Hedgehog
Hedgehog Mushroom Liquid Culture
Cultivate the highly prized Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum repandum) with our premium liquid culture, prepared fresh to order under sterile laboratory conditions. Known for its distinctive spiny underside, pale cream to apricot colouring, and excellent culinary reputation, Hedgehog Mushroom is one of the most sought-after wild mushroom species among foragers and mycology enthusiasts.
Like chanterelles, Hedgehog mushrooms form a mycorrhizal relationship with host trees, making outdoor woodland cultivation the only viable method for this species. Successful cultivation depends on establishing a long-term symbiotic relationship between the mycelium and suitable tree roots.

Protective packaging – All items sealed in a resealable zip-lock bag to maintain sterility during transit
About Hedgehog Mushrooms
Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum repandum) is a highly regarded woodland species recognised for the soft tooth-like spines found beneath its cap instead of traditional gills. Its pale cream to orange-buff fruiting bodies and distinctive appearance make it easy to identify and highly prized by mushroom enthusiasts.
This species naturally forms mycorrhizal associations with a variety of hardwood and conifer trees, exchanging nutrients through a mutually beneficial relationship with the root system. Unlike saprophytic mushrooms such as oyster or shiitake, Hedgehog Mushroom cannot be cultivated on standard substrates alone and requires living host trees for successful long-term establishment.
What Is Liquid Culture?
Liquid culture is a nutrient-rich solution made from distilled water and carefully selected carbohydrates such as light malt extract, dextrose, or honey. These nutrients provide an ideal environment for mycelial growth and expansion.
The mycelium suspended within the liquid culture acts as a living inoculant that can be used to inoculate suitable outdoor cultivation projects, tree root zones, or culture expansion media. Liquid culture is often preferred because it allows rapid mycelial distribution and efficient inoculation.
Storage
For optimal viability and vigorous growth, use your Hedgehog Mushroom liquid culture as soon as possible after receipt.
If immediate inoculation is not possible:
Store the sealed syringe in a refrigerator at 2–4°C
Do not freeze
Best used within 3 months of receipt
Laboratory Prepared
All liquid cultures at Artisan Mushrooms are prepared fresh to order in our sterile laboratory using professional laminar flow hood technology. Every culture is carefully produced and packaged to minimise contamination risks and provide reliable, high-quality cultures for your cultivation projects.
