10 ml Culinary Liquid Culture

Key Advantages for using our Culinary Liquid Culture Inoculator for Home Growing Culinary Gourmet Mushrooms

Using liquid culture is highly popular for culinary for several reasons:

• Speed & convenience: Because the mycelium is already "alive" and hydrated in sterilized liquid, it begins growing mycelium from 7-9 days. This is a great way to inoculate grains for any at home mushroom grower. Liquid culture is also a great way transfer mycelium agar plates as well.

• Inoculation Points: When you inject 2-4cc of liquid culture into a grain bag, those thousands of tiny fragments spread everywhere. This creates multiple "growth centers," leading to a much faster colonization of the bag.

• Longevity: A single syringe of liquid culture can be stored in the air tight sealed bags we provide for up to 3 months in the refrigerator. One isolated liquid culture syringe can be used to create liters of more liquid culture, meaning a small investment can theoretically provide an endless supply of mycelium for your mushroom farm. 

• Ease of Use: It is much easier and cleaner to inject a liquid into a bag through a small hole called the injection port on your grain or substrate for colonization than it is to transfer solid pieces of agar in the open air without a laminar flow hood.

  We provide a wonderful variety of mushrooms to choose from, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Blue Oyster, Blue Nevada Oyster, Golden, Antler Reishi and Black Pearl King Trumpet.  Always keep your liquid culture refrigerated until ready to use.
