1. Inoculation of a bag of hydrated and sterilized grains

Description
The mycelium syringe is used to inoculate sterile grains (wheat, rye, millet, rice…). The liquid mycelium gradually colonizes the grains, which can then be used as a multiplication medium or as spawn for other substrates.

Main use
→ Production of grain spawn)

What are mycelium syringes used for ?

2. Inoculation of a sterile liquid culture

Description
The syringe is used to introduce mycelium into a sterile nutrient liquid medium. This method allows for fast and uniform mycelial growth, ideal for producing large quantities of inoculum.

Main use
→ Rapid multiplication of liquid mycelium

3. Inoculation of a nutrient jar (rice flour & vermiculite)

Description
The syringe is used to inoculate a solid substrate made of rice flour and vermiculite. This simple technique is widely used for home cultivation and as an introduction to mushroom growing.

Main use
→ Direct cultivation on simple nutrient substrates

4. Inoculation of a Petri dish (agar medium)

Description
A few drops of liquid mycelium are placed onto an agar medium. This method allows observation, selection, and purification of mycelium in a controlled environment.

Main use
→ Laboratory work, isolation, and genetic selection
