Out-Grow's liquid culture syringe contains live, actively growing Scleroderma sinnamariense mycelium in sterile nutrient solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an ectomycorrhizal species, it will not fruit on inert substrate; it fruits from partnership with living host trees. Scleroderma, notably, is one of the most practically useful mycorrhizal genera in cultivation: its species are workhorse inoculants in forestry nurseries worldwide, and that is this culture's natural career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Work With Yellow Earthballs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScleroderma inoculum is used globally to establish mycorrhizae on nursery seedlings, and S. sinnamariense extends that toolkit into tropical host systems with a species of striking color. For mycorrhizal researchers and nursery experimenters, this is applied material, not just a collection piece. Note plainly: earthballs are not edible; this is research and inoculation stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpand on MEA at 74 to 82 F in darkness.
