Chicken of the Woods Cultures

Cultures are made to order as agar plates. We do not sell liquid culture at this time.

Laetiporus cincinatus NSLC1: Cultured from a wild specimen at Winslow Farm in Falmouth ME. Distinct from sulphureus, cincinatus has a paler, creamier color.

Laetiporus sulphureus NSLS1: Cultured from a wild specimen growing on oak at Winslow Farm in Falmouth ME. We use this strain for outdoor spawn--cultivating Chicken of the Woods is an experimental effort, and we recommend sterilizing sections of oak and incubating them in filter patch bags for several months before burying it under 2 inches of soil.

Laetiporus sulphureus NSLS2: Cultured from a wild specimen growing at Overlook Farm in Windham, ME.
