King Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe (fufufungu)

Fufufungu - King Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe: Grow King Oysters Fast!

This liquid culture for king oyster—Pleurotus eryngii—will have you growing these popular and delicious edible mushrooms in no time!

A liquid culture allows for the super-fast colonisation of your desired substrate. For king oyster mycelium, the best substrates are straw or indoor grow bags with supplemented sawdust or masters mix. Under optimal conditions, a substrate can become fully colonised within a couple of weeks of being inoculated with a liquid culture, which is much faster than if you used a spore solution!

King oyster mushrooms grow to have caps with a diameter of 3–10cm. They have a meaty taste and texture, and can be used as an ingredient in a range of meals, often being the main ingredient in a dish. Primarily, they are used in East Asian cooking, but they can be adapted to different cuisines too.

These liquid cultures offer quick and easy home growth of king oyster mushrooms. Get growing!

Includes:

• 1x 20ml liquid culture syringe
• 2x alcohol wipes
• 1x sterilised needle

Recommended Use

• Use within 2 months after delivery. Store in a cool, dark place such as the refrigerator. Protect from UV light.
• 2–5ml per litre/quart jar of sterilised grain.
• Shake well before use. This helps to loosen the mycelium, ensuring an even distribution when applying the liquid to different substrates/spawn containers.
• After use, the liquid culture should be stored in the refrigerator. Dry thoroughly before replacing the protective cover to prevent rust from forming on the needle.
• Additionally, you can heat the needle with a lighter to evaporate residual water, before allowing it to cool. Once cool, replace the protective cover, secure the LC in a ziplock bag, and store it in the refrigerator.

Important Considerations

• While more LC generally leads to faster colonisation, it’s not recommended to exceed 5ml per litre/quart jar.
• For grain still moist after hydration/sterilisation, less LC per litre/quart jar is safer, as excess water can lead to bacterial growth.
