Wine Cap Mushroom Liquid Culture

Cultivation difficulty: High

Stropharia rugosoannulata

Includes 11ml liquid culture.

Recommended use: Use the syringe to inoculate your own agar plates and liquid culture media to expand the mycelium and generate spawn.

For optimal results place corrugated cardboard down that has been saturated in water. Then mix 50:50 hardwood sawdust and woodchips, slowly adding water and mixing constantly in a pile. Enough water has been added when you can pick up a handful and some sawdust will ball together, but water does not squeeze out more than a drop (Moisture content = 60-65%).

Spread a 4” depth of this mixture onto the wet cardboard. Then rake in either grain or sawdust spawn to the spread at a rate of 1 lb for every 2-3 sq.ft. You will have faster better results with more spawn per sq.ft.

That’s it, sit back and watch. It should take 4-6 months of growing to sustain a crop. I like to plant veggies into those cardboard spaces after spawning like peppers, broccoli, kale, strawberries or blueberries, etc.


Storage: Can be left at room temperature for up to 6 months, and refrigerated for longer than 1 year.
