300cc Liquid Mycelium Culture Starter Kit

Ready to start your own mushroom cultivation project? Our 300cc Liquid Mycelium Culture Starter Kit has everything you need to turn your culinary or medicinal mushroom spores, mycelium or tissue culture into a thriving mushroom mycelium liquid culture, capable of inoculating up to 100 grain spawn jars!

Our liquid culture starter kit includes a glass wide-mouth mason jar and specialized lid, and liquid culture nutrients to provide a source of energy to get your mushroom culture off to a healthy start. Simply mix the nutrients with water in the jar, sterilize the jar in your pressure cooker or Instant Pot, inject your spores or mycelium sample, and watch your culture grow.

Once the mycelium have grown to their full potential, use the blunt-tip dispensing needle to fill all five of the 60cc syringes. The syringes may be used immediately, or stored in the refrigerator for up to six months. When you’re ready to inoculate your grain spawn, attach the included 18 ga needle and inject the liquid culture into your preferred grain.

The kit includes:

• (1) wide mouth (86mm/3.39in) jar*
• (1) lid with self-healing rubber plug installed
• (1) 9ml syringe of liquid culture nutrients
• (3) filter paper stickers
• (1) 5" 12 ga blunt tip Luer Lock dispensing needle (for collecting the culture)
• (1) Clear Luer Lock cap (for the dispensing needle)
• (5) 60cc/mL Luer Lock syringes (to store and dispense the culture)
• (5) Black Luer Lock syringe caps (to cap the syringes for storage)
• (5) 18 gage needles (for dispensing the culture)
• Detailed, printed instructions

In addition to this kit, you'll need:

• A pressure cooker or instant pot

*Tip: Save money on shipping by selecting the kit that doesn’t include the jar and use your own wide-mouth jar. Jar-free kits still include the specialized lid.
