Liquid Cultures

Liquid cultures allow mycelium to grow on a 3D surface, which is ideal if you're looking to expand your culture library. Compared to spore syringes, LC's will colonise your grain, all in one bags and agar plates much faster – since you won't need to wait for spores to germinate. All of our liquid cultures are made in cleanroom conditions and are checked for contamination before being made available.

Mushroom Liquid Culture FAQs:

What are liquid cultures?

Liquid cultures are a quick way to grow mycelium on a 3D surface using a nutrient-rich broth. Liquid cultures are usually stored in jars or syringes. Unlike spores, they’ve already germinated, so they’re great if you’re after genetics that’ll quickly grow on agar or grain.

How long does liquid culture last?

Liquid cultures will work best within 3 months of purchasing them. Although, they’ll still be able to produce mushrooms for up to a year before degrading.

How do I use my liquid culture?
