Value System:

Our Value System guides the design of each strain. When we collect a species from the wild and initiate the first spore germination or tissue-culture/clone, we designate its age as T-0. Subsequent transfers of the original culture from one matrix to the next are then labeled in increments of T-1, T-2, and so forth. This library tries to maintain strains closest to their origins or closest to their peak fruiting potentials.

Lead Time:

Please note: Each order of our mushroom agar cultures is custom-made: lead time can be anywhere between 1-3 weeks from date of order. Orders usually ship within 1-2 weeks. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with proper mushroom cultivation, lab, and sterile technique before ordering.
