

White Beech mushrooms are typically sold fresh in clusters or in packages, but can also be found dried. They are easy to prepare and can be added to a wide variety of dishes for a flavorful and nutritious boost. ©

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.
