Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) Live Culture

Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a medicinal mushroom considered to have many beneficial properties. 

What's a Live Culture? - A live culture allows you to skip spore germination and go right to expanding the living tissue. 

Agar Wedge - An agar wedge provides the living tissue of a specific fungus attached to a small piece of agar. You can then place this wedge on a sterile agar plate to expand the fungus in preparation of growing mushrooms. This tiny amount of living tissue is more than enough to grow thousands of pounds of mushrooms. You simply expand the tissue onto an agar plate. Once that plate is fully colonized you then take wedges from that plate and place on to more plates. 

Plate - A plate is simply a petri dish with a specific fungus growing on the agar gel within it. Plates are one step closer to growing mushrooms since you can inoculate grain spawn with them. Plates provide enough of the fungus to inoculate 2-3 quart jars full of grain spawn.

  • What is the composition of the agar wedge?

    It's simply a 1x2 cm chunk of myceliated agar. It's sent in a sealed sterile tube. Agar wedges are a perfect way to obtain known-viable cultures to expand them on more agar plates.
