Shiitake Liquid Culture Syringe
Shiitake liquid mycelium prepared from pure mushroom culture. Cultures are made using the finest quality malt and yeast extracts. Liquid mycelium made using pure mushroom cultures is much more effective than liquid cultures made using spores. Colonisation is more even, faster and much more reliable. The consequent grain spawn is 20% more bio-active than grain spawn made using traditional agar wedge techniques.
