Instructions for Use
Preparation:
- Sanitize your work area: Use alcohol wipes or a disinfectant to clean all surfaces. Wear gloves and a mask to minimize contamination risk.
- Prepare substrate: Shiitake grows best on hardwood sawdust, supplemented sawdust blocks, or sterilized grain jars. Ensure your substrate is properly sterilized and cooled.
Inoculation Steps:
- Shake the Syringe: Gently shake the syringe to evenly distribute the mycelium in the solution.
- Attach the Needle: Remove the syringe cap and attach the sterile needle provided.
- Sterilize the Injection Point: If using jars or bags, clean the inoculation point (self-healing port or filter patch) with an alcohol prep pad.
- Inject the Liquid Culture: Insert the needle through the inoculation point and slowly inject 1-2 ml of liquid culture per jar or bag.
- Avoid injecting too much liquid to prevent oversaturation.
- Seal and Store: Reseal your jar or bag and place it in a clean, dark area at temperatures between 65°F - 75°F (18°C - 24°C).
Colonization Period:
- Allow 10-21 days for the mycelium to fully colonize the substrate.
- Regularly monitor for signs of healthy white mycelial growth.
- If contamination (e.g., odd colors, smells) is noticed, discard the affected substrate.
Storage Instructions
