Shiitake Liquid Culture – 10 ml Sterile Syringe
Species: Lentinula edodes | Prepared in the UK
Shiitake develops firm, crackled caps and a deep, wood‑smoked umami that stands up well in broths, sautés and drying. A reliable favourite for cool‑season blocks and traditional log culture.
About This Culture
This 10 ml syringe contains actively growing Shiitake mycelium suspended in a nutrient broth, produced under sterile workflow. Use it to start grain jars or bags, transfer to agar, or expand to fresh liquid culture in clean conditions.
Included
- 1 × 10 ml Shiitake liquid culture syringe
- 1 × sterile needle
- 1 × alcohol wipe
- 1 × natural hemp bag (outer packaging)
Reusable Hemp Bag
The syringe and wipe ship inside an undyed hemp bag. Feel free to fill the bag with a substrate of your choice (e.g., coffee grounds mixed with sawdust) after pasteurising to create a small, plastic‑free gift grow kit for a friend or classroom project.
Use
- Shake to disperse mycelium.
- Clean the injection point (grain bag port or jar lid) with the alcohol wipe.
- Attach sterile needle; flame if working outside filtered air.
- Inject 1–2 ml per grain jar or ~3–5 ml per 1 kg grain bag.
- Incubate grain at 22–24 °C for roughly 12–14 days, shaking once at 30–50 % if desired.
- Spawn to supplemented hardwood sawdust (e.g., 80 % oak/birch sawdust : 20 % wheat bran) at 10–15 % spawn rate.
- Block phase: incubate 22–24 °C until fully white (≈30 days), then brown at 18–20 °C for 14 days, cold‑shock at 4 °C for 24 h, and fruit at 14–18 °C with high humidity.
Storage
Refrigerate at 2–6 °C on arrival. Best used within 2–3 weeks; commonly viable up to ~2 months unopened. Do not freeze.
