Spore Syringes are a key component of growing mushroom kits at home! Our experts have fine tuned this simple and reliable process to ensure easy inoculation for both beginners and experts.

The ease of use and low risk of contamination make our Spore Syringes one of the most effective germination methods.

What are spore syringes?

• They are syringes that contain millions of mushroom spores in a sterilised liquid solution.

 How do spore syringes work?

• Our Spore Vials have been crafted/made to be easy to use. Check out how to do this here.

 How long can I store syringes for?

• If stored in the fridge, Spore Vials can last for up to 2 years.

 What is the best way to store spore syringes?

• The best way to store them is in the fridge. You can store them at room temperature too, but this will reduce its life expectancy.

 Do I need anything else with spore syringes to grow mushrooms?

• You will need a sterilised substrate to inoculate the contents of your spore syringe. Sterilised substrates can be bought here.

 Can I reuse the needle and syringes?

• Technically you can reuse the needle if you sterilise it, however we recommend getting a replacement needle.

What spore syringes are best for beginners?

• There is no specific spore syringe that is better for beginners. All of our spore syringes are easy to activate and use.

Characteristics

Start growing healthy mushrooms from the Mondo Sterilized Substrate.

The sterilized substrate behaves like soil for plants. This sterilized substrate needs to be inoculated with our liquid cultures obtained from our spores - watch the simple activation video.

Product contains

• Brandless box
• Fruiting Bag with filter
• Reusable sticker for closing the bag

Please note that cultivating Psilocybe cubensis or any other psychoactive mushrooms may be subject to legal restrictions in many jurisdictions. Ensure you are in compliance with the law and exercise caution and responsibility.

What are substrates?

• Substrates contain the material needed by mycelium to colonize a kit. This is essentially what mycelium feeds off in order to fruit.

Are the Mondo substrates sterilized?

• The Mondo substrates are sterilized so that you do not have to do this process at home. 
  

Why do the substrates need to be sterilized?

• Substrates must be sterilized in order to remove unwanted microorganisms that could compete with the growth of your mushrooms, resulting in contaminations. 

What makes a good mushroom substrate? 

• The type of substrate can vary per mushroom species. The substrates we produce are typically suited for the Psilocybin Cubensis species.

Do the substrates contain mycelium?

• Substrates do not contain mycelium. However, you can purchase our spore vials, liquid cultures, or spore syringes in order to create your own grow kits.

Are substrates legal?

• Substrates are legal in most countries as they do not contain any psychoactive ingredients. However, please double-check that this is the case for your respective country.

What is the difference between the substrates and a grow kit?

• The difference between the two is that the grow kit comes colonized with a specific strain.

Spore Vials are easy to use, airtight containers with fungal spores inside. 

By simply shaking the vial and injecting the liquid into your substrate, you can activate the mycelium to colonise and germinate.

What are spore vials?

• They are small 10ml vials that contain millions of mushroom spores in a sterilized liquid solution. Spore vials always include a 20ml syringe to use for inoculation.
  

 How do spore vials work?

• Our Spore Vials have been made to be easy to use. Check out how to do this here.

 How long can I store spore vials for?

• If stored in the fridge, Spore Vials can last for up to 2 years.

 What is the best way to store spore vials?

• The best way to store vials is in the fridge. you can also choose to store them at room temperature, but this will reduce its life expectancy drastically.

What other equipment do I need in order to use spore vials?

• The spore vials come with a syringe, needle, and alcohol swab. You also need a sterilized substrate to grow the mushrooms in. This can also be purchased on our website. 
  

 Can I reuse the vials, syringe and needle that comes with it?

• Technically you can reuse these parts, but this is not recommended as it can lead to poor results.

What do I do with the needle after using it?

• Once you are done with the needle, you must dispose of it safely.
  

What spore vials are best for beginners?

• There is no specific spore vial that is better for beginners. All of our spore syringes are easy to activate and use.

Liquid Cultures

Inoculate our Mondo spore vials or syringes to grow your own living culture! 

Mondo Liquid cultures allow you to inject millions of tiny spores into a sterilized solution where the mycelium will develop. Once the mycelium has developed in the vial, the hypodermic syringe is used to inoculate the substrate, creating magic mushrooms!

The advantages of Liquid Cultures are:

•   Lower contamination risk
•   Reduction of the incubation period
•   Infinite mycelium growth

What are Liquid Cultures?

• A Liquid Culture is a sterile mixture of water and specific sugars (agave), which serves as nutrition for mycelium to grow.

How do liquid cultures work?

• Our Liquid Cultures have been made to be easy to use. Check out how to use them here.

How long can I keep liquid cultures in storage?

• Before the colonization of the Liquid Culture, you can store it for up to 2 years. Once you colonize the Liquid culture you can store it in the fridge for up to 3 months. Best results were achieved in the first 2-3 weeks of receiving the Liquid Culture.

What are the best ways to store liquid cultures?

• The best way to store it for optimal results is in the fridge.

Why do liquid cultures come in different sizes?

• We offer liquid cultures in different sizes (5, 10 & 25ml) to accommodate to different substrate and grow sizes.

Which liquid culture size should I buy?

• This depends on the amount you want to grow. If you are using one of our large substrate boxes (2100), then we recommend you use one of the larger Liquid Culture sizes (25ml). If you are going for the small substrate (280), then you can use the smaller Liquid Cultures (5 or 10 ml).
