- Prepare the solution: Open the mushroom liquid culture syringe and make sure that the aqueous solution is clear, other than the mycelium. If the aqueous solution is cloudy, discard it and start with a new one.
- Prepare a microscopy slide or sanitize the area to be penetrated by the dispensing needle
- Dispense a small amount of the solution onto a microscopy slide, or inject 1 milliliter into the container you will use through a self-healing injection port.
Tips and Tricks for successful usage:
- Always be as clean as possible.
- Wear clean clothing.
- Practice good oral hygiene.
- Wear new gloves every time.
- Wipe all surfaces, including gloves, with disinfectant.

Advantages of a liquid culture syringe over a spore syringe
A liquid culture syringe has a significant advantage over a spore syringe in terms of the time you do not have to wait for germination. A liquid culture syringe will save you weeks to months in your endeavor. Another advantage is that liquid cultures can be advanced genetic isolates that can outperform spores. Thick Spores sells only genetically isolated LC.
Shelf Life & Storage
Liquid Culture syringes have a shelf life of approximately three months before the nutrient broth becomes depleted of nutrients. Therefore, you must either use the LC before three months or transfer the mycelium in the syringe to a new and sterile medium with fresh nutrients.

Another strong culture. I’ve only tried establishing a liquid culture jar with this so far. It enitaly looked like there was some bacterial contamination in my lc solution but the mycelium managed to overcome it. It definitely seems strong.

I ordered Mazatapec spores from a different supplier. It was contaminated. I complained and never heard back from them. Not this guy though! The product was pristine, the syringe was loaded with mycelium, and colonization was clearly visible after just a couple of days. Brilliant! Their service and dispatch also top shelf. Only ordering here from now on.
