Description

Purpline Pinwheel (Marasmius purpureostriatus) is a purple-striped tropical parachute, and this liquid culture delivers verified living stock with published culture behavior behind it. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe contains live, actively growing Marasmius purpureostriatus mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.

This species grows in laboratory culture on standard agar and liquid media, with documented success in potato dextrose broth producing harvestable biomass in one to two weeks. Fruiting under controlled conditions remains unattempted in the literature, open ground for the patient.

Why Work With Purpline Pinwheel?
Among the pinwheel marasmioids, this one comes with receipts: published liquid culture success and a growth rate that makes it practical bench material. That combination, striking species plus cooperative culture, is precisely what comparative marasmioid work and litter ecology studies want.

Working Conditions:
Expand on MEA or PDA at 74 to 82 F. Liquid culture in potato dextrose broth at around 77 F produces harvestable mycelial biomass in one to two weeks per published work. Standard fine-mat marasmioid handling applies.

Key Characteristics of Purpline Pinwheel (Marasmius purpureostriatus):

• Ecology: Tropical litter saprotroph fruiting as purple-striped pleated parachutes.
• Culture Behavior: Documented success on agar and in PDB, with biomass in one to two weeks.
• Research Value: A cooperative, published culture subject among the rarely grown pinwheels.
