The Spore Genetics Brown Beech Liquid Culture Syringe is an excellent choice for cultivating the delightful Hypsizygus tessellatus, commonly known as Brown Beech
mushrooms. Also referred to as Bunapi or Shimeji, these small, firm
mushrooms are prized for their crunchy texture and nutty, slightly sweet
flavor. They grow in clusters, with brown caps and white stems, making
them easily identifiable and a popular choice in various culinary
dishes.
This syringe contains a live, isolated biological sample that has
been meticulously nurtured, tested, and expanded at Spore Genetics to
ensure it is 100% contaminate-free. The culture syringe features a
high-output isolated sub-strain, optimized for maximum yield and reduced
incubation time. Each purchase includes a sterile, individually
packaged hypodermic needle for easy substrate injection.
Brown Beech mushrooms thrive on a variety of substrates,
including sterilized hardwood logs, supplemented sawdust blocks,
pasteurized straw, and other cellulose products. For those looking to
explore different growth mediums, petri dishes with malt extract agar
and dextrose agar, along with spawn options such as rye berries, millet,
oats, and corn are great options.
This species requires cold temperatures for successful fruiting,
with an incubation temperature of 70°F - 80°F over 12-14 days, followed
by fruiting at 55°F - 65°F with humidity levels of 85% - 93%. The
pinning time typically ranges from 4-10 days, with a total fruiting time
of 14-18 days. Due to its specific environmental needs and cold
fruiting requirements, Brown Beech mushrooms are a rewarding challenge for cultivators looking to grow these flavorful and visually appealing fungi.
