Poria cocos pure culture plate (Fu ling mushroom)

The Poria cocos Pure Culture Plate (Fu Ling Mushroom) from Agripie is a high-quality, axenic fungal culture developed under controlled laboratory conditions for research, strain maintenance, and medicinal mushroom biotechnology applications. Poria cocos is a well-documented medicinal fungus used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern pharmacological studies for its bioactive polysaccharides, triterpenes, and immunomodulatory properties.

This culture is established through single-source tissue isolation, ensuring genetic stability, reproducible mycelial characteristics, and freedom from bacterial or fungal contamination. On agar media, Poria cocos produces white to creamy-white mycelium, typically compact to slightly cottony, with steady and uniform radial growth under optimal incubation conditions.

The culture performs well on nutrient-balanced agar media and is suitable for sub-culturing, metabolite profiling, sclerotial development research, and controlled cultivation trials. Due to its medicinal importance, this culture is primarily intended for academic research, pharmaceutical R&D, herbal medicine studies, and advanced fungal biotechnology programs, rather than routine commercial mushroom farming.
