Produced in Italy by Fungaia. Intended for strain maintenance, microscopy and laboratory transfer, not for fruiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoletus edulis (porcini) is a mycorrhizal mushroom. It forms a living partnership with the roots of a host tree (oak, chestnut, beech, spruce, pine). It is not a saprotroph. It cannot be grown on grain spawn, on sawdust blocks, or in a fruiting chamber the way oyster, lion\u0026#x27;s mane or shiitake are grown. Documented success at producing porcini fruiting bodies in the wild or in a garden from purchased culture is unproven. This listing is for mycology collectors and laboratory study. You may attempt colonization of host-tree seedlings or forest soil as an experiment; there is no promise of mushrooms, yield, or a working mycorrhiza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne colonized Petri dish of Boletus edulis on agar\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSealed for shipping, produced in our laboratory\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpecies label: Porcini \/ Boletus edulis\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNot a fruiting culture and not a garden inoculant with a guaranteed result\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWill not colonize grain spawn or produce mushrooms in a grow tent\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNot a proven way to establish porcini under trees\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLaboratory and experimental use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the plate for collection, isolation work and clean transfers onto fresh agar.
