Shiitake liquid culture produces a delicious mushroom that has been wildly popular in Asia for centuries. Their flavor can best be described as a combination of rich and savory mixed with umami. Characterized by medium-to-large brown caps, shiitake mushrooms traditionally grow in nature on fallen logs which is how they got their name—Shiitake is a Japanese word that literally translates to a mushroom (“take”) growing on a “Shii” tree (a type of chinquapin tree that is ideal for growing shiitakes). These nutritious and sturdy mushrooms are easy to grow for all skill levels, especially in warm and moist climates, and are a welcome addition to just about any meal you can imagine. Shiitake mushrooms take longer to grow than most mushrooms but the fruits decay slower, so you have a long window for cooking and consuming them after they are harvested. It will generally take 2 to 3 months for Shitake to fully colonize a bag of substrate. After the bag is colonized it will slowly turn brown. Once the bag is mostly brown, it’s ready to be introduced to fruiting conditions. After full colonization, Shiitake mushrooms take about 1 week to produce fruit bodies and will produce 3 to 5 flushes. They grow best on hardwood sawdust, and supplemented sawdust mix.
If your MYYCO mushroom liquid culture syringe is contaminated or you’re unhappy for any reason, we will replace or refund your order. Simple as that. Reach out to us at [email protected] if any issues occur during your microscopy research.
MYYCO was created to offer a superior alternative to mushroom spores. Unlike spores, making liquid cultures reduces the chances of contamination and allows for more healthy specimens that have a better chance of avoiding contamination during your microscopy research.
We are a team of mycologists with over 30 years of combined experience creating contamination-resistant liquid cultures. Our 2,000 square foot mycology research lab is equipped with state-of-the-art mycology and sterilization equipment to ensure that every MYYCO syringe that leaves our facility has been medically sterilized.
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. Our current beneficiaries are MAPS, John Hopkins, and Heroic Hearts. Visit our Donation section to learn more and view our donation records.
Shoot us an email at [email protected] at any time during your microscopy research and one of our mycologists will answer you within 24 hours. Please note, we cannot answer any questions regarding the growth of our psilocybe cubensis liquid cultures. Our cubensis liquid cultures are sold strictly for microscopy research. We will not answer any questions regarding the growth of this culture. We will cancel all orders from anyone who contacts us and mentions growth and they will be placed on a blacklist that prevents them from ordering in the future.
