{"product_id":"cantharellus-cuticulatus","title":"Apricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus) Liquid Culture Syringe","description":"\u003cp\u003eApricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus) is an ectomycorrhizal chanterelle, and this liquid culture is produced for the work that suits it: agar expansion, culture preservation, and host inoculation research. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe delivers live, actively growing Cantharellus cuticulatus mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all chanterelles, this species will not fruit on inert substrate. It requires a living, compatible host tree to complete its life cycle, and no peer-reviewed protocol has fruited any chanterelle on grain or sawdust. What has been demonstrated is mycelial culture on malt extract agar, and that is the realistic working platform this syringe gives you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Work With Apricot Chanterelle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVerified living chanterelle cultures are among the scarcest holdings in any culture library. Chanterelle mycelium grows slowly and resists domestication, which is exactly why maintained, actively growing stock of Cantharellus cuticulatus carries real value for mycorrhizal synthesis trials, chanterelle systematics, and long-horizon host inoculation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpand onto MEA at 68 to 77 F in darkness. Expect fluffy to slightly rhizomorphic colony growth with the slow radial expansion typical of ectomycorrhizal species. Aseptic discipline decides the outcome here: slow movers give opportunistic molds every opening, so transfer early and keep backups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Characteristics of Apricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEcology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Obligate ectomycorrhizal partner of forest trees; fruiting occurs only in association with a living host root system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCulture Behavior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Culturable on malt extract agar with slow, deliberate radial growth; liquid expansion produces viable biomass for plates and preservation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResearch Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the few chanterelle taxa available as verified living culture, suited to mycorrhizal synthesis and taxonomy work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaxonomy of Apricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKingdom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fungi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhylum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basidiomycota\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agaricomycetes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantharellales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantharellaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantharellus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantharellus cuticulatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage and Usage Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore your Apricot Chanterelle liquid culture syringe in a cool, dark location and expand it onto fresh media promptly.
