Antler Reishi (Ganoderma multipileum / lucidum) Liquid Culture Syringe – 10ml / 10cc

Grow One of Nature’s Most Distinctive Functional Mushrooms

Explore the fascinating world of Antler Reishi with our premium Grospore 10ml (10cc) liquid culture syringe. Known for its unique branching, antler-like formations and deep reddish-brown coloration, Reishi is one of the most recognizable functional mushrooms cultivated by mushroom enthusiasts. It is sold across the market as Antler Reishi, deer antler reishi, branched reishi and lingzhi, and listed variously as Ganoderma multipileum, Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lingzhi — suppliers genuinely disagree on the name.

Our vigorous liquid culture provides active, healthy mycelium designed for reliable colonization and consistent performance, making it suitable for both newer growers and experienced mushroom cultivators.

Antler or Conk? The Culture Is the Same — the CO₂ Is Not

This is the single most common point of confusion with reishi, so it is worth stating plainly: antler reishi and the flat, kidney-shaped conk are the same organism, and the form you get is a cultivation variable rather than a genetic one. Antler formations are encouraged by sealing the growing environment and letting CO₂ build up while limiting fresh-air exchange. Open the bag and increase fresh-air exchange, and the same culture will produce classic laccate conks instead. If you want antlers, keep the FAE low.

  • Popular Functional Mushroom – Reishi has a long history of use in traditional wellness practices and remains one of the most recognized functional mushrooms worldwide.
  • Excellent Cultivation Project – Its unusual growth pattern makes Antler Reishi especially interesting for hobbyists, educators, and mushroom enthusiasts.
  • Long-Lasting Fruiting Bodies – Reishi develops dense, woody fruiting bodies that can be harvested and dried for extended storage.
  • Strong Colonization – Reishi mycelium is known for its dense, aggressive growth characteristics.

Lab-Tested Liquid Culture for Reliable Growth

Our Grospore Antler Reishi Liquid Culture Syringe contains vigorous living mycelium, lab-tested and prepared in our ISO-certified cleanroom to support healthy colonization and dependable cultivation performance.

Each 10ml (10cc) syringe offers:

  • Live Mycelium, Not Spores – This is a liquid culture (LC) syringe, not a spore syringe. There is no germination step, so colonization begins as soon as you inoculate.
  • Lab-Tested & ISO Cleanroom Prepared – Every batch is lab-tested for purity and prepared in an ISO-certified cleanroom, so what reaches you is clean, contaminant-free and viable.
  • Faster Colonization – Active mycelium helps promote efficient colonization compared with starting from spores.
  • Convenient 10ml (10cc) Syringe – 10cc and 10ml are the same volume. Easy to use with appropriately prepared sterile growing media, grain spawn or agar.
  • Antler-Selected Genetics – Cloned, isolated Ganoderma mycelium selected for dense, colorful antler formation under high-CO₂ conditions.

How to Grow Antler Reishi Mushrooms

  1. Prepare the Substrate – Hardwood sawdust-based substrates supplemented with appropriate nutrients are commonly used for Reishi cultivation. The same syringe can also be used to inoculate sterilized grain spawn, grain jars or bags, or an agar plate.
  2. Inoculate – Inject 2–3cc (2–3ml) per grain jar or bag through a self-healing injection port, using sterile technique in a still air box or in front of a laminar flow hood.
  3. Colonize – Allow the mycelium to fully colonize the substrate in suitable incubation conditions.
  4. Create Antler Conditions – Antler-like formations are generally encouraged by maintaining high humidity while limiting fresh-air exchange during early fruiting, letting CO₂ build up in the growing environment.
  5. Develop & Harvest – Allow the characteristic elongated Reishi formations to mature before harvesting.

  1. Meral Akgün

    Measured draw was right at volume, with visible strands throughout. For the price, that accuracy matters.

  2. Brett Mullins

    Inoculated grain cleanly, colonized fast, and produced the antler form as expected.

  3. Stacey

    Since I was not ready to inoculate right away, shelf life was the main thing I cared about. I stored the syringe upright in the refrigerator for a little over five weeks, inside the original packaging and away from the light. When I finally used it, the culture still looked healthy and moved across grain at a normal pace. The storage guidance was accurate and easy to follow.

    For me, the reason to reorder a liquid culture is consistency, not novelty, and this one earned a second purchase on specifics. My first syringe had visible suspended strands, drew smoothly through the needle, and stayed clean through two grain bags and one agar check. On the reorder, I looked for the same markers: proper fill level, intact cap, no leakage, and the same dense wispy growth in solution. It matched closely enough that I wrote the lot notes next to my first run. That repeatability matters with reishi because I wanted the same antler habit under low fresh air, not a surprise project. Second syringe performed like the first, which is exactly what makes me comfortable ordering it again.

  6. Noluthando Maseko

    Everything was packed neatly, syringe protected well, and nothing leaked. Nice little confidence boost.

  7. Clive R.

    Stored upright at 39F for seven weeks. Still had distinct strands and clean appearance.

    I bought this specifically for a classroom demo because I wanted something visually different from oyster grows. The explanation about CO2 and fresh air turned out to be the most helpful part of the listing. We ran two small bags side by side with different airflow, and the difference in shape was obvious enough for students to notice within days. That made it a great teaching culture, not just a grow. I would order it again for that purpose alone.

  10. Anonymous

    Having ordered a lot of liquid culture over the years, I can tell when instructions were written by someone who actually grows. The notes here were clear about storage, how much to use per jar, and the fact that antler versus conk form comes down to fresh air and CO2, not a different strain. That saved me from making the usual reishi beginner mistake. Straightforward, useful, and easy to follow.

  11. Vesna K.

    This showed up faster than some food deliveries in my town, which is flattering for the syringe and embarrassing for the restaurants. Tracking updated properly, package was discreet, and everything arrived in good shape.

  12. Pema Tshering

    I hesitated on the price at first because I have definitely bought cheaper culture syringes before, and those “bargains” usually turned into cloudy liquid, stalled jars, or a whole lot of wasted time. This one ended up feeling worth it. The syringe looked clean, the mycelium was active, and I got even growth across my grain without babysitting every step.

    What changed my mind was realizing the value is not just the 10cc itself, it is the odds of not having to start over. I used a few cc on one run, stored the rest cold, and came back to it later with no issue. If you already know contamination and failed starts cost money too, this makes more sense than the cheapest option on the page.

  13. Dwayne

    Left it chilled for weeks and it still looked lively. Shelf life seems legit.

  14. R. Patel

    Main thing I appreciated was the labeling and storage guidance. I put it straight in the fridge, used part on agar first, then moved it to grain once I saw clean growth. That extra step saved me time compared with a mystery syringe I bought elsewhere last year. The culture looked active, and the notes about antler vs conk form were actually useful instead of vague. Solid purchase for anyone who likes to test carefully before committing a whole bag.

  15. Bruce Y.

    Needed this for one very specific run: two filter patch bags of hardwood fuel pellets and bran, kept sealed on purpose so I could push antler formation instead of flat conks. That was the whole point. I used about 2.5cc per bag, shook well first, and both bags took off without the usual stalling nonsense. Once colonized, I left fresh air low and humidity high in a small tent. It did exactly what I bought it for. Long branching growth, nice color, no confusion about whether the culture could make antlers. It can. Your setup matters more than the syringe. Only reason this is not a perfect score is the needle felt a little larger than I prefer for tight injection ports. Still worked fine. If your goal is antlers in a sealed bag, this is a solid pick.
