Bioremediation Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Pack Overview

The Bioremediation Mushroom Cultures 5 Pack brings together five fungal species selected for their documented capacity to degrade environmental contaminants, break down synthetic compounds, or decompose recalcitrant organic materials. This pack is not for culinary cultivation. It is for researchers, environmental scientists, mycoremediation practitioners, and anyone working on applied fungal ecology. We have maintained cultures of all five species for years specifically for this research community.

Bioremediation Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Included Species

Pestalotiopsis microspora Liquid Culture

Pestalotiopsis microspora gained significant research attention following the 2011 Yale rainforest study that documented its capacity to degrade polyurethane in anaerobic conditions, one of the most exciting mycoremediation findings in recent years. We carry this culture specifically for researchers working on plastic degradation and novel bioremediation applications.

Pestalotiopsis microspora — Out-Grow Lab Notes

Parameter Out-Grow Notes
Culture medium LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water
Research significance Documented polyurethane degradation capability; 2011 Yale study
Best use Research, plastic degradation experiments, mycoremediation projects
Inoculation rate 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate
Storage life 6 or more months at normal room temperature

Pestalotiopsis microspora Taxonomy

  • Kingdom: Fungi
  • Division: Ascomycota
  • Class: Sordariomycetes
  • Order: Amphisphaeriales
  • Family: Sporocadaceae
  • Genus: Pestalotiopsis
  • Species: Pestalotiopsis microspora

Phanerochaete chrysosporium Liquid Culture

Phanerochaete chrysosporium is the white rot fungus most studied for ligninolytic enzyme production and xenobiotic compound degradation. It produces lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase enzymes that can break down persistent organic pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated compounds. One of the most thoroughly characterized bioremediation fungi in the scientific literature.

Phanerochaete chrysosporium — Out-Grow Lab Notes

Parameter Out-Grow Notes
Culture medium LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water
Enzymes Lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase — xenobiotic compound degradation
Research status Most thoroughly characterized white rot bioremediation fungus in the literature
Inoculation rate 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate
Storage life 6 or more months at normal room temperature

Phanerochaete chrysosporium Taxonomy

  • Kingdom: Fungi
  • Division: Basidiomycota
  • Class: Agaricomycetes
  • Order: Polyporales
  • Family: Phanerochaetaceae
  • Genus: Phanerochaete
  • Species: Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Beauveria bassiana Liquid Culture

Beauveria bassiana is a well-documented entomopathogenic fungus used as a biocontrol agent against a wide range of insect pests. It is commercially formulated as a biopesticide approved for organic agriculture. We carry this culture for researchers studying biocontrol applications, insect pathology, and the intersection of entomopathogenic fungi with integrated pest management.

Beauveria bassiana — Out-Grow Lab Notes

Parameter Out-Grow Notes
Culture medium LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water
Application Biocontrol against insect pests; approved for organic agriculture
Best use Research, biocontrol experiments, integrated pest management work
Inoculation rate 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate
Storage life 6 or more months at normal room temperature

Beauveria bassiana Taxonomy

  • Kingdom: Fungi
  • Division: Ascomycota
  • Class: Sordariomycetes
  • Order: Hypocreales
  • Family: Cordycipitaceae

Metarhizium anisopliae Liquid Culture

Metarhizium anisopliae is one of the most widely used entomopathogenic fungi in biocontrol research and commercial biopesticide applications globally, effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests in soil and above-ground environments. It has also attracted attention for its capacity to promote plant growth and its role in mycorrhizal rhizosphere ecology.

Metarhizium anisopliae — Out-Grow Lab Notes

Parameter Out-Grow Notes
Culture medium LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water
Application Broadly effective biocontrol against soil and above-ground insect pests
Also studied for Plant growth promotion; rhizosphere ecology
Inoculation rate 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate
Storage life 6 or more months at normal room temperature

Metarhizium anisopliae Taxonomy

  • Kingdom: Fungi
  • Division: Ascomycota
  • Class: Sordariomycetes
  • Order: Hypocreales
  • Family: Clavicipitaceae
  • Genus: Metarhizium
  • Species: Metarhizium anisopliae

Cordyceps militaris Liquid Culture

Cordyceps militaris is included in the Bioremediation pack for its entomopathogenic biology and its capacity to colonize insect hosts, giving researchers working on biological control and host-pathogen dynamics access to a species with a documented and well-characterized infection mechanism alongside the other entomopathogenic species in this collection.

Cordyceps militaris — Out-Grow Lab Notes

Parameter Out-Grow Notes
Culture medium LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water
Relevance Entomopathogenic biology; documented host infection mechanism
Also cultivatable on Grain substrate without live host — gives dual-use research value
Inoculation rate 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate
Storage life 6 or more months at normal room temperature

Cordyceps militaris Taxonomy

  • Kingdom: Fungi
  • Division: Ascomycota
  • Class: Sordariomycetes
