Lab-Isolated Genetics · Hobby & Commercial Formats
Lab-isolated cultures in 3cc syringes and 200ml commercial jars. 11 species, CFIA-licensed facility.
Commercial Liquid Cultures (200ml) — Made Fresh to Order — Please allow 14-21 business days before commercial LC orders ship. 3cc syringes ship within standard processing times.
Hobby & Small-Scale Growers
Pre-filled syringes with lab-isolated mycelium. Inject directly into grain jars, spawn bags, or agar plates. Perfect for home growers and small-scale operations.
Liquid culture is the cleanest way to start from genetics instead of buying finished spawn. Nature Lion liquid cultures are produced in our Brantford, Ontario lab and ship across Canada in two formats: 3cc syringes for home growers and 200ml jars for repeated sterile draws.
If you are choosing your first liquid culture syringe, start with Blue Oyster or Lion's Mane. Blue Oyster is fast and forgiving, while Lion's Mane is a popular choice for enriched hardwood blocks. Shiitake, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Chestnut, and King Trumpet are better choices once you already have sterile grain or agar workflow dialed in.

Commercial & Farm Scale
Mason jars with self-healing injection ports for repeated sterile draws. One jar replaces dozens of syringes — designed for production-scale inoculation. Made fresh to order, allow 14-21 business days.


























Liquid culture is a nutrient-rich solution containing live mushroom mycelium. It allows you to inoculate grain spawn, agar plates, or substrate bags with lab-isolated genetics for consistent, reliable results.
Shake the syringe gently to distribute the mycelium, then inject 1-3cc into sterilized grain jars or spawn bags through a self-healing injection port. Work near a flame or in a still-air box to maintain sterility.
Liquid culture syringes are best used within 1-2 months of purchase. Store them in the fridge (4°C) to extend viability. Commercial 200ml jars last longer due to the larger nutrient volume, but should also be refrigerated.
