What’s included

What is liquid culture?

Chestnut liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth made from distilled water mixed with light malt extract, dextrose, and honey, formulated to feed and expand the mycelium.
The actively growing mycelium functions like the mushroom “seed,” allowing you to inoculate grain spawn, sawdust blocks, or ready-made grow kits for fast colonisation and reliable harvests.

Storage and quality standards

For best results, use your Chestnut liquid culture as soon as possible to ensure maximum freshness, vigour, and healthy growth.
If you cannot use it immediately, store the syringe in the refrigerator for up to 3 months; each batch is prepared fresh to order in a sterile lab under laminar flow and is routinely tested on agar and grain to guarantee clean, high-quality cultures and professionally packaged products.
