Advanced level:

If you are a beginner, it is best to start with our ready-to-grow kits or our grain-based mycelia .

Liquid mycelium cultures are generally used to inoculate sterilized grains for the manufacture of "blanks" or "inoculums", which in turn are used to inoculate fruiting substrates such as straw or sawdust.

You can also use them with our bags of already sterilized grains or our agar culture media .

Liquid cultures are supplied in 10ml syringes, which can inoculate several jars or bags of grain (between 1 and 6 kg). They are composed of a nutrient liquid and mycelium.

Our mycelia are produced in the laboratory to guarantee their quality and the absence of any contamination. Furthermore, all cultures are tested before being used.

Use

Before use, shake the syringe well to disperse the mycelium as evenly as possible in the liquid. We purposely leave a small air bubble in the syringe to facilitate dispersion.

We recommend that before each laboratory manipulation, you wash your hands with soap and water, as well as wear gloves. Work in the cleanest environment possible to limit the risk of contamination.

Clean the injection area with 70° alcohol, as well as the tip of the syringe. Unscrew the cap and screw in the needle.

Insert the needle into the container and inject the desired amount of liquid.

The more liquid you add, the more mycelium there will be and the faster colonization will take place.

Conservation

Mycelium in liquid culture has a very good conservation capacity.

Preserving mycelium in liquid culture in hermetically sealed syringes offers a long shelf life.

We advise you to keep them in the fridge and use them within 12 months maximum. However, it is better to use them more quickly.

List of Varieties

Elm oyster mushroom : White oyster mushrooms, rather rustic varieties. Wide and thin hats. Rapid growth. Good productivity. Average conservation.

Florida oyster mushroom : Heat-resistant variety. Productive even in cool temperatures (min 10°). Cluster made up of a set of small caps of 3-5 cm. Color tending towards bluish-gray in cold conditions, towards off-white in warm conditions. Robust mycelium

Prince oyster mushroom : Cascades of small silver-gray caps tending towards gray-brown below 15°. Classic commercial variety. Short, slender feet. Good productivity and good conservation.

Blue Brat Oyster Mushroom : Originally from Bratislava. Small silver gray hats. Average productivity but hardy and resistant variety with rapid growth.

King of Pearl oyster mushroom : Beige-gray color caps, average productivity, aggressive and fast mycelium.

Pearl oyster mushroom : small beige hats. Basic hardy variety. Average productivity but adapts well to all temperatures.

Pathfinder oyster mushroom : large beige fruits. Relatively fragile, but good productivity. Large tender feet. Very fine fragrant almond taste.

Soignes oyster mushroom : winter variety from the Soignes Forest (South of Brussels). Mar gray color tending towards brown. Very aggressive mycelium. Enjoys the cold and the outside air.

Pulmonary Oyster Mushroom : Also called the Italian oyster mushroom, it tolerates heat well, but it can also be grown all year round. Very fast growth, easy to anticipate harvests.
