Florida Reishi (Ganoderma sp.) – Liquid Culture Syringe

skwalwas — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 03:01:36 +0000

We have a sample going to a genetics testing lab to be sequenced because it doesn’t quite match G. curtisii or G. lobatum, the two species we suspected, so our nickname for this culture is ‘Gano X.’ Our test grow was really crazy looking, but we think that if one allows it to conk, it’ll fruit very well.

This strain native to South Florida, so keep it warm and damp. It grows well in very lightly supplemented sawdust. 0-5% is a good ratio of wheat/oat bran to sawdust.

My cultures come in sterile syringes filled 10cc of premium live mycelium, sterile water, and a carefully chosen proprietary blend of nutrients specific to the species of fungi selected.f

skwalwas — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 19:31:52 +0000

This Comb Tooth (Hericium collaroides) originates from outside of Minerva, New York in the Adirondacks, where it was found by a friend of SoFlo Fungi, Alaric Strauss. It is a favorite of his to grow, and he was gracious enough to allow us to sell it to the masses through our culture shop! It grows just like Lion’s Mane, and is said to contain a very similar quantity of the functional compounds, hericenones and erinacines.

It will do well on 5-10lb fruiting blocks with about 10% supplementation. It needs 95%-99% RH to fruit, with 99% to initiate pinning, while humidity can be dropped to 85%-90% as the fruiting bodies continue to develop.

This mushroom is a choice edible, and will be a hit with culinarily inclined cultivators.

My cultures come in sterile syringes filled 10-12cc of premium live mycelium, sterile water, and a carefully chosen proprietary blend of nutrients specific to the species of fungi selected.

*For international orders, a replacement can be shipped upon request for a valid reason; however, shipping must be paid for the replacement as well as the original item.

Antler Reishi (Ganoderma multipileum) is a species of Reishi that originated in Asia. It has a history of medicinal use going back 4,000 years in China, where it is known as Lingzhi.

This culture is a favorite among commercial growers and beginners alike. It grows well in a sealed grow bag to maturity, making it a very low maintenance species. It will grow long antlers within a period of about 3 months with Master’s Mix (1:1 Soy Hulls & Oak Sawdust/hardwood fuel pellets), or lightly supplemented hardwood sawdust. It does well when inoculated by grain spawn. This species is extremely aggressive, and can even sometimes outcompete contamination.
