Exidia crenata, also known as the Amber Jelly Roll Mushroom, is a gelatinous wood-loving fungus that produces translucent amber to reddish-orange fruiting bodies. Though not commonly consumed in the West, this species is used in some cultures to create mushroom-based jelly candies, thanks to its firm and bouncy texture when cooked. It also serves as a striking visual addition to terrariums, forest displays, and fungal biodiversity collections.

This high-quality liquid culture features a clean, vigorous strain of Exidia crenata, suitable for inoculating sterilized grain spawn. Once colonized, the spawn can be transferred to pasteurized hardwood sawdust in substrate bags, supplemented sawdust blocks, or even directly onto small logs or bark-rich setups.
