Malt extract powder 50g

Nutrient source for liquid cultures in mushroom cultivation

Our high-quality malt powder (50 g) is a proven and popular nutrient source in mushroom cultivation and is ideally suited for the production of liquid culture media (e.g., for liquid culture – LC). It provides the mycelia with essential sugars, vitamins, and minerals necessary for strong and healthy growth.

Malt powder is primarily used in combination with water (often in conjunction with yeast extract or dextrose) to produce a liquid nutrient solution. In this solution, fungal mycelia can grow quickly and effectively before being transferred to a substrate.

Scope:

• Production of liquid cultures (LC) for mycelium propagation

• Supplementation or preparation of nutrient media for Petri dishes (e.g. MEA – Malt Extract Agar)

• Ideal for hobby breeders and professional mycology applications

Advantages of our malt powder:

• Fine, water-soluble powder – easy to dose

• Free from additives, suitable purely for microbiological applications

• High energy content to promote rapid mycelial growth

• Long shelf life when stored in a dry, cool place

Dosage recommendation:

For a standard liquid nutrient medium, a dosage of approximately 10–20 g of malt powder per liter of water is recommended. The amount can be adjusted depending on the mushroom species and desired growth characteristics.
