Kickstart your gourmet mushroom cultivation with the Shiitake Mushroom Liquid Culture 10ml Syringe from UK Mushrooms OK – the UK’s leading supplier of high-quality mycology supplies for home growers and commercial producers. This professional-grade liquid culture contains vigorous, fully colonised mycelium of Lentinula edodes (Shiitake), one of the most popular and flavourful edible mushrooms worldwide. Each sterile 10ml syringe is filled with nutrient-rich liquid mycelium, complete with a luer-lock cap and separate 16-gauge sterile needle, allowing immediate inoculation of grain jars, substrate bags, or agar plates without any prior preparation.
Our Shiitake strain is a premium commercial variety selected for fast colonisation, high yield, and exceptional fruiting performance on hardwood substrates such as oak, beech, alder, or supplemented sawdust. Known for its rich, savoury umami flavour and meaty texture, Shiitake is a staple in Asian cuisine and increasingly popular in UK kitchens for stir-fries, soups, risottos, and vegan dishes. Home growers in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, and across the country choose our liquid cultures for reliable results – producing multiple flushes of large, thick-capped mushrooms with dark brown gills and excellent shelf life.
Why UK mycology enthusiasts choose Shiitake Liquid Culture from ukmushroomsok.com:
Each syringe is clearly labelled with strain name, date of production, and batch number, vacuum-sealed in a sterile pouch inside discreet plain packaging – no mention of contents or ukmushroomsok.com visible externally.
Step-by-step inoculation guide:
Shiitake fruits best at cooler temperatures (10–18°C) with high humidity and fresh air exchange, producing clusters of 5–15cm caps per flush. Expect first harvest 8–12 weeks from inoculation, with 3–5 strong flushes over several months. Dried Shiitake concentrate flavour dramatically and store for years – perfect for home preservation.
Compared to spore syringes, liquid culture offers dramatically faster and more reliable results with near-100% success rates for beginners. Our Shiitake LC is genetically stable and isolated from top-performing fruiting cultures, ensuring consistent morphology and potency across generations.
In 2025, growing gourmet mushrooms at home has surged in popularity across the UK as people seek fresh, organic produce and sustainable hobbies. Shiitake remains a top choice for its robust growth, nutritional profile (high in vitamin D, B vitamins, and lentinan), and culinary versatility. Whether you’re a first-time grower setting up a simple Martha tent or an experienced cultivator scaling up production, this 10ml Shiitake liquid culture syringe provides everything needed to produce pounds of premium mushrooms affordably.
