What kind of syringe is used for mushroom spores?
The 16 gauge needles are the most popular and are recommended if you are making mycelium culture syringes, while the smaller 18 gauge needles are recommended if you are making mushroom spore syringes. We also offer super wide-bore 14 gauge needles used to draw up extra-thick mycelial liquid culture.
How long after making spore syringe can you use it?
If stored in the correct conditions your spore syringe should last at least 6 months. That is not to say that your spore syringe will not be fine after a year or two, but the longer it is stored the more chance that the water will become contaminated with bacteria.
How much of my spore syringe should I use?
You will only require drops of 3 milliliters of the spore solution to colonize 1.05 quart or 1 liter of the substrate. One syringe has 20 ml of the mushroom spore solution which is enough to inoculate between 6 and 7 liters of substrate.
How do you make spore syringes?
A quick summary of the process:
- Clean down all the surfaces or Still Air Box.
- Sterilize the water.
- Start with a clean (ideally) sterile print.
- Remove the spore print from the foil envelope.
- Place the print careful in a self-seal bag and seal.
- Inject sterile water.
- Using thumb and forefinger wash spores in water.
How many ml spore syringe per jar?
We recommend using about 100 ml water and one spore print per jar.
How do you put a needle on a spore syringe?
Take spore syringe with the cap still on it. Hold the syringe with the cap pointing up. Unscrew the the cap from the spore syringe by turning it counter clockwise. Remove the needle from it’s sterile package (leave the protection cap on the needle) and attach it to the spore syringe.
How do you make liquid culture broth?
Firstly, dissolve 20g of LME into 1 litre of water, I tend to this with hot/boiling water as it helps dissolve it better. Fill your jars/jar approximately 80% full with broth. If you have a magnetic stirrer add it now, if not, add a bolt. If you don’t have a bolt, don’t worry you’ll just have to swirl a bit more.
Do spore syringes go bad?
The best place to store a spore syringe is in your refrigerator. We recommend studying our spores as soon as possible after you receive them, but as we discussed above, you can expect refrigerated syringes to last for up to 30 days and often longer.
What to do with spore syringe?
Generally a spore syringe is used to drop spores and water mixture onto slides for microscopy research or to inoculate sterile substrates with a specific strain of mushroom spores.
Where do Psilocybe cubensis grow?
Psilocybe cubensis. This is the most popular species of psilocybin mushrooms, also known as “Golden Teacher”. You may find it throughout southeastern United States , Central America and northern South America.

What are spore syringes?
A spore syringe is basically a medical syringe filled with magic mushroom spores suspended in sterile water. They store active spores for long periods of time. These syringes are used to inoculate substrates to grow your own mushrooms. The sterile water suspension also hydrates the spores before the important step…
