10-milliliter sterile medical syringe containing live Stropharia rugosoannulata (Wine Cap Mushroom) Liquid Culture Syringe. Each order includes one sterile, unopened dispensing needle.
Wine Cap mushrooms, scientifically known as Stropharia rugosoannulata, are a robust and adaptable species, renowned for their rapid growth on various types of woody debris. One of their most notable features is their resilience to a wide range of environmental conditions, including an ability to tolerate some levels of sunlight. This characteristic makes them particularly well-suited for integration into vegetable gardens. Their versatility in different environments, coupled with their vigorous growth, positions Wine Caps as an excellent choice for mushroom cultivators and garden enthusiasts seeking to incorporate fungi into their ecosystems.
Morphologically, Wine Cap mushrooms bear a resemblance to portobellos, which aids in their identification. They develop a classic cap-and-stem structure, with their caps notably exhibiting a deep burgundy color. This hue can vary from bright red to purplish shades, depending on sun exposure, and may fade to medium brown. The caps often display fluffy white tufts, particularly near the margins and more prominently in younger mushrooms. The gills of Wine Caps are purple-gray, turning dark purple-brown when filled with spores of the same color. Their flesh and stem are cream to white, featuring a distinctive ring covering the gills in younger stages. As they mature, this ring, which is radially split and not fibrous like Amanitas or cobwebby like Cortinarius, travels down the stem, often breaking off in chunks or resembling a cogwheel. This unique feature further distinguishes Wine Caps in the diverse world of mycology.

How to use a mushroom liquid culture 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.
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.

Before Leaving a Review:
Thank you for choosing Thick Spores! ??
A mushroom liquid culture is living mushroom mycelium suspended within a nourishing nutrient broth, typically stored inside a medical-grade syringe or mason jar.
The nutrient broth is yellow or golden due to the ingredients that it is made with. Once the nutrient broth is pressure-cooked, the nutrients react to the heat inside the pressure cooker as the nutrient broth is sterilized. The reaction is mainly caused by sugars caramelizing.
The nutrient broth is the most critical component of the mushroom liquid culture syringe. Without a proper nutrient broth, the mushroom mycelium will not be able to survive for long. The possibility of receiving mycelium which is weak or dead on arrival is high if the vendor is using internet nutrient broth recipes that are not explicitly designed for the application of mushroom mycelium storage in a small medical-grade syringe.
Thick Spores mushroom liquid culture nutrient broth is unlike any other mushroom liquid culture seller’s nutrient broth on earth! The owner of Thick Spores explicitly designed the nutrient broth for long-term storage in a medical-grade syringe.
