Turn one syringe into enough liquid culture for up to 20 spawn bags.
A single spore syringe only reaches so far on its own. Put 3-5 cc of it into this jar of sterile nutrient broth, and within days you have a jar of living mycelium big enough to inoculate up to 20 spawn bags or 84 half-pint jars, colonizing grain faster than spores alone.
Spores have to germinate before they do anything, and inside a bag of grain that delay gives contaminants a head start. Liquid culture moves germination into a sealed jar you can watch, so the grain gets mycelium that is already growing.
Wipe the port with an alcohol pad and inject 3-5 cc of spore solution or liquid culture, or drop in a clean agar wedge.
Keep the jar at 76-82°F, away from direct light.
Spin it regularly with the stir bar and external magnet to keep the mycelium suspended. White clouds usually show in 4-5 days.
Pull culture into the 50 cc syringe and inoculate grain jars or spawn bags.
The broth: our own blend of distilled water, dextrose, extra light malt extract and peptone, pressure sterilized and ready to inject. Nothing to mix or cook.
Need more volume?The Premium XL Kit holds 28 oz and covers 40 or more spawn bags. Want to germinate spores in small batches first? Try QuickCulture Mini jars.
3 to 5 cc. Wipe the self-healing port with an alcohol pad first and let it dry. You can also start the jar from another liquid culture or a clean agar wedge.
White mycelium usually appears within 4 to 5 days at 76 to 82 degrees F, and most jars are ready to draw from in about a week to ten days. Go by the growth, since species and starting material both change the pace.
Up to 20 spawn bags or 84 half-pint jars, depending on how much you put in each.
For best results use it within 2 to 3 weeks of arrival and keep it refrigerated before and after use. Once colonized, the culture keeps in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 months.
No. The included stir bar and external magnet let you spin the culture by hand. A magnetic stir plate is an optional upgrade that keeps the mycelium evenly suspended and easier to draw.
They've bug me enough. They are do praise for good service.
Just a couple cc's of LC and it will start BOOMING!
