Liquid culture is a method of propagating mushrooms using a nutrient-rich liquid solution. This syringe contains a live Cordyceps Militaris culture, ready to be injected into sterilized grain or other suitable substrates to start your mushroom growing journey.

Potential Benefits of Cordyceps Militaris:

  • May boost energy and stamina
  • Supports immune system function
  • Could enhance athletic performance
  • Traditional use for respiratory health
  • Potential antioxidant properties

Using Our Cordyceps Militaris Liquid Culture Syringe

  1. Prepare a sterilized substrate (grain jars are common).
  2. Under sterile conditions, inject a small amount of the liquid culture into your substrate.
  3. Incubate in a suitable environment (refer to our Cordyceps growing guide [link to guide]).

Growing Cordyceps mushrooms using a liquid culture syringe involves several options: agar expansion, liquid culture expansion, and substrate inoculation. Here are detailed instructions for each stage:

Materials Needed:

  • 10cc Cordyceps liquid culture syringe
  • Agar plates (pre-prepared or homemade)
  • Sterilized grain jars (e.g., brown rice, millet, or another suitable grain)
  • Sterilized substrate (e.g., a mix of brown rice flour, vermiculite, and water)
  • Sterile gloves
  • Alcohol wipes
  • Flame source (e.g., lighter or alcohol lamp)
  • Clean working area (preferably a still air box or a laminar flow hood)
  • Pressure cooker or autoclave (for sterilizing substrate)
  • Sterile water and containers for liquid culture
  • Aluminum foil
  • Masking tape and labels

Step 1: Agar Expansion

    • Prepare Agar Plates: If using homemade agar plates, prepare the agar medium (e.g., potato dextrose agar or malt extract agar) and pour into sterile petri dishes. Allow the agar to solidify.
    • Sterilize Tools: Clean your working area thoroughly. Sterilize your scalpel and inoculating loop by heating until red-hot. Allow them to cool.
    • Set Up a Clean Work Area: Use a still air box or laminar flow hood. Wear sterile gloves and disinfect them with alcohol.
    • Inoculate the Agar: Flame sterilize the needle of the syringe until it glows red, then let it cool. Inject a small amount (1-2 drops) of the Cordyceps liquid culture onto the agar plate. Use the sterile inoculating loop to spread the culture evenly across the agar surface.
    • Seal the Plates: Close the petri dishes and seal the edges with parafilm or plastic wrap to prevent contamination.
    • Store the Plates: Place the inoculated plates in a dark, warm area with a stable temperature of 68-77°F (20-25°C).
    • Monitor Growth: Check the plates periodically for signs of mycelial growth, which should appear within a week. Fully colonized agar will be covered in white mycelium.

Step 2: Liquid Culture Expansion

    • Prepare Liquid Culture Medium: Mix 4% honey or light malt extract with water and pour into sterilizable containers (e.g., jars with self-healing injection ports). Sterilize the medium in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes at 15 psi. Allow to cool.
    • Sterilize Tools: Sterilize a syringe and needle, as well as any other equipment you will use.
    • Set Up a Clean Work Area: Use a still air box or laminar flow hood. Wear sterile gloves and disinfect them with alcohol.
    • Inoculate the Liquid Culture: Flame sterilize the needle, let it cool, and inject 1-2cc of the Cordyceps liquid culture into the sterilized liquid medium through the injection port. Seal the port with sterile tape.
    • Mix Thoroughly: Shake the jar gently to distribute the culture throughout the liquid.
    • Store the Jars: Place the inoculated liquid culture jars in a dark, warm area at 68-77°F (20-25°C).
    • Monitor Growth: Agitate the jars daily to ensure even distribution of the mycelium. The liquid culture should show signs of mycelial growth within a week and be ready for use within 2-3 weeks.

Step 3: Substrate Inoculation

    • Prepare the Substrate: Mix your substrate ingredients (e.g., 2 parts brown rice flour, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part water) and fill your jars about 2/3 full. Sterilize the substrate in a pressure cooker at 15 psi for 90 minutes. Allow to cool.
    • Sterilize Tools: Clean your working area thoroughly. Sterilize a syringe needle and any other tools you will use.
    • Set Up a Clean Work Area: Use a still air box or laminar flow hood. Wear sterile gloves and disinfect them with alcohol.
    • Inoculate the Jars: Flame sterilize the needle, let it cool, and inject 1-2cc of the Cordyceps liquid culture from the expanded liquid culture jar into each sterilized substrate jar. Distribute the culture evenly.
    • Seal the Jars: Cover the inoculation site with sterile micropore tape to prevent contamination.
    • Store the Jars: Place the inoculated jars in a dark, warm area at 68-77°F (20-25°C). Maintain humidity levels around 70-75%.
    • Monitor Growth: Check the jars periodically for signs of colonization. The substrate should be fully colonized within a few weeks, appearing white and fuzzy.
