Discover the magic of glow in the dark mushrooms with Panellus stipticus, also known as bitter oyster, luminescent panellus, astringent panus,stiptic fungus, or foxfire. This fascinating species is one of the few bioluminescent fungi that emit a natural glow in both the mycelium and the fruiting body, creating a captivating display for mushroom growers and nature lovers alike.

Not just for show, Panellus stipticus is also being studied for its potential in bioremediation, thanks to its ability to break down environmental toxins and pollutants.

How to Grow Panellus stipticus, Bioluminescent Mushroom Cultivation Guide

• Start with a liquid culture of Panellus stipticus to inoculate sterilized grain spawn

• Once colonized, transfer the spawn to deciduous hardwood substrates such as oak, beech, or maple, ideal for supporting strong mycelial growth and brightness

• Within a few weeks, the glowing mycelium will become visible on agar plates, grain spawn, or the wood-based substrate

• As the mushrooms mature, the primordia and fruiting bodies will emit the brightest bioluminescence, best viewed in total darkness

• To initiate fruiting, cut a small slit in the top corner of the colonized grow bag and place it in a humidity chamber or mushroom grow tent

• The colonized grain can also be used to create mushroom plug spawn or inoculate glowing mushroom logs for outdoor or indoor cultivation

Whether you're a fungi enthusiast, a mushroom cultivator, or simply drawn to bioluminescent organisms, Panellus stipticus offers an unforgettable growing experience. Perfect for science projects, home displays, or natural lighting art installations.
