Black Morel Culture Plate (Morchella importuna)

Morchella importuna, commonly known as the Black Morel, is one of the most commercially relevant morel species, widely studied for its relatively higher adaptability to managed environments compared to other Morchella species. It is highly valued for its distinctive dark ridged cap, rich umami flavor, and importance in advanced morel cultivation research.

This Black Morel Culture Plate contains a laboratory-isolated, contamination-free pure culture, maintained under strictly controlled conditions to ensure mycelial vigor and genetic stability. The culture is suitable for life-cycle studies, sclerotia formation research, substrate optimization, and experimental fruiting trials, and is recommended for experienced researchers, institutions, and advanced growers.

Agripie preserves all morel cultures under stringent quality control protocols, ensuring traceability, viability, and consistency across batches.
