Mushroom Liquid Cultures/Blue Oyster(Pleurotus ostreatus)

I ordered a syringe of PO mushrooms to experiment with my first try at growing mushrooms. I watched several videos on how to start the process. I injected seven bags of rice and looked at them after two weeks of waiting. Initially I was scared they had all gone bad because I saw pink mycellium and read on Reddit that it was lipstick mold. After some research I found out that PO mushrooms can have pink mycellium. I opened all 7 bags and all of them had formed beautiful blocks of mycellium. I think transferred the mycellium to two 5 gallon buckets of low pasturized straw and within one week I already have PO mushrooms pinning and pushing the tape away from the bucket. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Thanks so much and can’t wait to try some more.Update: the first pic was on a Tuesday, the second and third are different buckets from the same liquid culture syringe 5 days later.

Edit: After messing up the whole thing, I finally got the spores injected into my grow bag and I have a successful culture growing. The spores came in the mail in my hot dry climate and they are doing fine. I will be buying more spores from this seller. My previous experience trying to grow lions mane on a mail log had been half successful it grew but still contaminated so this rye bag injection is the way to goI received the syringe, plunger, and alcohol wipe. There is no instruction in here so I pop the needle onto the plunger and the plunger won't budge. It still seems to be sealed inside. Frantically looking for instruction online everyone just twists the needle into place and it's good to go but mine stays inside the plunger. I feel that it must be contaminated at this point

I should have listened to other reviewers, not happy. I used 3 Agar plates to test this LC, using a a Still Box. After 4 days in a controlled 75 degrees incubation box. All I see is a bite of bacteria on 2 plates and nothing on the third plate. I'll buy from a more reputable company next time. I did ask for a replacement from this company. I'll post an update if they send a replacement.

Very nice came on time will buy from them again

The spores arrived quickly but were hot, i feel i owe equal responsibility for not requesting a cold pack.I do know the condition of the spores, but will update when they are used.

Excellent culture, no contamination. Really fast and rigorous growth!

I really appreciated that this culture arrived quickly compared to the estimated shipping time. I put it in the fridge as soon as it arrived, as I wasn't quite ready to inoculate my grain spawn that day. Waited til the weekend and got my supplies set up, pulled out the syringe of culture and fully expected to have to shake it like mad (like all the video tutorials say you'll have to do) but the mycelium was already very well dispersed in the culturing solution. I still shook it a bit just for GP's but it looks very healthy in the syringe and I'm very excited to see my grain spawn start to culture with mycelium!

culture was contaminated, conducted three jars experiment with control...all jars were sterilized, then liquid culture were injected in two ( first jars 5 ml, second received last 5 ml), third jar received 0 ml. results; first jar - white growth mixed with black, second - no growth, third one (control) - no growth. conclusion - bad sample. do not recommend.
