Storing gourmet cultures in an airtight container inside the refrigerator is best.

Put in a container
Place your liquid cultures in a plastic bag or other container to ensure the syringe stays protected and contamination free.
Store in your refrigerator
Liquid cultures and isolated syringes are best kept in your refrigerator to keep the mycelium dormant and last longer.
Storing after use
It is not recommended to save part of an isolated spore syringe or liquid culture for a later date. However, if you have a little left over, you can recap the needle and remove it from the syringe. Then replace the luer lock cap so that the liquid gold doesn’t leak.
How long can liquid cultures last in storage?
Liquid cultures don’t last quite as long as spores do. It is recommended to use your isolated syringe or liquid culture within 6 months of purchase to ensure it is as fresh and as healthy as possible. With that said, we have seen properly stored isolated syringes still viable after 2 years.

Description te
Gnome Mushroom Company Premium Liquid Culture
Our cultures are produced in a private facility BSL-2 of Clinical Research.
Create the grain spawn:
Place grain in a bucket and add enough hot tap water to cover it by a few inches.
Soak the grain for 12-24 hours.
Pour the grain into a colander to drain then place on a flat surface lined with a towel.
Spread evenly and allow the surface of the grain to become dry.
Inspect carefully and remove any oddly colored or burst grains and debris.
Scoop hydrated grain into bags or jars to approx. ¾ full.
Make sure bags or jars are equipped with an air exchange filter and injection port.
Leave jar lid loose or bags unsealed.
Sterilize in a pressure cooker for 90 minutes at 15 psi.
Remove heat and allow too slowly cool completely.
Seal the bags and tighten jar lids.
Inoculating of grain:
Shake liquid culture syringe using the bubble to break up the mycelium.
Clean injection port with alcohol. Attach needle to syringe.
Inject directly through the port.
Use ½ syringe of culture per bag or jar.
Refrigerate unused culture.
Mycelium Growth:
Place your bags or jars where they will not be disturbed.
Lighting is not necessary.
Keep temperature between 75-90 depending on species.
Make sure there is enough space around the bags or jars for air to freely circulate.
In 1-2 weeks, there should see signs of activity.
Do not shake or mix yet.
In 3-4 weeks, most of the outer grains should be colonized.
At this point you will need to break up the mycelium by vigorously shaking the jars or massaging the bags until well distributed.
This process will help speed up the process and ensure a more complete colonization over the next week.
Introducing the colonized grain to your substrate:
Before you start this process make sure you are using the correct substrate according to the species you are growing.
Bulk Substrate is also known as a Fruiting Block.
In general, you need a substrate that will provide the correct nutrients for your species, as well for fruiting.xt goes here
