Blushing Morel Culture (Morchella rufobrunnea) – 10 ml Syringe
Early-season rosy morel LC; ideal for outdoor wood-chip beds or indoor R&D casing trials.
Description
Bring the Coveted Blushing Morel to Your Backyard or Lab
The Blushing Morel (Morchella rufobrunnea) is famed for its rosy-tan caps, early-season fruiting, and rich nutty flavor. Our 10 ml liquid-culture syringe contains a vigorously isolated RU-3 strain that colonizes grain quickly and transitions easily to outdoor beds or indoor experimental setups.
Why Grow This Strain?
- Early Fruiter • Pins at 55–65 °F, giving you morel harvests weeks before other species.
- Dual Habitat • Performs in raised wood-chip beds and controlled indoor casing trials.
- Clean & Viable • Triple-plate tested, PCR-screened, and hand-inspected for contaminants.
- Ready to Inject • Luer-Lock syringe + sterile 18 G needle included—no additional hardware needed.
- Premium Nutrient Broth • 4 % light malt + yeast extract keeps mycelium active during transit.

Inoculation & Spawn Prep
- Sterilize grain jars or bags (rye, wheat, or millet recommended).
- Flame-sterilize the needle, cool, then inject 1–2 ml per lb of grain.
- Shake grain at 25 % colonization to speed up distribution.
- Fully colonized grain becomes “spawn” for outdoor or indoor substrate.
Outdoor Bed Method (Recommended)
- Create a 2″–3″ layer of hardwood chips mixed 50 % with finished compost.
- Mix in the fully colonized grain spawn at a 1 : 10 rate (spawn : bed).
- Maintain moisture with light daily misting; mulch lightly with straw or leaf litter.
- Expect first flush the following cool, wet season—often 6–9 months after spawning.
Indoor Trial Tips
- Case colonized substrate with 1 ″ peat/coir + 10 % gypsum.
- Drop temperature 10 °F and maintain 90 % RH to trigger sclerotia conversion.
- Provide 8–12 hrs diffuse light; patience is key—morels may take 2–4 weeks to pin.
