What is a Liquid Culture Syringe?

It’s a syringe filled with living mycelium that is suspended in a nutrient-rich liquid.. Its purpose is to limit contamination and make it easy to introduce the mycelium into the desired substrate. The substrate can be sterilized grains for producing grain spawn or it can be directly applied to a supplemented sawdust substrate.

Why Choose Liquid Culture for Growing Lion’s Mane Mushrooms?

  • Pure Excellence: It is made from pure mushroom cultures and nutrient-rich extracts, resulting in faster colonization and higher yields than traditional methods.
  • Efficient Colonization: The liquid mycelium is evenly distributed, which promotes quick colonization of grain spawn and enhances bioactivity in the final product.
  • Faster Growth: By using a liquid culture syringe, you can skip the germination stage and work with actively growing mycelium, thus saving time compared to using spores.
  • Increased Viability: Liquid cultures generally have higher viability than spores, as spores can be affected by environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and contamination.

How to Store Liquid Culture?

To store the liquid culture, keep it in the syringe it came in. It can remain viable for up to six months when stored correctly.

  • Store it in a cool and dark place, such as a refrigerator, until ready to use.
  • Avoid temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight, as they can affect the viability of the culture.
