This commercial strain is fast at colonizing, fruits in a wide range of temperatures, and produces a heavy first flush of beautiful, tasty shiitake mushrooms.  This strain averages 1.25 lbs from a 5 lb supplemented sawdust block on the first flush.  An additional 3 or more flushes are possible by resting the block, re-hydrating and striking the block in-between flushes.  Like clockwork, with high humidity in the fruiting room on day 4 or 5, pins form and a week later you'll have terrific shiitake mushrooms!

Colonizing Temperature:
65 to 78 F

Fruiting Temperature:
50 to 80 F

All commercial liquid cultures come in a sterile syringe containing 10-12ml of live mushroom liquid culture (living mycelium in a nutrient solution).  The syringe is capped and a sterile needle is included.  Liquid cultures are guaranteed to be 100% clean and actively growing!

Commercial cultures have been tested for growing performance and biological efficiency to measure colonization speed and ensure that mushroom yields produce up to commercial standards.  We don't sell it if we can't grow it and produce consistent commercial results.
