Immune Support Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Pack Overview
The Immune Support Mushroom Cultures 5 Pack brings together the five species with the most substantial peer-reviewed research into immune system modulation and related bioactive compounds. We are not making medical claims here, that is not what we do. What we can say is that these five species appear more often in serious immunological research literature than almost anything else in the functional mushroom category, and cultivators interested in growing their own verified biomass from clean genetics will find this the most research-backed collection we offer.
Immune Support Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Included Species
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) Liquid Culture
Turkey Tail contains PSK (polysaccharide-K) and PSP (polysaccharide peptide) compounds that have been through clinical trial programs in Japan and China. It is the most studied medicinal mushroom in the North American context and one of the easiest to cultivate, it colonizes hardwood aggressively and produces reliably.
Turkey Tail — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Functional compounds | PSK and PSP polysaccharides; most extensively peer-reviewed of any medicinal mushroom in North America |
| Difficulty | Beginner to intermediate |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |
Turkey Tail Taxonomy
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Division: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Polyporales
- Family: Polyporaceae
- Genus: Trametes
- Species: Trametes versicolor
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) Liquid Culture
Reishi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over two thousand years and contains triterpenoids and beta-glucans that are among the most studied compounds in the Ganoderma genus. Growing your own from verified liquid culture gives access to fresh whole fruiting body biomass rather than processed extract.
Reishi — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Functional compounds | Triterpenoids, beta-glucans; over two thousand years of TCM use |
| Timeline | Months from inoculation to harvest |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |
Reishi Taxonomy
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Division: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Polyporales
- Family: Ganodermataceae
- Genus: Ganoderma
- Species: Ganoderma lucidum
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) Liquid Culture
Chaga contains betulinic acid derived from its birch host and a range of polysaccharides that have attracted serious research attention. Growing your own from liquid culture means either birch tree inoculation for conk production or liquid fermentation for mycelial biomass, both are meaningful starting points for cultivators interested in the compound profile.
Chaga — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Functional compounds | Betulinic acid from birch host; polysaccharides; extensively researched |
| Cultivation | Birch tree inoculation or liquid fermentation for biomass |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |
Chaga Taxonomy
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Division: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Hymenochaetales
- Family: Hymenochaetaceae
- Genus: Inonotus
- Species: Inonotus obliquus
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) Liquid Culture
Maitake contains D-fraction beta-glucan compounds that have been the subject of dedicated immune modulation research programs, particularly in Japan where a significant commercial maitake industry exists specifically for functional compound production.
Maitake — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Functional compounds | D-fraction beta-glucans; dedicated immune research in Japan |
| Best approach | Outdoor oak stump inoculation for fruiting |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |
Maitake Taxonomy
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Division: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Polyporales
- Family: Meripilaceae
- Genus: Grifola
- Species: Grifola frondosa
ABM (Agaricus blazei-murrill) Liquid Culture
ABM is the Brazilian medicinal mushroom studied extensively by Japanese researchers for immune modulation properties. The polysaccharide profile differs from the other four species in this pack in ways that make it a meaningful addition to a functional mushroom collection rather than a redundant one.
ABM — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Functional compounds | Polysaccharides; studied extensively in Japan for immune modulation |
| Fruiting temp | 75 to 85°F — warm-weather species; different from other four in this pack |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |
ABM Taxonomy
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Division: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Agaricales
- Family: Agaricaceae
- Genus: Agaricus
- Species: Agaricus blazei-murrill
Immune Support Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Cultivation Overview
The Immune Support pack spans cultivation complexity from straightforward turkey tail on hardwood to long-term maitake outdoor establishment and multi-year chaga conk projects. All five syringes ship from our McConnell, Illinois lab ready to inoculate. We recommend reading the individual grow guides for cultivation specifics on each species.
