What is the MYYCO Project?
MYYCO was created to offer a superior alternative to traditional mushroom spores. Instead of relying on spores, this project focuses on early-stage liquid cultures of mycelium, which allows for isolating and replicating the strongest, fastest, and highest-yielding genetics. All culinary liquid cultures produced by MYYCO are 100% USDA Certified Organic. The team developed a unique manufacturing process that completely eliminates synthetic, refined, or processed additives and preservatives in their liquid cultures. This approach not only achieves Organic certification but also ensures that the cultures are safe to grow and consume. Pretty impressive, right?

Why Liquid Cultures Over Spores?
Unlike spore syringes, which are infamous for contamination issues, MYYCO’s liquid culture syringes contain tiny pieces of nascent, undeveloped mycelium. This makes them much more reliable for microscopy research and cultivation. Mycologists often prefer liquid cultures because they reduce the risk of contamination significantly. Plus, the sterility of these cultures is guaranteed by MYYCO, giving users peace of mind. So, if you’re diving into mycology research or cultivation, liquid cultures are a game-changer.
MYYCO’s Commitment to Quality and Safety
The team behind MYYCO brings over 30 years of combined experience in creating contamination-resistant liquid cultures. Their 2,000 square foot mycology research lab is equipped with cutting-edge mycology and sterilization equipment, ensuring every syringe leaving the facility is medically sterilized. This dedication to quality means customers get a product they can trust, every single time. And if something does go wrong? MYYCO promises to replace or refund your order—no hassle, no fuss.
Legal and Ethical Standards
MYYCO strictly follows all federal and local laws regarding the sale of their “Microscopy Research” liquid cultures. It’s important to note that these cultures are legally sold for mycological microscopy research purposes only. MYYCO does not condone the growth of these cultures outside of legal boundaries. This transparency and adherence to the law reflect the company’s responsible approach to the industry.
Impact of the MYYCO Project
