Wine Cap Commercial Liquid Culture (200ml)

Wine Cap Commercial Liquid Culture (200ml)

Scale your wine cap (Stropharia rugosoannulata also known as King Stropharia Garden Giant) production with this 200ml commercial liquid culture jar. Wine cap is the ultimate outdoor mushroom. This jar gives you lab-isolated genetics in a format designed for repeated sterile draws across large production batches. Made in Canada at our CFIA-licensed facility in Brantford, Ontario.

What's Included

• One 200ml mason jar with live wine cap mycelium in sterile honey-water medium
• Self-healing injection port for clean, repeated culture draws
• Synthetic filter cap for continuous gas exchange
• Lab-isolated Stropharia rugosoannulata genetics

How to Use

Draw culture through the self-healing injection port using a sterile syringe. One 200ml jar provides enough culture to inoculate a full production run of grain jars or grow bags.

• Wipe the injection port with isopropyl alcohol before every draw
• Use a sterile 18-gauge needle and syringe
• Inject 2-5ml per grain jar or spawn bag
• Swirl the jar gently before drawing to ensure even mycelium distribution

Species Profile

Wine cap is the ultimate outdoor mushroom. It thrives on wood chips and straw mulch in garden beds, requires zero sterile technique, and produces massive burgundy-capped mushrooms from spring through fall. This culture is ideal for growers who want to inoculate large outdoor beds, garden paths, or commercial-scale mulched growing areas. One 200ml jar can inoculate a substantial area.

Growing Parameters

• Scientific name: Stropharia rugosoannulata
• Fruiting temperature: outdoor seasonal (10-26°C)
• Recommended substrate: hardwood chips, straw mulch, garden beds

Why Commercial Size

The 200ml jar format lets you maintain genetic consistency across your entire spawn production line. One jar replaces dozens of individual syringes, and the self-healing injection port allows repeated draws without opening the jar — keeping contamination risk low and throughput high.
