Question 1

Are your liquid cultures made from spore or tissue?

Accepted Answer

All of our liquid cultures are made from live tissue - never spore. We isolate live tissue that has been grown out on agar, then test that isolation to ensure vigor and viability before a batch of liquid culture is made.

Question 2

Are cultures safe to ship during winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Canada Post keeps packages in a temperature-controlled warehouse and delivery truck to ensure items don't freeze. To ensure cultures do not freeze in your outdoor mailbox overnight, we recommend you purchase tracking to know exactly when your cultures are delivered.

Question 3

What are the ingredients of your liquid culture broth?

Accepted Answer

We use distilled water, a 4% concentration of light malt extract and dextrose, and live mycelium.

Question 4

A culture I ordered appears to be contaminated.. Now what?

Accepted Answer

Please let us know as soon as possible! We offer a risk-free purchase and will either refund or re-ship a culture if it doesn't work out for you.

Question 5

What are the ingredients in your spore syringes?

Accepted Answer

We only use distilled water and freshly collected spores.
