Cordyceps fungi, unlike the fictional zombie-inducing version, are generally safe for humans and have long been used in traditional medicine for potential benefits such as boosting energy, supporting immune function, enhancing athletic performance, and promoting kidney and liver health. They also show antioxidant activity and may offer anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects, although more well-designed human research is needed to confirm many of these benefits. They will not turn you into a zombie because the human body’s higher temperature prevents that type of infection, and reported side effects are typically minimal, mostly mild stomach upset in some individuals.
Potential Benefits (Under Investigation)
Energy & Performance: May increase ATP production, improving oxygen use and athletic stamina.
Immune Support: Can modulate the immune system and show potential anti-tumor effects in lab studies.
Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant: Contains compounds that fight cell damage and inflammation.
Kidney & Liver Health: Traditionally used for kidney and liver support, generally well-tolerated in studies.
Blood Sugar: May help lower blood sugar levels, beneficial for diabetes.
Anti-aging: May help the body cope with stress and improve skin collagen.
Pink Oyster
Pleurotus Djamor : Pink Oyster Mushroom
Cultivation Difficulty: Moderate
Type: Edible
Substrate: Pasteurized straw, Hardwood chips and sawdust, various grains, newspaper and cardboard.
Colonization/Fruiting Temperatures: 75-85F/65-75F
Available In: 60cc liquid culture
The pink oyster is an extremely fast growing mushroom that fruits easily on a wide range of ligneous substrates. The mushrooms grow in clusters of thin fleshed pink caps.The flavor improves dramatically with thorough cooking. Mushrooms tend to be sour when raw or undercooked, but our experience has shown this to not be a very desirable oyster mushroom based on edibility.
The pink oyster is more productive than the golden oyster with yields similar to the more common market oyster strains. These mushrooms also need plenty of fresh air to develop normally. High carbon dioxide levels from mushroom metabolism will accumulate in sealed growing environments and may reduce cap size severely. Growth starts off as a fast growing white mycelium that ages to a pink color. Primordia and young mushrooms are bright pink but become less intensely colored as the mushroom matures. The color disappears entirely after cooking.
Pink oyster mushroom sawdust spawn blocks are available seasonally for those that want to play with this variety and not invest the time in tissue culturing or starting from scratch.
Shiitake Liquid Culture
The shiitake is an edible mushroom native to East Asia. Shiitake grow in groups on the decaying wood of deciduous trees, particularly shii, chestnut, oak, maple, beech, sweetgum, poplar, hornbeam, ironwood, mulberry, and chinquapin. Its natural distribution includes warm and moist climates. Fresh and dried shiitake have many uses in the cuisines of East Asia. In Japan, they are served in miso soup, used as the basis for a kind of vegetarian dashi, and as an ingredient in many steamed and simmered dishes. In Chinese cuisine, they are often sautéed in vegetarian dishes such as Buddha's delight.
Renowned for their rich, umami flavor and meaty texture, Shiitakes are perfect for a variety of dishes. Our isolated cultures ensure reliable colonization and consistent growth. Ideal for both beginners and experienced growers. Order your Shiitake culture today for top-quality mushrooms!"
Shiitake liquid culture produces a delicious mushroom that has been wildly popular in Asia for centuries. Their flavor can best be described as a combination of rich and savory mixed with umami. Characterized by medium-to-large brown caps, shiitake mushrooms traditionally grow in nature on fallen logs which is how they got their name—Shiitake is a Japanese word that literally translates to a mushroom (“take”) growing on a “Shii” tree (a type of chinquapin tree that is ideal for growing shiitakes). These nutritious and sturdy mushrooms are easy to grow for all skill levels, especially in warm and moist climates, and are a welcome addition to just about any meal you can imagine. Shiitake mushrooms take longer to grow than most mushrooms but the fruits decay slower, so you have a long window for cooking and consuming them after they are harvested. It will generally take 2 to 3 months for Shitake to fully colonize a bag of substrate. After the bag is colonized it will slowly turn brown. Once the bag is mostly brown, it’s ready to be introduced to fruiting conditions. After full colonization, Shiitake mushrooms take about 1 week to produce fruit bodies and will produce 3 to 5 flushes. They grow best on hardwood sawdust, and supplemented sawdust mix
Lion’s Mane
Cultivation Difficulty: Easy
Type: Edible
Substrate: Hardwood chips and sawdust, hardwood logs.
Colonization/Fruiting Temperatures: 70-75F/65-75F
Supplied As:10cc liquid culture
The Lion’s Mane is toothed fungus, it forms tooth-like spine structures instead of gills. The spines grow from a common clump and can become over a centimeter long. Younger specimens are more desired for flavor, which is often described as lobster-like when fried in butter.
This is an aggressive species that spontaneously forms primordia on malt agar and sawdust substrates but may be slow to colonize grain spawn. The mushroom develops quickly once initiated and can grow from a tiny primordia to a large, ready to harvest mushroom in one week or less. We offer a quick and easy Lion’s Mane Mushroom Block – Ready to Grow Kit for those wishing to try growing this mushroom at home. It may also be cultivated from cut hardwood logs using plug spawn.
The Lion’s Mane has been used for hundreds of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine and recent studies show certain compounds in the mushroom produce antioxidant effects, may regulate blood lipid levels and may reduce blood glucose levels.
