Functional
Liquid mycelium
The syringes are loaded with 20 ml of liquid mycelium culture.
That is enough to knock up a lot of spawn.
The liquid mycelium is cultivated in our own laboratory and is guaranteed fresh.
Sterile needle
We include one sterile needle with each liquid culture.
You can reuse the needle if you flame sterilse it until it is red and hot.
Stopper cap
We add stopper cap to the syringes prior to shipping.
You do not need to worry about your liquid culture leaking during shipping.
Secure packaging
The syringes are packaged in secure plastic bags that allow for air exchange.
You do not need to worry about the syringes contaminating during shipping.
Sterilised grains
You can use the liquid cultures to make your own grain spawn by knocking up sterilised grains.
It is also possible to use the culture to inoculate other substrates or agar dishes.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.
Here are some answers to common questions we get about our liquid mushroom cultures.
What are liquid mushroom cultures?
Liquid mushroom cultures are syringes containing 20 ml of live, actively growing mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich liquid solution.
They are used by experienced growers to inoculate grain or substrates and are a reliable way to jump-start mushroom cultivation.
How are liquid cultures different from spore syringes or agar plates?
Liquid cultures contain living, actively growing mycelium, making them faster and more reliable for colonization compared to spore syringes.
Agar plates are also used for mycelium growth, but they require more advanced handling and sterile techniques. Liquid cultures offer a convenient balance of precision and ease.
How should I store my liquid cultures to keep them viable?
How you should store the culture depends on the strain itself. Make sure to check the storage instructions on the syringe itself.
In general (works for most species) you should store your liquid culture syringe in the refrigerator at 2–4°C.
Proper storage can extend their viability for up to 6 months. Avoid freezing, as it can damage the mycelium.
What types of mushrooms are available as liquid cultures?
We offer a wide variety of gourmet and specialty mushrooms, including Lion’s Mane, Oyster, Shiitake, and more.
Each culture is carefully crafted for quality and viability, allowing you to choose the perfect strain for your cultivation goals.
How much liquid culture should I use per batch of grain or substrate?
This depends on how much moisture your grain batch/substrate contains and how much of a hurry you are in.
As a rule of thumb 5-10 ml of liquid culture gives per kg of sterilized grains ensure fast and even colonization.
If you are not in a hurry and have your moisture content on point 1–2 ml of liquid culture per 500 gram of grain are enough.
Larger batches may require proportionally more culture to ensure even growth.
Can I use liquid cultures to inoculate substrates directly?
While it’s possible, it’s recommended to first use liquid cultures to create grain spawn.
This intermediate step ensures better distribution of mycelium and reduces the risk of contamination when transferring to bulk substrates.
How can I ensure sterile techniques when using liquid cultures?
Always work in a clean environment. Use an alcohol lamp or lighter to sterilize the syringe needle before injecting, wipe surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, and wear gloves to minimize contamination risks.
If you have access to an laminar flow hood or glove box you should use it.
Where are your liquid cultures made?
Our mushroom liquid are proudly made and shipped from Finland.
By producing each syringe in our own facility, we maintain strict quality control and ensure that every culture is crafted with care.
Our fresh, lab-grown mycelium is handled entirely in-house, so you can trust you’re receiving a top-quality product designed for success.
What is the shelf life of your liquid cultures?
This depends on the culture strain itself. Make sure to check the storage instructions and viability on the syringe itself.
In general (most species) liquid cultures remain viable for up to 6 months. For best results, use them as soon as possible after arrival.
