Liquid culture syringes - Ready-to-use mycelium

Liquid culture syringes

Liquid culture syringes contain live mycelium suspended in a nutritious sugar solution, which acts as a preservation medium and food. This format allows the mycelium to remain active and ready to colonize a new substrate, reducing waiting times and minimizing contamination risk.

Differences between spore syringes and mycelium syringes

Unlike spore syringes, which only contain dormant fungal cells, liquid culture syringes already incorporate mycelium in growth phase. This means that after inoculation, the mycelium doesn't need to germinate from scratch, which accelerates substrate colonization and increases cultivation success rate.

Advantages of liquid culture syringes

This method is appreciated by both beginner and experienced cultivators due to its multiple benefits:

  • Rapid colonization: the mycelium is already active, which accelerates fruiting body formation.
  • Lower contamination risk: the sterile medium and syringe format reduce pathogen exposure.
  • High efficiency: a single syringe can inoculate multiple substrates.
  • Higher success rate: germination is more reliable compared to using spores exclusively.
  • Genetic preservation: maintains the original characteristics of the cultivated variety.
  • Adaptability: suitable for different substrate types, especially grains.
  • Error reduction: by working with developed mycelium, inoculation failures are minimized.
  • Stability: less vulnerable to temperature and humidity changes.

Thanks to these characteristics, liquid culture syringes are considered an essential tool in applied mycology, facilitating a more agile, efficient and safe process for domestic mushroom cultivation.
