Chestnut Liquid Culture

Our Chestnut liquid culture grows mushrooms in beautiful dense clusters that are just as wonderful to eat as they are to look at. Chestnut mushrooms have velvety dark orange speckled caps, similar in color to their eponymous nut. They have a light mushroom taste with plenty of umami that will enhance any dish with deep flavor and a pop of bright color. When cultivating this strain, Chestnut mushrooms prefer slightly colder temperatures. After inoculation, chestnut mycelium colonizes best at around 68F during incubation. When ready to initiate fruiting conditions, aim for a temperature of around 65F. Chestnuts prefer high humidity and fresh air exchange 2 to 3 times a day. Chestnut mushrooms grow on hardwood sawdust and master’s mix (50% hardwood sawdust, 50% soybean hulls). You’d have to be nuts not to love this strain.

TOP-TIER GENETICS

Our team of geneticists work diligently to make sure the strains of our mushroom liquid culture are top-of-the-line. We focus on isolating characteristics such as resistance to contamination, size of mature mushrooms, and speed of growth. We never release a new strain until we feel we’ve gotten it to an extremely high-level of performance and we’re constantly investing in the improvement of our genetics.

OUR EXPERIENCE

We are a team of mycologists with over 30 years of combined experience creating high-performing and contamination-resistant liquid cultures.

WHY WE GIVE AWAY OUR PROFIT

When we started MYYCO, we decided that making a beneficial impact was more important than profits and that the mushroom world was the wrong place for a profit-first mentality. MYYCO is a Certified Benefit Corporation. 100% of profits from every liquid culture we sell are donated to 501(c)(3) organizations performing groundbreaking studies on the beneficial powers of certain mushroom species. This means that we pay our expenses, keep a small cash stipend on hand for future expenses, and then donate the rest! Our current beneficiaries are MAPS, John Hopkins, and Heroic Hearts. Visit our Donation section to learn more and view our donation records.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP
