Description

Hairy Oyster Mushroom (Panus lecomtei) is a cultivable, research-documented species, successfully fruited on sawdust substrates and grown in submerged liquid culture at research scale. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe delivers live, actively growing Panus lecomtei mycelium in sterile nutrient solution, ready for agar, grain, or substrate work.

The peer-reviewed record covers both solid-substrate fruiting and submerged fermentation for metabolite production, an unusually strong foundation for a species this uncommon in commerce. Precise optimization is still open, which leaves useful room for the grower who keeps records.

Why Grow Hairy Oyster Mushroom?
P. lecomtei brings proven fruiting on sawdust plus a documented enzyme and metabolite profile that has drawn biotech attention, dye decolorization and lignocellulose work among it. Its tough, bristly-capped fruiting bodies and warm-climate vigor make it a distinctive, achievable addition beyond the standard oyster lineup.

Working Conditions:
Expand on MEA or PDA at 75 to 85 F. Fruit on supplemented hardwood sawdust with high humidity; published work confirms the pathway while exact parameters remain unoptimized. Vigor at warm temperatures is a feature of the species.

Key Characteristics of Hairy Oyster Mushroom (Panus lecomtei):

• Ecology: Warm-climate wood-decay saprotroph with tough, hairy-capped, oyster-like fruiting bodies.
• Culture Behavior: Documented in submerged fermentation and sawdust fruiting at research scale.
• Grower Value: A proven-cultivable rarity with published substrate success and open optimization territory.

Taxonomy of Hairy Oyster Mushroom (Panus lecomtei):

• Kingdom: Fungi
• Phylum: Basidiomycota
• Class: Agaricomycetes
• Order: Polyporales
• Genus: Panus
• Species: Panus lecomtei

Storage and Usage Tips:
Store your Hairy Oyster liquid culture syringe in a cool, dark location and use within six months for peak vigor. It scales willingly from agar to grain to sawdust.
