Description

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Live Culture Syringe

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a popular edible mushroom. It’s flowing white “mane” make it one of the most well-known and recognized of the Hericium mushrooms. Our Lion’s Mane Liquid Culture is a great way to get started growing these delectable mushrooms. Our mushroom liquid cultures are lab procured from isolated genetics. Each culture is tested and guaranteed 100% contaminate free or we will replace it free of charge. Each syringe contains a proven high-output isolated sub-strain for maximum yield and minimum incubation time.

Recommended Substrate: Masters Mix (hardwood sawdust and soy hulls)
Recommended Colonization Temperatures: 70-75F
Recommended Fruiting Temperatures: 65-72F

All of our cultures are created in a sterile laboratory using a HEPA filter laminar flow hood. Please allow 2-3 days before shipping.

Product includes a sterile individually packaged hypodermic needle.

Liquid culture is mycelium that is growing and suspended in a supplemented liquid. Mushroom growers use liquid cultures because they are highly effective in the mushroom cultivation process. The liquid culture is sold in a sterile syringe that can be used in many different cultivation techniques. You may inject the liquid culture into sterilized grain jars/bags, substrate bags, agar petri dishes, or even another jar containing sugar water to create more liquid culture. For aggressive strains (like oysters) you can even use it to colonize pasteurized substrates directly. Spore Syringes are Different. Spore syringes contain a solution of spores suspended in sterilized water, with each spore having unique genetics. Liquid cultures contain mycelium from a single isolated strain that has proven high quality genetics. Liquid cultures will provide consistency. Spore syringes provide unique genetics of which you would isolate the best performing strains later on. Typically you would only want to use a spore syringe if you wanted to create a new sub-variety of a mushroom species and experiment with genetics, as results are unpredictable as the various strains compete with each other over the substrate and the strains that are produced may not be of the highest quality.
