Tiered Tooth Liquid Culture – 10 ml Sterile Syringe

Species: Hericium cirrhatum (Tiered Tooth)  |  Prepared in the UK

Tiered Tooth (also called “Tier Tooth”) forms layered fans edged with fine, hanging spines. When cooked it turns tender with a light, shellfish-leaning sweetness—excellent torn into flakes for quick sautés, creamy pastas and seafood-style dishes.


About This Culture

This 10 ml syringe contains actively growing Hericium cirrhatum mycelium in nutrient broth, prepared under a sterile workflow. Use it to inoculate grain jars or bags, transfer to agar, or expand into fresh liquid culture in clean conditions.


Included

  • 1 × 10 ml Tiered Tooth 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. After pasteurising, you can fill the bag with a substrate of your choice (e.g., coffee grounds mixed with sawdust) to create a small, plastic-free gift grow kit for a friend or classroom project.


Culinary Notes & Use Ideas

  • Taste & texture: delicate, mildly sweet and seafood-leaning; tears into flakes that brown well.
  • Quick wins: pan-fry in butter with lemon and parsley; fold into risotto; cream-sauce pasta; “crab-style” cakes bound with potato or chickpea.
  • Pairs with: garlic, white wine, dill or tarragon, seaweed flakes, smoked paprika, capers, new potatoes.

Use

  1. Shake to disperse mycelium.
  2. Clean the injection point (grain bag port or jar lid) with the alcohol wipe.
  3. Attach sterile needle; flame-sterilise if working outside filtered air.
  4. Inject 1–2 ml per grain jar or ~3–5 ml per 1 kg grain bag (adjust to your workflow).
  5. Incubate grain at 20–24 °C until fully colonised; shake once at ~30–50 % if desired.
  6. Spawn to hardwood-based substrates (e.g., supplemented sawdust or Master’s Mix) at ~10–20 % spawn rate.
  7. Fruit at 16–20 °C with high humidity and gentle fresh-air exchange to encourage long, tidy spines.

Storage

Store refrigerated at 2–6 °C. Best within 2–3 weeks; typically viable up to ~2 months unopened. Do not freeze.


Batch Notes

  • Produced in small lots; visually checked on agar before dispatch.
  • Light sediment is normal—shake before use.

Low-Impact Growing Notes (Tiered Tooth, UK)

  • British hardwood friendly: performs on sawdust blends based on common UK hardwoods and by-products.
  • Temperate fruiting: reliable development at 16–20 °C suits typical UK indoor temps without heavy heating.
  • Short-chain ready: compact clusters handle short local routes—farm shop, veg-box, kitchen—keeping miles and chill time down.
