Description

King Oyster Mushrooms, like most Oyster mushroom varieties, are among the easiest mushrooms to grow at home, and delicious to eat!  The use of liquid culture to inoculate your grain and start the growing process is the best way to grow mushrooms, as it is both quicker and safer than other methods. Our King Oyster liquid culture has been prepared using strong and healthy mushroom cultures and grown in nutrient-rich malt and yeast extracts.

Liquid culture (mycelium) is regarded as the best way to inoculate and colonise grain and is generally more efficient than spore syringes or agar wedge techniques. Liquid culture mycelium can be more evenly distributed in the grain bag/jar, resulting in more rapid colonization.

Every order contains:

One Luer-Lock syringe containing King Oyster liquid culture (different sizes available)
One 8g sterile needle
70% isopropyl alcohol swab

Liquid culture should be stored in a fridge (but never frozen) until ready for use. Provided it is properly looked after and sterile working practices are followed, it should remain usable for several months. Your King Oyster liquid culture can be used in various ways:

  • To inoculate grain in order to start mycelium colonisation
  • To inoculate fresh liquid culture supplies (so you can reproduce the culture)
  • To inoculate agar dishes

Regardless of how you plan to use this liquid culture, be sure to read up on correct sterile working techniques, check that you are using the right type of grain for the mushroom type you wish to grow, check that you know what conditions are required for incubation and be sure that you then mix your fully colonised grain spawn with the right type of substrate. All these factors will have an effect on the quality of the final mushrooms you grow.

Above all, remember that patience and careful working practices are essential when growing mushrooms at home!
