Mushroom Liquid Cultures/White Enoki(Flammulina velutipes)

My first time trying to grow mushrooms, but these were highly recommended for TBI. The powder is very $$$$ so I thought I would give it a shot. I hear they are also tasty! The colonization was a bit concerning as it colonized within days and looked fuzzy, like a mold, instead of the white like I expected. Full mycelium propagation in a coco coir monotub took about 5 weeks. Be sure you watch actual lion's mane growing videos, as most I think are psilocybin mushroom grow guides on YouTube.

Edit: After messing up the whole thing, I finally got the spores injected into my grow bag and I have a successful culture growing. The spores came in the mail in my hot dry climate and they are doing fine. I will be buying more spores from this seller. My previous experience trying to grow lions mane on a mail log had been half successful it grew but still contaminated so this rye bag injection is the way to go I received the syringe, plunger, and alcohol wipe. There is no instruction in here so I pop the needle onto the plunger and the plunger won't budge. It still seems to be sealed inside. Frantically looking for instruction online everyone just twists the needle into place and it's good to go but mine stays inside the plunger. I feel that it must be contaminated at this point

Contaminated. I used sterile gloves, tent(new), very sterile procedures. Only mold grew.😢

Great product

Turkey Tail did not colonize in brown rice, UB tek. Edit Corrected substrate to hardwood pellets, and got fruits. Seller provided replacement and good advice

I have been curious about mushroom growing for quite some time, so when I was gifted a grow kit without culture, I looked around and decided to go with the Root Mushroom Farms culture. Since this was my first time and I kind of messed up the inoculation, I wasn't sure it would grow... but fear not! The culture colonized my grain bag fully, then went on to produce some mighty fine pink oyster mushrooms. I succeeded in spite of myself! I am quite pleased with the performance of this culture and I will be a repeat customer.

I ordered a syringe of PO mushrooms to experiment with my first try at growing mushrooms. I watched several videos on how to start the process. I injected seven bags of rice and looked at them after two weeks of waiting. Initially I was scared they had all gone bad because I saw pink mycellium and read on Reddit that it was lipstick mold. After some research I found out that PO mushrooms can have pink mycellium. I opened all 7 bags and all of them had formed beautiful blocks of mycellium. I think transferred the mycellium to two 5 gallon buckets of low pasturized straw and within one week I already have PO mushrooms pinning and pushing the tape away from the bucket. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Thanks so much and can’t wait to try some more. Update: the first pic was on a Tuesday, the second and third are different buckets from the same liquid culture syringe 5 days later. Another update: I ordered the Blue oysters and got another wonderful batch. Last pic is of the first fruit to be harvested.

I will use the syringe but I am disappointed with the amount of mycelium in the syringe.
