With a mushroom culture or liquid culture you can grow your own mushrooms your way! With the handy syringe provided, you dose a little into a petri dish with agar agar to grow the mycelium. You can also spray the liquid culture directly into a jar with sterilised cereals or brown rice. Or press the syringe empty into a large jar of agar-agar solution to make a larger amount of mushroom culture. Once you have liquid culture, the idea is that you can grow magic mushrooms indefinitely because you can multiply it yourself! The possibilities with growing your own are endless.
Important: whatever you do, do not ingest the liquid. By any means. A syringe of liquid culture is for cultivation or microscopy.
About the Cubensis Mushroom Strain Golden Teacher
"Golden Teacher" mushrooms are among the strongest philosophical magic mushrooms. The distinctive golden hat with yellow speckles, skirt and hollow stem that thickens towards the ground make Golden Teacher a delight to watch grow and they will be the subject of conversation. By the way, where exactly this species was discovered is not known. What we do know is that the aurumescens variety (Latin for golden leisure) suddenly appeared in the 1980s. The hat gets 5 to 8 centimetres in diameter.
A trip on Golden Teacher magic mushrooms is no mean feat. This particular strain is used worldwide to gain new insights into yourself or the universe. They are therefore not the most recreational magic mushrooms on the market, but they are the most widely used for spiritual purposes. It is therefore not uncommon that aurumescens can offer you a sense of enlightenment and a connection with nature.
Mushroom Liquid Culture Use
Shopping list
- Glass jar (preferably cylindrical with no constriction at the lid. Then you pour out the mushroom spawn more easily).
- Sterile culture medium/substrate (e.g. rye, brown rice, corn for popcorn or even birdseed)
- Parafilm tape (optional)
- Micropore tape (optional)
Before you start, take the jar and fill it completely with the nutrient medium (substrate). Make sure there is a little space up to the lid. Screw the lid on and put it in a pressure cooker for an hour. Then let the jar cool down to room temperature. Do not open the lid. Make a small hole in the lid with a hot needle. This will allow the mould to breathe. Tape it with a piece of micropore tape. This allows air in, but other moulds and bacteria have less chance.
Here are five simple steps to get started with your liquid culture syringe.
Step 1
Wash your hands thoroughly and wipe the outside of the liquid culture syringe with a clean, damp cloth. We recommend using a sterile alcohol wipe to eliminate any bacteria.
Step 2
The syringe is safely packaged in sterile packaging. Keep the syringe free of contamination and open the package in a clean environment.
Step 3
Unscrew the cap of the ampoule slightly (not completely). This way, you can fill the syringe without having problems with the vacuum.
Step 4
Insert the needle through the rubber seal and fill the syringe. Take the sterilised jar with, for example, sterile rye, brown rice, corn for popcorn or even birdseed.
Step 5
The filled syringe is now ready for use and the culture can be used to inoculate the chosen substrate. Unscrew the lid and slide it to the side just enough that the needle fits between. Better not to take the lid off completely. Inject about one millilitre (1 dash) into the jar. Tighten the lid and tape the lid shut.
Tips:
- Spray along the inside of the jar, it will be easier to see how the fungus grows.
- 1 ml is already enough for a jar, but the more you put in, the faster it grows.
Let the culture grow in the substrate at room temperature. Within a few days, the mycelium will form as muscle-white microscopic threads. After that, shake the jar every day to speed up the process until the whole jar is filled with a white fluff.
Next: Growing Mushrooms
Once you have a pot of substrate that is coloured all white, you can carefully remove (don't touch) the substrate from the pot. You can do several things with the substrate. For example, graft a new pot with sterile, uncolonised substrate or empty the contents into a clean plastic container filled with perlite. Provide fresh air by making a few holes in the container or opening the lid from time to time. Also make sure there is always condensation on the inside of the container by spraying the walls of the container with a plant sprayer on the mist setting every day.
