What is liquid culture?

Chicken of the Woods liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth composed of distilled water, light malt extract, dextrose, and natural sugars such as honey, formulated to support vigorous mycelial growth.
This actively growing mycelium acts as the “seed” for mushroom cultivation, enabling rapid, even inoculation of grow kits or bulk substrates and providing a strong starting point for your mushroom growing journey with Artisan Mushrooms Ireland.

Storage and quality standards

For best performance, use your Chicken of the Woods liquid culture as soon as possible to maintain maximum freshness and vitality.
If immediate use is not possible, store the syringe refrigerated at around 4°C for up to 3 months; every culture is prepared fresh under aseptic laboratory conditions with a laminar flow hood and rigorously tested on agar and grain to ensure premium quality and contamination-free results.
