Description

Spring Polypore (Lentinus arcularius) is a proven-cultivable species: peer-reviewed work confirms fruiting body production in controlled conditions, and multiple independent studies have run it in submerged liquid culture. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe delivers live, actively growing Lentinus arcularius mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.

The published record is unusually practical: oatmeal broth culture at 77 F, 120 rpm, 14 days, across a wide pH tolerance, and documented fruiting in a Thai study. Not yet a commercial species, but the protocol skeleton is in the literature waiting to be fleshed out.

Why Grow Spring Polypore?
This is the polypore for a grower who wants published footing under an uncommon species: confirmed fruiting, characterized liquid culture, and an early-season temperate ecology that suits outdoor log and indoor sawdust experiments alike. The neat, honeycomb-pored caps are a bonus.

Working Conditions:
Expand on MEA or PDA at 72 to 80 F. Liquid culture is documented in oatmeal broth at 77 F with shaking for 14 days across pH 2 to 10, an unusually forgiving range. Fruit on supplemented hardwood sawdust per the published Thai work.

Key Characteristics of Spring Polypore (Lentinus arcularius):

• Ecology: Temperate saprotroph fruiting in spring on dead hardwood with neatly honeycombed pores.
• Culture Behavior: Documented submerged culture with wide pH tolerance and published fruiting success.
• Grower Value: A rare-list species with an actual peer-reviewed cultivation trail to follow.
