'Willow' pioppino (Agrocybe aegerita) is a commercial strain that produces large flushes of velvety-capped mushrooms with snappy stalks. These mushrooms are relatively sturdy and are not too brittle for distance shipping or delivery. This strain is a customer favorite because it produces consistent yields and reliable flushes.
Our liquid culture syringes are ~10ml and come sealed in a plastic sleeve with a sterile 16 gauge needle and alcohol wipe.
About liquid culture:
Liquid culture is mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich medium. Syringes are beginner-friendly and ideal for those looking for an easy way to inoculate grain bags and jars.
Directions for use:
For best results, refrigerate upon receipt. Syringes should be inserted into a self-healing injection port. Always handle using sterile technique and shake thoroughly before use. We recommended inoculation in either a still air box or flow hood to reduce the possibility of contamination. If you plan to re-use your needle, sterilize before and after each subsequent use.

Pioppino!
OMG! I think these are the best mushrooms I've ever grown!!! Look at these beauties! And the taste? Just as described - Nutty, savory and with a crunchy stalk that you have to experience to understand! Scramble with eggs, melt in monterrey jack cheese, wrap in a warm tortilla......My new favortie breakfast taco! Easy as heck to grow, even tho listed as "Intermediate". Don't let that fool ya. Yes, maybe you need to up the CO2 to get biger stalks but these beauties started pinning from the bag once I cut the first slit. Spent the extra on C02 monitors to adjust the FAE on my tubs, but you could easily just watch and learn by altering the tank lid opening. Have yet to go wrong with any North Spore mycelium syringes! Yes, guys, I'm expanding your goodies into my own liquid culture jars for personal use. But if anyone ever asks where I got my start? Throwing all honors right back to your company and the great products you sell! North Spore rocks and you deserve every ounce of respect from my harvests! Keep up the great work! Your company is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Jack

Blue oyster culture; Shitake LC
Excellent inoculation! My blue oyster block just went in the fridge and my shitakes are colonizing with another month to go. Very happy with the healthy strains of LC, will continue to purchase from you! And thank you for the free syringe of LC!

Fruited beautifully
I innoculated sterilized oat jars and spawned to woodlvr substrate. Fast colonizing and great to grow indoors in winter when my house runs cool (60-65). Gorgeous results and tasty fried with garlic and sage.
Amazing!
The LC was clean when tested on agar. This LC was aggressive on the plate and in a spawn bag. I added it to a wood substrate and it colonized and flushed fast! When I sautéd them in butter, they tasted like bacon! Will purchase these for the rest of my life! My whole family loved them and they went fast!
Quality specimen
My first batch was stolen off the mail truck but they quickly sent a replacement. Even though the weather was in triple digits, the sample worked great. Inoculated onto brown rice. Three weeks later, my mycelium is ridiculously strong and I am getting ready to put on substrate.
