Grow the highly prized Boletus edulis, commonly known as the Porcini Mushroom, using our sterile Pure Culture Plate. Revered in European and global cuisines, Porcini mushrooms are famous for their nutty, earthy aroma and dense, meaty texture—making them a gourmet favorite.
Boletus edulis forms ectomycorrhizal associations with trees such as pine, spruce, oak, and chestnut, meaning it grows in symbiosis with their root systems. While cultivating this species requires patience and the right outdoor environment, this pure culture plate is ideal for researchers, tree-inoculation trials, and long-term forestry-based cultivation strategies.
