Chestnut Mushroom Liquid Culture (10cc)

$24.00

The Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) is a sought-after commercial mushroom strain originating from the west coast. Known for its velvety, brownish-orange caps adorned with speckles, this mushroom resembles the rich hue of its namesake nut. Revered by chefs for its striking appearance and culinary appeal, it typically yields 1-2 pounds during the first flush from a 5-pound block of supplemented sawdust.

Liquid Culture Syringes:

Each liquid culture syringe contains ~10ml of mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich medium. Syringes are beginner-friendly and perfect for inoculating grain bags or jars. Every syringe is sealed in a plastic sleeve and comes with a sterile 18-gauge needle and an alcohol wipe for easy and hygienic use.

How to Use Liquid Culture Syringes:

  • Refrigerate the syringe upon arrival for long term storage.
  • Use a self-healing injection port for inoculation.
  • Always handle the syringe with sterile technique and shake thoroughly before use.
  • To minimize contamination, inoculate in a still air box or under a flow hood.
  • If reusing the needle, sterilize it before and after each use.

With proper care and technique, cultivating this beautiful strain can be both simple and rewarding.
