The mushroom that glows in the dark! Plug spawn for 3-4 logs. These mushrooms cannot be eaten, and are for novelty use only! After working with several species of bioluminescent fungi, we have selected Panellus stipticus for ease of cultivation and reliable glowing effects. The primordia, pins and mushrooms themselves glow very brightly and can be easily observed in less than complete darkness. In nature, Pan. stipticus is found growing on logs and is shaped somewhat like a small leathery oyster mushroom. The cultures are sold as a novelty only and do not produce edible or internally medicinal mushrooms! There is little information regarding the toxicity of this mushroom when eaten but it was reportedly used at one time externally to staunch bleeding. Create your own glowing mushroom logs using our 5/16in x 1in spiral grooved colonized plug spawn.
