Liquid Culture

Yuantide Bio Mycology Liquid Culture Premix is simply the best product for making your LC. The mycelium really loves it. I had visible mycelium growth within 2 days and the rate of growth was unbelievable after that. I only put 2cc's of "store bought" LC into the sterilized jar. Now I have 500cc's. You can actually use less than recommended 22g of mix for 500ML of water and it still does great. It sure beats buying $15-$30 LC syringes from a company who does the same thing. This will be the only premix I'll use from now on.

Arrived fast and perfect for making LC

It really helps speed up mycelial growth. Fungi absolutely loved this stuff. So far, it is the best I have had.

Arrived as a solid mass in a plastic bottle which I am sure let in moisture. Label suggests that this product is good though its expiration date but there is no date stamped on bottle. I’ll have to chip this product out with an ice pick and then grind it to use it. I would not purchase again.

The liquid culture is very cloudy and foamy, you can't see if the mycelium is growing well.

I recently had the chance to try out the Yuantide liquid culture premix for a mushroom cultivation project, and it's perfect for commercial and personal use. This product is specifically designed to create liquid cultures essential for starting mushroom spores and cultivating new mushrooms. I used shiitake spores for my test, and the results were impressive. The premix is a balanced blend of dextrose, yeast extract, soy peptone, and malt extract. This combination provides the ideal ratio of nutrients that my mycelium thrived on. It's clear that the ingredients, all manufactured in Yuantide's factories, are of high quality and well-suited for mushroom cultivation. The package provides enough powder to prepare over four liters of nutritious broth, which is quite generous and allows for multiple batches. The preparation process is straightforward: I combined twenty-two grams of the premix powder with 500ml of distilled water and sterilized the mixture in a pressure cooker at 15 psi for 35-45 minutes. This process was easy to follow and yielded great results. One of the things I appreciate about this product is its versatility. It's an ideal starting formula for liquid cultures of all types of mushrooms, not just shiitakes. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional grower, this premix can cater to a wide range of needs. Overall, I highly recommend the Yuantide liquid culture premix. It's an excellent product that simplifies starting and maintaining healthy mushroom cultures. The quality of the ingredients and the ease of preparation make it a top choice for anyone interested in mushroom cultivation.

I have seen some vendors offer mushroom growing media and the like at prices where you think they must be using gold! But this company has done it right, and offered a quality product at a reasonable price. From the few bottles of liquid culture I've made up so far the mycelium has taken to it very nicely, and don't worry about measuring the different ingredients like you may have done in the past! Also, the liquid culture media was easy to sterilize in my pressure cooker, and didn't turn a hazy yellow color like all my home made brews in the past. My experience with this liquid culture has been fast growth and nothing but positive experiences, definitely recommend checking this out for growing your gourmet mushies!!

Ordered one. Showed up in the bottle as a solid mass. Initiated a return, opted for replacement, it also arrived solid as a rock. As far as I can tell, you’ll need to figure out how to grind these rocks into powder.
