Pearl Sawgill Lentinus concavus Liquid Culture, rare wood-loving edible mushroom for hardwood cultivation and naturalized outdoor growing

Lentinus concavus, commonly known as the Pearl Sawgill mushroom, is a rare hardwood-decomposing fungus known for its beautifully concave, pearl-toned cap and saw-toothed gills. This species belongs to the Lentinus genus and is closely related to other tropical and subtropical edible mushrooms. It thrives on dead hardwood logs and sawdust substrates, making it a unique and rewarding species for cultivators interested in wild-simulated growing or expanding their edible mushroom collection.

This high-quality liquid culture provides a clean and aggressive strain of Lentinus concavus, ideal for inoculating sterilized grain spawn. Once colonized, the grain can be transferred to pasteurized sawdust, wood chips, or used to make plug spawn for outdoor log inoculation.
