    Product description

    The Maitake Liquid Culture Syringe contains liquid mycelium, produced from pure mushroom cultures with high-quality malt and yeast extracts. This liquid mycelium is more effective than that prepared with spores, provides faster, more even colonization and the final grain brood is 20% more active than that prepared with conventional techniques. The Maitake mushroom, also known as Grifola frondosa, is a type of fungal fruit body traditionally used in Asian cuisine and medicine. In recent years, scientific studies have drawn attention to the potential health benefits of this mushroom. Whether used in dishes, as a supplement, or for its health benefits, the Maitake mushroom remains beloved.

    Contents

    These items are further packaged in a zip-lock bag to further protect against contamination.

    • 1x 20ml liquid culture in a syringe
    • 1x alcohol swab
    • 1x sterile needle

    Use

    • Add 1-2ml per 1L jar of sterilised grain.
    • Shake the liquid culture well before use
    • Be patient after inoculation. Maitake mycelium has slow and sometimes irregular growth. It may appear as if no growth is taking place, but the process has probably already started.

    After use

    • Store it again in the fridge.
    • Dry the needle thoroughly with a new alcohol wipe before replacing the protective cap to prevent rust.
    • Optional: use a lighter to heat the needle and evaporate any remaining water. Then let it cool before replacing the cap.
    • Put the liquid culture in a ziplock bag for extra protection and place it back in the fridge.

    These instructions will ensure that the liquid culture remains effective and usable for as long as possible.

    What substrate do we grow on?

    Large-scale cultivation of Maitake requires a specific bulk substrate. You can use various hardwoods for this, such as hardwoods (poplar, oak, alder, maple, birch, ash, beech, elm) mixed with bran. Another popular mix is the 'master's mix', which contains an equal ratio of hardwood sawdust and soybean hulls. Should you prefer a more natural approach, it is also possible to cultivate Maitake outdoors directly on hardwood logs.
