Day 1Colonize and Shake

Shiitake Liquid Culture Syringe 10ml - Lentinula Edodes 7869
Each syringe contains 10ml of fully colonized Lentinula edodes mycelium - our Lentinula Edodes 7869 commercial strain that we use in our own mushroom farm production at Freshrooms.
Why Freshrooms Cultures
Every batch goes through agar purity testing before shipping. The cultures we send you are the exact ones we rely on to grow mushrooms on our own farm. If we were not confident in them, we would not use them ourselves.
