Meshima Meshimakobu Glass Tube Agar Slant
Phellinus linteus
Meshima Meshimakobu glass tube slant preserved on sterile nutrient agar for long term storage, genetic preservation, and advanced research. Glass tubes provide a practical format for maintaining live strains while reducing the need for frequent transfers and minimizing contamination risks.
Also known as Meshimakobu, Song Gen, or Black Hoof Mushroom, this perennial polypore develops thick, hoof shaped woody fruiting bodies that grow primarily on mulberry trees. Harvested throughout East Asia for centuries, the species holds a prominent place in traditional ethnobotanical history due to its functional bioactive properties. Its specialized wood decay mechanisms and slow, dense growth habit make it a compelling subject for comparative study, laboratory analysis, and serious collectors.
The mycelium adapts well to various wood enriched media under sterile laboratory conditions and should be stored in a cool, dark environment to ensure maximum viability. Suited for specialty cultivation trials, strain evaluation, and academic mycology, this specimen offers a solid foundation for studying medicinal polypores, lignicolous organisms, and unique secondary metabolites.
