Mushroom Liquid Cultures: How, Why and Where to Buy
When it comes to home scale mushroom cultivation, we at the Fungi Academy believe in the power of mushroom liquid cultures! Why? They’re easy and cheap to make, extremely scalable, colonize grains far quicker than agar cultures and can be used to make endless more liquid cultures or to inoculate grains in non-sterile environments. Compared to other growing techniques, that’s unprecedented for small-scale growers. These reasons are why we’ll soon begin to offer liquid cultures on our website, courtesy of the Mushroom Liquid Culture King, Paul of Fungaia. In this spirit, we thought we’d provide a primer on the basics of mushroom liquid culture.
What is a mushroom liquid culture?
A mushroom liquid culture is just living mycelium inside lightly nutritious water. A basic, common recipe for this nutritious water mixture is 500 millimeters of filtered, non-chlorinated water combined with 10 grams of honey, light malt extract, or some other simple, easily fermentable sugar.
What’s the difference between a mushroom liquid culture and a spore syringe?
As we just learned, a mushroom liquid culture is basically just mycelium growing in liquid. Spores and spore syringes, on the other hand, are not mycelium. Spores must first germinate before they can begin to form mycelium. So, when you inoculate a substrate with spores/spore syringe, it must first germinate before it begins to grow mycelium. Conversely, when you inoculate a substrate with a mushroom liquid culture, it starts growing (more) mycelium almost immediately.
What are some of the benefits of mushroom liquid cultures?
We think the greatest benefit of mushroom liquid cultures is that once you have a clean mushroom liquid culture to work with, you can inoculate grains in a non-sterile environment like your kitchen counter.
This means there’s no need for a Still Air Box or a flow hood, substantially lowering the barrier to entry in small-scale home mushroom cultivation. Since the risk of contamination is so low, this also means less failure, which is what often discourages beginners from continuing on their mushroom cultivation journey. Some other benefits of mushroom liquid cultures are the fast colonization rates—the more liquid culture you use, the faster the colonization—the ease of making and expanding mushroom liquid cultures, and how cheap they are to produce. Even in today’s wacky world, water and honey are pretty easy to find for a couple bucks.
What are some of the challenges of working with mushroom liquid cultures?
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention a couple drawbacks of mushroom liquid cultures. For one, when you first make a liquid culture, it is prone to contamination. That’s why we recommend beginner growers purchase a mushroom liquid culture syringe from experienced mycologists like Paul. Then there’s the fact that it can be difficult to identify contamination in mushroom liquid cultures. That’s why reputable vendors test their cultures before sale. But for the beginner, this requires a sterile space and some basic lab equipment and skills. Again, buying a small syringe of liquid culture from a professional and then expanding it yourself sidesteps this challenge. Another challenge is that to keep your liquid culture vigorous and healthy, you need to agitate and oxygenate the culture, which requires a stir plate. You could twirl your culture by hand everyday but this is definitely not ideal. Luckily, stir plates are pretty cheap (~$25) and with a little research and time, you can easily build your own using a computer fan and some magnets.
By now, you probably get the point: mushroom liquid cultures are invaluable for mushroom growers of all skills and scales. And if you can master the technique like Paul, you may have a profitable business on your hands. Wondering how to make your own liquid culture? Take it away, Paul!

Omg dude you’ve inspired me . Is there anyway you can help me find myself in the position you did that one summer’s day lol. I’m nick and 32. I fell in love with mushrooms by 14 . I went on a quest of understanding who I am. Then to realize we are all the same. As Human beings. Just with different percentiles of particular behavioral characteristics.
Then I was growing pot and realized in a sense I was this plants System. It’s sun it’s moon it’s h2o it’s nitrogen or carbon content and I’m 32 so for years I’ve been wanting to go legal. I did my first mushroom run with albino golden teachers and Amazonian psilo 🫤. And not by liquid cutters .. it took about 1 1/2 months to cake and everything went well except for the jars. I see I have to be a lot more contaminant free with the jars. Thank you for that. And you’re right working slow is the way to accomplish the goals; slow and steady wins the race. Anyway e mail me back if you have any pointers .. in general . For schooling for programs etc .. thanks bud 🙏.. Nick
I’ve searched high and low but cannot get a definite answer. Can you please tell me
if you introduce spores to fresh liquid culture [straight out of the (cooled down) pressure cooker] will those spores grow mycelium in the jar?
Thanks for reading and hopefully responding. ✌️
It could work, but the risk of contamination would be very high depending where you got your spore syringe from. Best option is to spawn on agar first and wait to see if there’s contaminates, if all good transfer to liquid culture solution, if not you can cut away healthy sections of mycelium if and transfer to a new piece of agar. that way you know only healthy mycelium is going into the fresh liquid culture solution, as it’s a lot harder to spot contamination in liquid compared to agar.
If you have a Still Box or Flow Hood, I’d agree that testing the spore solution out on agar is best.
If you don’t have the aforementioned equipment then glassware fitted with the protective opening is best.

In case you experience physical and/or mental discomforts, such as heart palpitations, dizziness, nervousness, extreme vibrations, sleeplessness, nausea or confusion, then directly stop its use. During the effect of the trip it is important to frequently drink water, fruit juice or soda.

Reviews for "The Science behind the Rable Magic Tablecloth: Exploring the Mechanics of Illusion"
1. John - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the "Rable magic tablecloth". The material was cheap and flimsy, and it didn't fit my table properly. The color also looked nothing like it did in the pictures online. I tried to return it but the customer service was unhelpful and unresponsive. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Rable magic tablecloth" but unfortunately, it fell short. The concept is interesting, but the execution is poor. The fabric wrinkles easily and it's a hassle to iron it out before each use. Additionally, the pattern designs are not as vibrant as advertised. I tried using it for a dinner party and ended up feeling embarrassed with its lackluster appearance. I would advise looking for an alternative tablecloth that offers better quality.
3. Mike - 2 stars - The "Rable magic tablecloth" seemed like a fun and unique item, so I purchased it for a special occasion. However, I was disappointed with the practicality and durability. The fabric stained easily and was difficult to clean. It also didn't lay flat on the table and kept sliding around, which was frustrating. While the concept may be interesting, the execution of this tablecloth needs improvement.
4. Emma - 1 star - I regret buying the "Rable magic tablecloth". The quality is extremely poor, with loose threads and uneven seams. It arrived with wrinkles that were impossible to remove, even after washing and ironing. The tablecloth also shrank significantly after the first wash, making it unusable for future events. Save your money and find a better tablecloth elsewhere.
5. David - 2 stars - The "Rable magic tablecloth" fell short of my expectations. The material felt cheap and the cutting was imprecise, resulting in an awkward fit on my table. The color also faded after just a few uses, making it look worn out quickly. It's a shame because the idea behind the magic feature is interesting, but the overall product is lacking in quality and durability.
