What You Receive:
- One freshly prepared 10 mL liquid culture syringe
- Syringe supplied closed and securely capped
- One sterile needle
- One alcohol preparation wipe
Freshly Prepared and Contamination-Screened:
Every syringe is prepared fresh under sterile conditions after your order is received. A sample is placed on sterile agar in a Petri dish to screen for contamination before the order is released for shipping.
Please allow 1–3 business days for the culture to complete this contamination-screening period before dispatch.
Quality Guarantee:
We stand behind the quality of our cultures. In the unlikely event that your liquid culture arrives contaminated, contact us promptly with clear photographs and we will send a replacement at no additional charge.
Proper sterile technique must be used after opening, as contamination introduced during handling, inoculation, or storage is outside our control.
Storage:
Keep the capped syringe refrigerated and protected from direct light. The culture may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months, but we recommend using it as soon as possible to maintain vigorous growth and reduce the risk of declining culture performance or senescence.
Do not freeze. Gently shake the syringe before use to redistribute the mycelium.
Important Information:
This product does not include a cultivation manual. Customers should research the appropriate substrate, incubation requirements, fruiting temperatures, humidity, fresh-air exchange, and other growing conditions for King Oyster mushrooms before purchasing.
Liquid culture appearance naturally varies. Healthy mycelium may appear as cloudy, wispy, stringy, or suspended white growth within the nutrient solution.
For gourmet mushroom cultivation only. Do not inject into humans or animals.
