Warm Weather Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Pack Overview
The Warm Weather Mushroom Cultures 5 Pack brings together five species that thrive when the temperature climbs, the ones to grow in summer, in warm climates, and in grow spaces without air conditioning. Every species in this pack fruits at temperatures that slow or stall most cool-weather cultivated species. If you have struggled to grow mushrooms in summer because your space gets too warm, this pack is built for that situation.
Warm Weather Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Included Species
Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor) Liquid Culture
Pink Oyster is the champion warm-weather species in our entire catalog, tropical, fast, and productive at temperatures that would stall every cool-weather oyster variety in the pack. If your space hits 80°F in summer, pink oyster just keeps going.
Pink Oyster — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Fruiting temp | 70 to 85°F — performs best in genuine warmth |
| Speed | One of the fastest fruiting species we carry in warm conditions |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |

Lion's Mane Warm Weather (Hericium erinaceus) Liquid Culture
The warm weather Lion's Mane strain was specifically selected for performance at higher temperatures than the standard strain. It fruits at 65 to 80°F, which covers most summer grow situations, and is the version of Lion's Mane we recommend to anyone who has had the standard strain stall out when the weather turned warm.

Shiitake Warm Weather (Lentinula edodes) Liquid Culture
The Warm Weather Shiitake strain covers the 55 to 85°F range, which means it keeps producing through conditions that cooler strains find stressful. The upper end of that range makes it one of the more heat-tolerant shiitake strains we carry.

Paddy Straw Mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) Liquid Culture
Paddy Straw is genuinely tropical, it needs 85 to 95°F to fruit and is one of the very few cultivated mushroom species that actually requires summer heat to perform. Most people have never grown it fresh because it is almost exclusively sold canned. Fresh paddy straw mushrooms are a completely different experience from the can.

ABM (Agaricus blazei-murrill) Liquid Culture
Agaricus blazei-murrill, known as ABM or Royal Sun Agaricus, is the Brazilian medicinal mushroom that has attracted research interest in immune modulation, particularly from Japanese researchers who have studied it extensively. It requires warm conditions, 75 to 85°F, and a compost-based substrate similar to button mushroom cultivation. The combination of functional compound interest and warm-weather fruiting makes it a natural fit for this pack.
