Stephen King Trumpet Liquid Culture – 10 ml Syringe
Pleurotus eryngii
The Stephen King trumpet is a Japanese-origin commercial strain known for producing big, meaty fruit bodies with a rich, earthy aroma and savory flavor. While it prefers cooler fruiting conditions, it’s notably tolerant of warmer temperatures, making it a flexible choice for year-round cultivation in many climates. Expect 0.75–1.5 lbs. on the first flush from a 5 lb. supplemented sawdust block, with additional smaller flushes to follow.
Culture format:
This 10 ml liquid culture syringe contains active Pleurotus eryngii mycelium in a nutrient-rich broth. Suitable for inoculating grain bags or jars, it’s easy to work with while offering an introduction to slightly more advanced fruiting techniques. Each syringe is packaged in a sterile sleeve and includes a sterile 16 g needle and alcohol wipe.
Lab handling and best practices:
Refrigerate immediately – Shelf life is ~2 months chilled.
Shake well before inoculation to evenly suspend the mycelium.
Inoculate via self-healing injection port for a clean transfer.
Maintain sterile technique – Use a still air box or flow hood to avoid contamination.
If reusing needles, flame-sterilize before and after each use.
For growers looking to branch out beyond oysters and shiitake, the Stephen King trumpet offers excellent yields, gourmet quality, and a forgiving nature in less-than-perfect temperature control.
