𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞:
Shiitake mushrooms are a bit more challenging to grow since typically after your sawdust substrate has been inoculated with mycelium it will be 2-3 months before you’ll be producing mushrooms. They also prefer a cold shock in order to initiate pinning and also require a longer resting period between flushes. Fresh and dried shiitake have many uses in East Asian cuisine. In Japan, they are served in miso soup, and in Chinese cuisine, they are often sautéed in a variety of vegetarian dishes.

Liquid cultures syringes ARE NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, and consist of mushroom mycelium suspended in a sterile nutrient broth, that carries the freshest, and tested genetics for consistent fruiting yields.

𝐋𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 Cultures will last for up to 6 months at room temperature or up to 1 year if stored in a tightly sealed bag in the refrigerator (do not freeze). We sell a wide range of liquid cultures of many popular gourmet mushroom species from around the world.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐬𝐞: **SYRINGES ARE NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION**
Use the syringe to inoculate your own liquid culture media to expand the mycelium into many syringes or spawn to colonize mushroom fruiting blocks and for microscopy use.
