QUESTIONS OR CULTURE CONCERNS
Please contact me through Etsy Messages with your order number and details of your setup. For suspected contamination or a culture that is not growing, please provide clear photos of a test on an agar plate, labeled with the species and inoculation date, plus photos of the syringe and any affected material. Agar testing helps distinguish a culture issue from problems with grain, substrate, or technique. If you have not tested on agar, contact me so we can discuss the next steps. This troubleshooting request does not replace the listing's return policy or Etsy Purchase Protection.

OPTIONAL CULTURE TRACKING
MycoVault is my culture-tracking app: https://mycovault.app. Its free plan lets you track up to four cultures. It is optional and is not needed to use your purchase or get order support. Please keep all order questions and purchases on Etsy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Care instructions

Liquid culture can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months and longer than a year if refrigerated. Grain spawn and substrate should be used within 1-2 weeks of being sterilized.

What is the difference between spores and liquid culture?

A liquid culture syringe is a culture medium that contains small pieces of Mycelium which have already germinated (from spores) and began growing. Often a Liquid culture syringe contains a nutritious liquid (often sterilized) such as honey liquid culture which the Mycelium can feed on and expand.

A spore syringe contains spores suspended in a water solution (often sterilized and distilled). Spores can be viewed in a similar way seeds are viewed in a plant’s life cycle. The difference with spores is that two spores that are a genetic match must meet (under the correct conditions) then germinate to begin their life cycle. A spore syringe will create a Mycelium network with many different genetic lineages inside.

How long does it take to colonize grain spawn?

Generally it takes 3-5 days for visible growth. At this point it is best to shake the grain spawn to redistribute the mycelium. After shaking, the mycelium with rebound and colonize the grain spawn fully in 1-2 weeks.
