Blue Oyster Liquid Culture
Pleurotus ostreatus var. columbinus
Fast, forgiving, and dramatic — silvery blue-grey clusters that fruit readily on straw or hardwood. A great culture to start with.
Cultivated in-house
The Mushroom Lab makes live, single-strain liquid cultures in sterile, needle-tipped syringes — the fastest way to jump-start a grow. Browse the lineup and order securely on Amazon.
Live, single strain
Mycelium from one isolated, proven strain — not spores. Consistent, predictable grows every time.
Viability guaranteed
Every culture is quality-checked. If it arrives contaminated or won’t grow, we’ll replace it.
10 ml, sterile syringe
Ready to inject into grain, substrate, or agar — no extra prep and no mess.
Made in the USA
Cultured and filled by hand in small batches. Keeps 6+ months in the fridge.
Featured cultures
Pleurotus ostreatus var. columbinus
Fast, forgiving, and dramatic — silvery blue-grey clusters that fruit readily on straw or hardwood. A great culture to start with.
Hericium erinaceus
Shaggy white cascades of icicle-like spines with a sweet, seafood-like flavour. Fruits beautifully on supplemented hardwood.
Pleurotus citrinopileatus
Vivid yellow bouquets with a warm, nutty aroma. Vigorous and quick to colonise — as much a showpiece as it is a meal.
Pleurotus eryngii
Thick, meaty stems with a savoury bite — the chef’s oyster. Rewards a little patience with large, substantial mushrooms.
Cordyceps militaris
The striking orange specialty culture. A more advanced grow that fruits into vivid, coral-like clusters on grain or rice.
