We are pleased to offer a range of top quality gourmet and medicinal mushroom varieties in liquid culture format. Liquid cultures are live mycelium suspended in a sterile nutrient liquid. The liquid is held in a syringe for hygeine, and convenient application of the liquid culture into your substrate of choice, which may be sterilised grain (to make grain spawn) or even direct onto a supplimented sawdust substrate. Check out our instructions for more info. 
 
These liquid cultures come in 20mL syringes. Each syringe is held within sterile packaging and comes with a fresh, sterile needle to use for squirting the LC into your substrate. Cultures are tested on agar prior to dispatch to ensure that they are free from contamination. A usage rate of approx 5mL to 10mL per kg of sterilised substrate is reccomended.
 
NOTE: Please say in the 'notes' option of your order at checkout, which strain(s) you would like.
 
For instructions you can read our blog post about how to make grain spawn from liquid cultures.
