10 cc/ml liquid fungi mycology culture syringe with a sterile needle.

Plastic Eating Mushroom, Pestalotiopsis microspora, is a rare and fascinating species known for its ability to break down polyurethane, one of the most persistent plastics in the environment. Discovered in tropical forest soils, this fungus has gained global attention for its unique metabolic pathways that allow it to digest plastic even in low oxygen conditions. It is widely studied in biotechnology, environmental science, and experimental mycology for its potential role in sustainable waste management and biodegradation research.

Pestalotiopsis microspora grows on a variety of nutrient sources and adapts well to controlled lab settings, making it ideal for researchers, educators, and advanced mycologists interested in environmental applications. While not a culinary or medicinal species, it offers an exciting opportunity to explore novel fungal biology, plastic degradation studies, and ecological innovation. This strain performs well on enriched woody substrates and experimental media designed for biodegradation work.
