Ischnoderma resinosum Culture Plate

The Ischnoderma resinosum Culture Plate from Agripie is a high-purity, axenic fungal culture prepared under controlled laboratory conditions for research, strain maintenance, and applied mycology studies. Ischnoderma resinosum, commonly known as the Resinous Polypore, is a saprotrophic to weakly parasitic basidiomycete recognized for its brown-rot wood decay capabilities and potential relevance in enzymatic and biotechnological research.

This culture is established using single-source tissue isolation, ensuring genetic consistency, stable colony morphology, and freedom from bacterial or fungal contamination. On agar media, the mycelium typically exhibits white to cream-colored growth, moderately dense texture, and steady radial expansion under optimal incubation conditions.

The culture performs reliably on standard fungal growth media and is suitable for sub-culturing, enzyme screening, lignocellulose degradation studies, and ecological research. Due to its role in forest ecosystems and wood decay processes, I. resinosum is of particular interest to forestry researchers, environmental microbiologists, and fungal biotechnology laboratories.
