Very Viable

Great spores/LC, haven’t been disappointed yet. For me, this strain has been quite the slow mover but very rich colonization. Great products, very great customer service!

Beautiful cultures

Mmm has the best cultures. I ordered a warm fruiting shiitake syringe along with a lions mane, and a vendor's choice at checkout, which happen to be pink oyster! All 3 cultures were absolutely amazing. Nice and thick syringes ready for grains. I got all 3 to oats right away and everything is look clean and growing well. The pink oyster took off and colonized my jar in 10 days! Just amazing. Really looking forward to fruits in a few weeks. I Def recommend MMM to anyone wanting to start gourmet mushrooms.

Great shiitake genetics!

These shiitakes did great for me. They colonized relatively quick (for shiitake) and produced some nice, healthy fruits!
