Luminous Porecap Favolaschia manipularis Bioluminescent Mushroom Liquid Culture, rare glowing tropical fungus for artistic display scientific research and terrarium cultivation

Favolaschia manipularis, commonly known as the Luminous Porecap, is a visually striking bioluminescent mushroom species found in tropical forests. This exotic fungus produces tiny, pore-like fruiting bodies that naturally emit a soft greenish glow in complete darkness. It grows on decaying wood and is admired for its glowing properties, which result from biochemical reactions in the mycelium and fruiting body.

Important note: Favolaschia manipularis is a toxic and poisonous mushroom species. It is not edible and should never be consumed. This culture is intended for visual display, research, and educational purposes only.

This high-quality liquid culture contains a vigorous strain of Favolaschia manipularis ideal for colonizing sterilized grain or agar. The spawn can then be transferred to small hardwood chips, twigs, or decayed wood in high-humidity terrariums or sealed display environments to promote visual growth and bioluminescence.
