Species & Strain

Processing times

Plate cultures are ideal for growers looking to make master bags, inoculate grain, make liquid culture, or make more plates.

Our morel plates are made to order in our in-house lab using medical-grade petri dishes. If properly stored upon arrival, they have a shelf life of approximately 6 months. Morel plates should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain viability. Note that mycelium cultures require basic lab skills. Handle using sterile technique to prevent contamination.

NSME1 - Morchella esculenta

  • Morel strain from a culture collection in New York.

NSME2 - Morchella esculentoides

  • Spore isolate from a morel from the mid-western US.

NSMsp1 - Morchella spp.

  • Cloned from a wild burn-site morel in New Hampshire; our selected strain for sawdust spawn. Intrepid growers can match its original growing conditions using burned substrate as a non-nutritive layer, which encourages the Morel mycelium to spread deeper into the soil to seek nutrients.

NSMsp2 - Morchella spp.

  • Cloned from a wild specimen in NH found growing under fruit trees.

NSMsp3 - Morchella spp.

  • Just a few steps from our door in Westbrook, Maine, poking out of the sidewalk, the aptly-named "Brown Street Baby" morel.

Detailed information about our sawdust spawn strain, morel ecology, and ideas for cultivation can be found in our Morel Species Spotlight.
