Looking for high-quality spore vials? At Dutchmicrodosing, you’ll find carefully selected, sterile mushroom spores in vial form. Ideal for legal applications such as microscopy and mycology research, and – where permitted – starting mycelium. Order discreetly, quickly, and with expert support.
A spore vial contains a homogeneous, sterile spore solution of a specific mushroom species. Compared to a spore syringe or spore print, vials offer consistent dosing, longer shelf life, and controlled, clean work. This makes them popular with both beginners and advanced mycologists.
A spore vial contains millions of spores in a sterile solution. The uniform distribution ensures predictable use in research and – in jurisdictions where this is allowed – starting mushroom cultures. Our selection includes popular research lines and specialty variants.
For legal applications, follow a strict hygiene protocol. Work cleanly, disinfect materials, and ensure minimal air movement. General approach (non-step-by-step and non-species-specific):
This summary is not intended as instruction for prohibited cultivations. For microscopy and permitted species, generally applicable hygiene principles and documentation specific to your legal application are sufficient.
Depending on the species and application (e.g., edible/medicinal mushrooms where allowed), different substrates are used. Some common, generally applied media:
Rye grain or other grain mixes are often used as a carrier for mycelium build-up in legal cultivations of oyster mushrooms or lion’s mane, among others.
Rice flour mixes are sometimes used in entry-level methods for permitted species; they are accessible and relatively clean to process.
Sterilized sawdust/wood chips are suitable for wood-loving, legal species (e.g., shiitake, oyster mushroom). Add nutritional supplements according to local guidelines and species-specific documentation.
Note: A liquid culture spore syringe is easier to use because the mycelium is already developed, making colonization faster and more reliable than with loose spores.
Spore prints are ideal for advanced research, long-term archiving, and species diversity, while spore syringes are suitable for quick deployment, small volumes, and direct applications.
