Year-Round Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Included Species
Blue Oyster (Pleurotus columbinus) Liquid Culture
Blue oyster covers late autumn through early spring in cool indoor spaces, the season where warm-weather species have stopped producing. It is the most reliable year-round producer in indoor setups that maintain 55 to 72°F.

| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Fruiting temp | 55 to 72°F — indoor autumn through spring production |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |

Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) Liquid Culture
Chestnut prefers 55 to 68°F and produces densely clustered fruiting bodies across the cooler months of the year. It complements blue oyster in an indoor year-round setup with a different flavor profile and visual character.
