Oak Ridge Liquid Culture Syringe 10ml

The Oak Ridge phenotype was first documented near Oak Ridge, Tennessee, approximately 5 miles west of the Y-12 National Security Complex in 1998. This strain is known for producing dense, medium-sized fruiting bodies with caps that measure 3–6 cm in diameter. Caps start as convex with a rich caramel-brown center that fades toward lighter golden edges as they mature. Stems are slender to moderately thick, fibrous, and often display faint striations, standing 8–14 cm tall with a pale to golden coloration.

Oak Ridge exhibits fast colonization on grain spawn and bulk substrates, performing well in a variety of cultivation environments. Fruiting tends to be prolific, with clusters of uniform mushrooms that often cover the substrate in thick flushes. This strain maintains consistent structure and cap-to-stem ratio across multiple harvests.

Our liquid cultures arrive in high-quality 10ml laboratory-grade Luer-Lok syringes. Each order includes a sterile 1-inch, 16-gauge needle for microscopy slide dispensing.
