Description

Tetrapyrgos sp. is our lab's maintained isolate from this elegant marasmioid genus, offered at genus level as an honest identification, and this liquid culture delivers verified living stock. Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe contains live, actively growing Tetrapyrgos mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.

Tetrapyrgos species are litter and twig saprotrophs, white-capped on dark stipes, with the genus best known scientifically for the biosynthetic gene work done on T. nigripes. A genus-level isolate extends that shelf with material awaiting its own identification story.

Why Work With Tetrapyrgos sp.?
Paired with our T. nigripes culture, this isolate enables the comparison that genus-level material is for: sequence both, contrast growth and chemistry, and you are doing real systematics at the home lab bench. Saprotrophic ecology keeps the culture care routine while you do it.

Working Conditions:
Expand on PDA or MEA at 70 to 80 F. Expect fine, thin, even mats in the marasmioid manner. Malt and potato dextrose broths are the rational liquid media, following what the genus accepts in published work.

Key Characteristics of Tetrapyrgos sp.:

• Ecology: Litter and twig saprotroph in a genus of white-capped, dark-stiped marasmioids.
• Culture Behavior: Fine, thin mats on standard media with routine care requirements.
• Research Value: Genus-level comparative material alongside our identified T. nigripes stock.
