Description
Black-Stalked Marasmius (Tetrapyrgos nigripes) is an elegant litter saprotroph, white-capped on a contrasting dark stipe, and this liquid culture delivers verified living stock of a species better known from genome papers than from grow rooms. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe contains live, actively growing Tetrapyrgos nigripes mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.
Culture is possible; fruiting is unproven. Genome-mining work confirms the species grows on PDA as a biomass source for biosynthetic studies, and no published protocol has fruited it. For the experimental grower or the metabolite-curious, that is an invitation.
Why Work With Black-Stalked Marasmius?
T. nigripes has drawn genuine scientific attention for its biosynthetic gene clusters, which is why laboratories keep it on PDA. A maintained culture supports natural products screening and marasmioid comparative work, and its saprotrophic litter ecology makes experimental fruiting trials biologically plausible for a patient cultivator.
Working Conditions:
Expand on PDA or MEA at 70 to 80 F. Malt extract and potato dextrose broths are the rational liquid media, mirroring what related litter saprobes accept. Monitor closely for contamination; fine marasmioid mycelium yields ground quickly if compromised.
Key Characteristics of Black-Stalked Marasmius (Tetrapyrgos nigripes):
- Ecology: Litter and twig saprotroph with distinctive white caps on wiry black stipes.
- Culture Behavior: Confirmed growth on PDA in published genome work; liquid expansion achievable on standard broths.
- Research Value: Carries biosynthetic gene clusters of active research interest for natural products work.
Taxonomy of Black-Stalked Marasmius (Tetrapyrgos nigripes):
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Phylum: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Agaricales
- Family: Marasmiaceae
- Genus: Tetrapyrgos
- Species: Tetrapyrgos nigripes
Storage and Usage Tips:
Store your Black-Stalked Marasmius liquid culture syringe in a cool, dark location and expand promptly onto agar to confirm clean growth before scaling.
