Indoor Morel Cultivation
Strain was acquired through Penn State University to ensure quality/DNA.
Matching strain from Michigan State University will be tested here shortly also for redundancies.
We have successfully grown morels in the lab on multiple petri-dishes/agar media. Currently we are working on understanding their environmental needs and how we might tailor that to indoor practices like traditional mushroom farms.
Morels will soon be a fully cultivated mushroom for year round market production.

Upon arrival we cloned it on agar media, and then also cloned it in a liquid culture. Tissue containers and petri dishes were used in testing the first batch to test […]
