SNOW FUNGUS (TERMELLA FUCIFORMIS) C0181

Snow Fungus (Tremella fuciformisis) a species of fungus; it produces white, frond-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruiting bodies). It is widespread, especially in the tropics, where it can be found on the dead branches of broadleaf trees. This fungus is commercially cultivated and is one of the most popular fungi in the cuisine and medicine of China. 

Tremella fuciformis is a parasitic yeast, and grows as a slimy, mucous-like film until it encounters its preferred host Annulohypoxylon archeri, then invades, triggering the aggressive mycelial growth required to form the fruiting bodies.

Our liquid culture syringes are ~20ml and come sealed in a plastic sleeve with a sterile 16 gauge needle and alcohol wipe.

About liquid culture:

Liquid culture is mycelium suspended in a nutrient-rich medium. Syringes are beginner-friendly and ideal for those looking for an easy way to inoculate grain bags and jars. 

Using liquid culture:

For best results, refrigerate upon receipt. Syringes should be inserted into a self-healing injection port. Always handle using sterile technique and shake thoroughly before use. We recommended inoculation in either a still air box or flow hood to reduce the possibility of contamination. If you plan to re-use your needle, sterilize before and after each subsequent use.
