All our mushroom cultures are only one to two transfers away from the 1st generation mother culture to ensure a vibrant, healthy, and fast-growing product.
Each liquid mushroom culture syringe contains 12 cc's of mycelium suspended in a nutrient broth solution or commonly referred to as a liquid culture. Unlike many vendors, our cultures do not contain honey, we use a special clear recipe so you can see exactly what you're getting. Your mushroom culture is guaranteed to arrive 100% viable and completely contamination-free ready to inoculate a substrate of your choice.
You may use your LC Syringe right away, or store it in its mylar container in the refrigerator for 6 months or longer!
Your order with us today will contain:
(1) sterile 12 ml syringe with locking cap and selected strain.
(1) mylar syringe sleeve for long-term storage.
(2) alcohol pads.
(1) 18 gauge needle.
WE SHIP EVERYWHERE
Worldwide shipping makes us the most turned to mushroom culture producer/distributor in the world. If you canï¾’t find it in your country, we have you covered and our shipping time is considerably less than what you may expect.
Strain information:
Florida Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus Florida
This is a warm temperature strain. They develop into medium size(average 5 cm diam.), funnel-shaped fruitbodies with elongated stems. Their colour varies, with increasing light intensity and temperature, from light-beige to greyish blue. The shelf life of the mushrooms is inversely proportional to the cultivation temperature.

Valorisation of agricultural wastes is one of the main objectives for activity optimization in agriculture industry. One method for waste utilization implies their use as substrate for obtaining edible mushrooms, which are a raw material of interest in current food industry. The aim of the paper was the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida species, on diverse common plant wastes. The species had good fructification, resulting numerous pins on the surface of the substrate, the cap diameter reaching a maximum of 4 to 5 cm. The color of the basidium was brighter, because the cultivation temperatures were above 20°C most of the time. The fructification time decreased with the increase of inoculation rate. Although major differences haven’t been determined for morphological characteristics of the fructification body, the supplementation of the substrate formula with other components determined approximately 10% increase in productivity. The study proved that applying supplements to the substrate formula lead to the optimization of valorisation of plant wastes taken into consideration. Also, the use of supplements did not stimulate infection rate of the substrate.
