Shiitake 3782 Liquid Culture Syringe
The Shiitake liquid culture (strain 3782) is a live, lab-isolated culture of Lentinula edodes — the umami-rich hardwood mushroom prized in kitchens worldwide. Each 10cc syringe is ISO 7 prepared, ready to inoculate supplemented sawdust or grain.
Shiitake forms broad, domed caps in rich amber-to-mahogany tones, often with a cracked, marbled surface as they mature. Strain 3782 is a robust commercial selection valued for its consistency and full-bodied character.
Its flavor is deep and savory — the definition of umami — with a firm, satisfying texture that holds up to any cooking method. A hardwood specialist, it rewards patience with exceptional results.
Why Shiitake 3782 Stands Out
Our Shiitake liquid culture is isolated for the vigor and consistency of the 3782 strain. It’s a hardwood classic that delivers deep, restaurant-quality flavor from a clean, reliable culture.
Umami-rich and dependable — Shiitake 3782 is a gourmet essential.
Cultivation Notes
Shiitake favors supplemented hardwood sawdust and colonizes more slowly than oysters, developing a characteristic browning “skin” before fruiting. Expand the culture to grain or agar, then move to a hardwood-based block. Patience is rewarded with dense, flavorful flushes.
Umami. Robust. Classic.
If you are looking for a Shiitake liquid culture syringe with proven, consistent genetics, strain 3782 delivers deep flavor and a rewarding hardwood grow.
