Organic Wine Cap Mushroom Liquid Culture Syringe
Species difficulty | Beginner |
Volume | 10 cc / 10 ml |
Lab skills | Beginner |
Shelf life | 2 months (refrigerated) |
Certifications | USDA certified organic |
Wine Cap (Stropharia rugoso-annulata) is a delicious mushroom with a mild, earthy, and nutty flavor (some even describe the flavor as a cross between artichokes and potatoes.) It is an ideal mushroom for beginners as it colonizes quickly and yields reliable flushes. Wine Caps are also good for commercial cultivation grown on straw or wood chips.
Our liquid culture syringes are ~10ml and come sealed in a plastic sleeve with a sterile 16 gauge needle and alcohol wipe.
About liquid culture:
Liquid culture is mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich medium. Syringes are beginner-friendly and ideal for those looking for an easy way to inoculate grain bags and jars.
Directions for use:
For best results, refrigerate upon receipt. Syringes should be inserted into a self-healing injection port. Always handle using sterile technique and shake thoroughly before use. We recommended inoculation in either a still air box or flow hood to reduce the possibility of contamination. If you plan to re-use your needle, sterilize before and after each subsequent use.

Aggressive Genetics
Wine cap are known for their rigorous growth and decomp of organic matter and North Spore has kept those genes strong and healthy. After testing out the wine cap saw dust spawn I wanted to test the LC syringe and boy am I impressed! I scavenged some fine hardwood shavings from a family workshop and simply hydrated them and placed them in a grow bag and inoculated. Colonized fully in just over a week and is now actively breaking down the organic matter in my garden beds. Would definitely recommend this mushroom for improving soil since it can migrate more aggressively than other mushrooms. Thanks North Spore!

Great!
Very aggressive, expanded and have been trying on different subs and wow... the results are amazing across the board.

Wine Cap Liquid Culture
So far this culture is proving to be excellent - transfered some of the liquid mycelium from the syringe into my own jar of sterilized / prepared liquid culture broth and it took off like wildfire. Very excited to begin inoculating sawdust spawn and growing out this culture once the weather gets warmer.

Was satisfied with shelf life and delivery time. As well as rate of colonization.

Thanks for the great review, Spencer! We really appreciate your support.
Blue Oyster and Wine Cap liquid cultures have arrived! Woo-Hoo!
My experience exceeded my expectations! I sent an email explaining the fact that I am new to mushroom growing! I am going to grow the mushrooms outdoors so I had many questions and concerns. My conversation with Lou addressed everything ... including assistance on which varieties (for newbies he suggested Blue Oyster and Wine Cap) I could grow in given locations ... what the varieties needed to grow and so much more. Believe me, please, I studied the North Spore website for weeks! I watched every video so could ask questions that made sense and applied to MY situation (remember, I am new to this). Lou was very patient with me and explained everything. I know I will have more questions but I know the concerns will be addressed completely. I retired yesterday and have begun to get my garden area ready for vegetables and mushrooms (lasagna!). I am also putting more mulch around my oak trees and in the more shaded areas around my deck. Tonight it dawned on me that I could hang buckets on the branches of the oaks, it's shady there! I still have some things to purchase for my projects but it's still early. I will be expanding the liquid syringes using the broth recipe found on the North Spore website. While I was waiting for the LC to arrive I made two batches of "soup". I will update this review as the season progresses. Until then, thank you Lou. Thank you so much, you made me feel like family. God Bless you and everyone at North Spore! Big Hugs!
