“Popcorning”

These pins formed in the bag after they were kept in my basement as winter was approaching and temps dropped.

All gourmet liquid cultures (LCs) are provided with a 16g needle (in the manufacturer’s packaging) and come in 10 mL capped syringes. They will be labelled on the plunger and are grown in a 2% malt extract solution. Shake well before use.

Great shiitake genetics!

These shiitakes did great for me. They colonized relatively quick (for shiitake) and produced some nice, healthy fruits!

Excellent quality & service

This liquid culture was clean, no problems with contamination. And as always, customer service is the best around. He’s quick to answer any questions and super friendly!

The best around, nothing's gonna ever keep him down

Top notch samples, as always! MMM 4 life

Shittake and Chestnut LC

MMM a class act ; items arrived fast, some nice stickers thrown in. The LC’s were packed and thriving in their syringes. Already put to grain/expanded LC and growing strong have worked with MMM gourmet genetics - I have Yet to see any contamination - clean.

I've ordered at least 6 times and have been more than impressed every time with the quality and customer service every time. No complaints.

Warm fruiting shiitake that doesn't mind cold storage

I made a liquid culture master backup of these genetics and my health took a downturn, leading to my leaving it untouched in the library fridge. Still alive over 8 months later! Just a one quart mason jar, too. Great products and great service from MMM!
