Root Mushroom Farm- Mushroom Liquid Cultures/Portobello(agaricus bisporus)

Excellent culture, no contamination. Really fast and rigorous growth!

I ordered a syringe of PO mushrooms to experiment with my first try at growing mushrooms. I watched several videos on how to start the process. I injected seven bags of rice and looked at them after two weeks of waiting. Initially I was scared they had all gone bad because I saw pink mycellium and read on Reddit that it was lipstick mold. After some research I found out that PO mushrooms can have pink mycellium. I opened all 7 bags and all of them had formed beautiful blocks of mycellium. I think transferred the mycellium to two 5 gallon buckets of low pasturized straw and within one week I already have PO mushrooms pinning and pushing the tape away from the bucket. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Thanks so much and can’t wait to try some more.Update: the first pic was on a Tuesday, the second and third are different buckets from the same liquid culture syringe 5 days later.

I inoculated 2 bags and a culture jar and have seen zero growth from the portabella. I attempted to contact the seller and a few days ago but have heard nothing back. I also purchased maitake at the same time from this seller and the spawn bag is colonizing fast but the portabella is doing nothing. I bet the culture got too cold in storage or was old. Either way Id like money back or a replacement that actually works.Seller contacted me and said he will replace. I will change my review if the new syringe works

I’ll start off by saying I’m a novice mushroom cultivator. This is my first liquid culture, in fact. I have also grown mushrooms from spores.I injected this solution into some bags of Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice, which is a cheap, easily-accessible, sterile substrate. The mycelial culture quickly colonized the bags and subsequent coco coir substrate. It took about two weeks to colonize the coconut fibers and start pinning. Once pinning began, it was about five days before the tiny pins pictured turned into the big mushrooms.Unfortunately, I used a monotub setup to grow these, and blue oysters supposedly need a lot more fresh air than they were given. They are better suited to growing out of a fruiting bucket.Although my first flush was a failure, I isolated a core sample of the biggest fruit and added it to an agar plate so I can try again. I would recommend this liquid culture to anyone looking to grow gourmet mushrooms!

This syringe worked. Only used 5cc on a grain bag. Inoculated 1/7 and saw it starting to colonize yesterday.

Syringe was packed with clean thick mycelium. Will buy again.

I have been curious about mushroom growing for quite some time, so when I was gifted a grow kit without culture, I looked around and decided to go with the Root Mushroom Farms culture. Since this was my first time and I kind of messed up the inoculation, I wasn't sure it would grow... but fear not! The culture colonized my grain bag fully, then went on to produce some mighty fine pink oyster mushrooms. I succeeded in spite of myself! I am quite pleased with the performance of this culture and I will be a repeat customer.

I received the syringe, plunger, and alcohol wipe. There is no instruction in here so I pop the needle onto the plunger and the plunger won't budge. It still seems to be sealed inside. Frantically looking for instruction online everyone just twists the needle into place and it's good to go but mine stays inside the plunger. I feel that it must be contaminated at this point
