Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus) Liquid Culture Syringe
Introducing the Shaggy Mane, scientifically known as Coprinus comatus, a fascinating mushroom with a rich history and unique characteristics. This product comes in a 10cc liquid culture syringe, containing living mushroom mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich broth.
Product Details
The liquid culture can be conveniently stored at room temperatures for up to six months. It is designed for inoculating sterilized grains, agar media, or even more liquid culture. Each purchase includes a 10cc liquid culture syringe and a needle, ensuring you have everything you need for successful inoculation.
Taxonomy and Historical Significance
The Shaggy Mane belongs to the Agaricaceae family and has been a subject of interest since its initial description by Danish naturalist Otto Friedrich Müller in 1780. Its unique appearance, resembling a "shaggy" or "hairy" cap, is attributed to its specific name "comatus".
Natural Habitat & Growth Patterns
Commonly found in urban green areas, grasslands, and meadows across Europe and North America, the Shaggy Mane has a preference for unexpected places. It thrives from June to November in the UK and has even made its way to Australia, New Zealand, and Iceland.
Cultivation Insights
For those interested in cultivation, it's worth noting that Coprinus comatus has nematophagous properties, allowing it to kill and digest nematodes. This feature can be particularly beneficial in controlling nematode populations in cultivation substrates.
Edibility and Uses
The Shaggy Mane is edible when young, with its gills transitioning from white to pink and eventually to black. Due to its rapid autodigestion, it's recommended to consume shortly after collection. For extended storage, methods like microwaving or sautéing are advised. This species is also a popular choice for culinary purposes in China.
Precautions
While the Shaggy Mane is a delight for many, it's essential to differentiate it from similar species like Coprinopsis atramentaria, which can cause coprine poisoning when consumed with alcohol.
