Bondarzewia berkeleyi

Berkeley's Polypore glass tube slant culture preserved on sterile nutrient agar for long term storage, genetic preservation, and advanced mycology work. Glass tube slants are highly valued by serious mycologists because they allow cultures to remain stable for extended periods while reducing the need for repeated transfers and minimizing the risk of contamination or culture degradation.

Berkeley's Polypore, Bondarzewia berkeleyi, is an impressive hardwood associated fungus known for producing enormous rosette shaped fruiting bodies at the base of mature hardwood trees. Distinguished by its creamy to tan overlapping lobes and remarkable size, this species is one of the largest polypores in North America and is prized by mycologists, photographers, and fungal collectors for its spectacular appearance and distinctive growth habit.

Bondarzewia berkeleyi develops from the roots and lower trunks of hardwood trees, producing massive clustered fruiting bodies that may weigh many pounds. Its unusual morphology and association with mature hardwood forests make it an outstanding species for educational cultivation, specialty fungal collections, display work, and advanced mycology research. It readily colonizes hardwood based substrates under suitable conditions and is an excellent representative of the large rosette forming polypores.
