Liquid Culture Syringes

Shop a curated lineup of high-quality, lab-prepared syringe cultures for fast and contaminant-free inoculation. Each syringe contains live, vigorous mycelium suspended in nutrient broth, ready to inject directly into sterilized grain bags, jars, or liquid media.

Mushroom Syringe Culture Frequently Asked Questions

A liquid culture syringe contains living mushroom mycelium suspended in a sterile, nutrient-rich liquid (commonly a mix of sugars and water). It’s used to quickly inoculate sterile substrates like grain bags, agar plates, or other liquid cultures to start mushroom growth.

Liquid culture contains live mycelium — ready to grow immediately.
Spore syringes contain dormant spores that need time to germinate before colonizing.

This means liquid culture colonizes substrates faster and more reliably than spores.

  • Faster colonization and stronger growth
  • Lower contamination risk (if handled properly)
  • Ideal for scaling up — one syringe can inoculate multiple bags or jars

Inject the liquid directly into a sterile grain bag, sterilized jar, or liquid culture medium through an injection port.

Always work in a clean or sterile environment to minimize contamination.
