Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota Adiposa) Liquid Culture Syringe Sample for Mushroom Cultivation Growing on Agar or Grain

I was worried when I first got it. It looked quite dead. I believe it was due to the heat during shipping as it is middle of summer. I put it into a LC Bath and in about 4 days it began to grow quite well! Very happy customer! Strong genetics!

What they don't tell you is that morels are mycorrhizal. They need to inoculate the roots of a living plant.I'm more a soil enthusiast than a mycology expert. Wasn't sure which plants the morel would form relationship with, so over the last year I've bought three of these and distributed them in different parts of my garden. Sprayed directly onto my apple tree roots, injected near other perennials, and into active vegetable beds.Something worked, because this is the first fruit! Side of the new garden bed. I'm going to let it sporulate and acclimate to my local environment better, but I'm very happy with this.

The syringe arrived with 4 or 5 globs visible. I purchased a sterilized bag of substrate and followed the instructions. The mycellium never grew/spawned.

I was not impressed with the amount of mycelium present as the syringe did not contain much at all compared to other reviewers.Never the less I planted it; some in used coffee grounds with ground wheat flakes and the other half in hardwood pellets and ground wheat flakes. Both appear to be growing a healthy amount of mycelium.Since there was not much mycelium in the syringe compared to the growth medium I was unable to instill any into a log as I had hoped.

I am not a mushroom expert so it would have been nice if instructions were included in the package. For example, where to plant, when to plant, and care after planting. I was hoping to seed my property with these mushrooms. I was not growing in a controlled environment so instructions would have been great. I checked the website. They have a rap video about the company but no documentation. The company doesn't get it.

I have made several order from this store, and have been impressed with the product. Even when there was a problem they were on top of it right away, and fixed things more than what was necessary. When it comes to liquid cultures this is my go to store. Look no further.

Growing well in liquid culture and grain spawn.

I apologize I recently said you your LC was not good but after a couple of days, it was doing just fine in the mixing process. Thank You
