Mycorestoration Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Pack Overview
The Mycorestoration Mushroom Cultures 5 Pack combines specialized bioremediation fungi with highly productive saprotrophic species, covering the full range of what applied mycology looks like in environmental restoration contexts. Mycorestoration uses fungal mycelium to break down contaminants, stabilize disturbed soils, reduce runoff, and support ecosystem recovery. This pack gives practitioners access to both the specialized degradation species and the productive saprotrophs that build soil structure and mycelial networks in restoration sites.
Mycorestoration Liquid Culture 5 Pack — Included Species
Pestalotiopsis microspora Liquid Culture
Pestalotiopsis microspora is included here for its documented polyurethane degradation capability, the bioremediation application most relevant to contaminated site restoration involving petroleum-derived plastics and synthetic compounds.
Pestalotiopsis microspora — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Application | Synthetic compound degradation; relevant to contaminated site restoration |
| 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 Liquid Culture
Phanerochaete chrysosporium is the most studied white rot fungus for ligninolytic enzyme production and persistent organic pollutant degradation. It is the workhorse bioremediation species that restoration practitioners reach for first when dealing with PAH and chlorinated compound contamination.
Phanerochaete chrysosporium — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) Liquid Culture
Turkey Tail is one of the better documented bioremediation species among the edible and medicinal mushrooms, with capacity to degrade petroleum compounds and heavy metal accumulation from contaminated substrate. It colonizes hardwood aggressively and is one of the first species to colonize disturbed forest sites naturally.
Turkey Tail — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Restoration value | Colonizes disturbed sites naturally; documented petroleum compound degradation |

Blue Oyster (Pleurotus columbinus) Liquid Culture
Pleurotus species including blue oyster have been extensively studied for mycoremediation applications, particularly petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. Blue oyster's aggressive colonization and broad substrate tolerance make it a practical choice for restoration practitioners establishing mycelial networks in disturbed sites.
Blue Oyster — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Restoration value | Petroleum hydrocarbon degradation; broad substrate tolerance for disturbed sites |
| Practicality | Aggressive colonizer — reliable establishment in restoration contexts |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |

Giant Puffball (Calvatia gigantea) Liquid Culture
Giant Puffball contributes deep saprotrophic mycelial networks to restoration sites, helping build soil organic matter and support the microbial community structure that disturbed sites need to recover. It establishes in open meadow and edge habitats that often characterize remediation sites.
Giant Puffball — Out-Grow Lab Notes
| Parameter | Out-Grow Notes |
| Culture medium | LME + dextrose, 2% + 2% in distilled water |
| Restoration value | Deep saprotrophic mycelial networks; soil organic matter building |
| Habitat | Open meadows and edge habitats — common remediation site types |
| Inoculation rate | 2 to 3cc per quart of sterilized grain or hardwood substrate |
| Storage life | 6 or more months at normal room temperature |
