Description

Rosy Parachute (Marasmius pulcherripes) is a pink-capped pinwheel of extraordinary delicacy, and this liquid culture delivers verified living stock of a species whose culturability is anchored by an archived ATCC strain. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe contains live, actively growing Marasmius pulcherripes mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.

The mycelium grows, the fruiting remains unpublished as a cultivation target, and the ATCC archive (strain 76373, maintained on yeast-malt agar) confirms this species keeps in laboratory conditions. As a litter saprotroph it requires no host and no exotic media.

Why Work With Rosy Parachute?
Few tiny tropical-temperate parachutes come with an ATCC pedigree. That archived strain history makes M. pulcherripes a credible subject for comparative marasmioid work, and its rose-pink pleated caps make it one of the most charming species in the pinwheel group for any collector.

Working Conditions:
Expand on YM or MEA at 70 to 80 F, following the yeast-malt preference in the ATCC record. Expect fine, low-density horsehair-style growth. Gentle handling and sealed plates keep it happiest.

Key Characteristics of Rosy Parachute (Marasmius pulcherripes):

• Ecology: Litter saprotroph fruiting as delicate rose-pink pleated parachutes.
• Culture Behavior: Maintained at ATCC on yeast-malt agar, confirming stable laboratory culture.
• Collector Value: An archival-pedigree rarity among the pinwheel marasmioids.
