Resinous Polypore Mushroom Ischnoderma resinosum Liquid Culture, soft-fleshed wild polypore for hardwood cultivation and medicinal mushroom research

Ischnoderma resinosum, commonly known as the resinous polypore mushroom, is a dark, velvety, soft-fleshed polypore that grows on hardwood stumps and logs in temperate forests. When young, this species exudes a resin-like substance and has a pleasant aroma with tender texture, making it an excellent wild edible when harvested early. As it matures, it becomes tough and is often used in medicinal extracts, teas, or tinctures due to its bioactive compounds and antioxidant potential.

This high-quality liquid culture enables cultivators to grow Ischnoderma resinosum on hardwood sawdust blocks, logs, or buried wood debris in shaded, moist outdoor environments. It is ideal for mushroom foragers, forest gardeners, mycologists, and natural health enthusiasts looking to add a unique and useful species to their growing list.
