₹15000.00₹11000.00
Annulohypoxylon archeri (formerly Hypoxylon archeri) is a specialized Ascomycete fungus essential for advanced mushroom cultivation. In nature, this wood-decaying species acts as the biological host for the highly prized medicinal mushroom, Tremella fuciformis (Snow Fungus / Silver Ear). Without a healthy colony of A. archeri to decompose the wood substrate, Tremella cannot form its iconic gelatinous fruiting bodies.
This pure culture is isolated from vigorous wild specimens and maintained on nutrient-rich agar, making it perfect for:
Commercial Mushroom Farms: Growers looking to diversify into high-value medicinal mushrooms like Tremella.
Mycology Research: Educational institutions and labs studying Xylariaceae fungi, fungal succession, and secondary metabolites.
Bio-active Compound Studies: Research into the unique chemical properties of carbonaceous stromata.
⚠️ Taxonomy & Safety Note:
This species (Annulohypoxylon archeri) is a non-pathogenic wood-inhabiting fungus belonging to the Xylariaceae family. It is NOT related to the "Black Fungus" disease (Mucormycosis/Mucorales) affecting humans. This product is strictly for laboratory research and agricultural use.
