About Chicken of the Woods
Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) is a highly prized wild mushroom known for its bright orange color and firm, meat-like texture. It grows naturally on hardwood trees and is valued for its culinary use.

Important Note
This species is more challenging to cultivate compared to common gourmet mushrooms and is best suited for:
outdoor log inoculation
long-term cultivation projects
experimental growing setups

Indoor fruiting is less predictable.

All liquid cultures are:
freshly prepared from tested master cultures
handled under sterile conditions
checked to ensure only clean, viable mycelium is present

We guarantee clean culture; if any issues arise, we will replace it.

What Is Liquid Culture
Liquid Culture (LC) is live mushroom mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich liquid medium. It allows for faster colonisation and more consistent results compared to spores.

Storage
Room temperature: up to 1 month
Refrigerated: up to 12 months or longer

For best performance, it is recommended to use the culture soon after receiving.

Suitable For
outdoor mushroom cultivation
log inoculation
agar work and culture expansion
experimental growing projects
