Liquid Culture,Our mycelium strains are suspended in 10ccs of sterile liquid nutrient. Each syringe contains a high-output, isolated sub-strain cloned for maximum yield and minimum incubation time. Each culture is triple-lab-tested and guaranteed 100% contamination free, or we will replace it free of charge.
When it comes to home scale mushroom cultivation, we at the Fungi Academy believe in the power of mushroom liquid cultures!
Why?
They’re easy and cheap to make, extremely scalable, colonize grains far quicker than agar cultures and can be used to make endless more liquid cultures or to inoculate grains in non-sterile environments. Compared to other growing techniques, that’s unprecedented for small-scale growers.
These reasons are why we’ll soon begin to offer liquid cultures on our website, courtesy of the Mushroom Liquid Culture King, Paul of Fungaia.
In this spirit, we thought we’d provide a primer on the basics of mushroom liquid culture.
What is a mushroom liquid culture?
mushroom liquid culture is just living mycelium inside lightly nutritious water. A basic, common recipe for this nutritious water mixture is 500 millimeters of filtered, non-chlorinated water combined with 10 grams of honey, light malt extract, or some other simple, easily fermentable sugar.
What’s the difference between a mushroom and a spore syringe?
As we just learned, a mushroom is basically just mycelium growing in
Spores and spore syringes, on the other hand, are not mycelium. Spores must first germinate before they can begin to form mycelium. So, when you inoculate a substrate with spores/spore syringe, it must first germinate before it begins to grow mycelium. Conversely, when you inoculate a substrate with a mushroom, it starts growing (more) mycelium almost immediately.
