What is liquid culture?

Shiitake Straw liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth made from distilled water blended with light malt extract, dextrose, and honey, formulated to feed and expand the mycelium.
The mycelium acts like the “roots” or seed of the mushroom and is ideal for inoculating straw bales, buckets, or prepared grow kits to achieve fast, even colonisation and dependable harvests.

Storage and quality standards

For best results, use your Shiitake Straw liquid culture as soon as possible to ensure maximum freshness, vigour, and healthy growth.
If you cannot use it right away, store the syringe in the refrigerator for up to 3 months; every batch is prepared fresh to order in a controlled lab environment under a flow hood and is routinely tested on agar and grain to guarantee clean, high-quality cultures and professional packaging.
