{"product_id":"marasmius-tubulatus","title":"Beige Horsehair (Marasmius tubulatus) Liquid Culture Syringe","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeige Horsehair (Marasmius tubulatus) is a delicate litter-decomposing marasmioid, and this liquid culture makes a rarely offered taxon available as verified living stock. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe delivers live, actively growing Marasmius tubulatus mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis species is saprotrophic, which removes the fundamental barrier to culture work: no living host is required. No fruiting protocol has been published, and the fruitbodies are tiny, so the value here is the culture itself: clean expansion to agar, liquid biomass, and study of a genus the production literature has ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Work With Beige Horsehair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarasmius is a huge, ecologically vital genus that research has barely touched beyond taxonomy. A maintained living culture of M. tubulatus supports litter-decomposition studies, secondary metabolite screening, and comparative growth work across the marasmioid fungi, with the practical upside that saprotrophs are forgiving in culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpand on MEA at 70 to 80 F. Expect fine, low-density, whitish mycelium that can look sparse on the plate while still advancing steadily; that thread-like habit is characteristic of the horsehair fungi. Liquid expansion is achievable with standard malt-based broths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Characteristics of Beige Horsehair (Marasmius tubulatus):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEcology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saprotrophic litter decomposer producing wiry, horsehair-like stipes on forest debris.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCulture Behavior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine, low-density mycelium on agar; expandable to liquid culture on standard malt media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResearch Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rarely cultured marasmioid suited to decomposition ecology and metabolite screening work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaxonomy of Beige Horsehair (Marasmius tubulatus):\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 Agaricales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marasmiaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marasmius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marasmius tubulatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage and Usage Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore your Beige Horsehair liquid culture syringe in a cool, dark location.
