10ml Summer Oyster Liquid Culture

SKU: LC-PP10ML

This liquid culture can be inoculated on sterilised grains to make mother spawn. This species generates a large yield of light-dark grey oyster mushrooms. This is the warm species of the Pleurotus ostreatus species. Appearance can vary depending on fruiting conditions. One of the quickest growing mushrooms you can cultivate.

 

All our liquid cultures are made inside our sterile laboratory that is being filtered by a HEPA14 filter whilst maintaing a sterile technique. More than 99.995% of particles above 0.3 µm are filtered, ensuring a sterile environment. Your liquid culture will come in a sterile bag alongside a needle, that once opened should be used as soon as possible to decrease the risk of contaminants.

 

We aim to have all our liquid cultures ready to dispatch whenever there is an order, but because it is a growing mycelium sometimes dispatch may take longer. We will get in touch if this is the case.
