Chestnut Liquid Culture Syringe 10cc

Chestnut (Pholiota adiposa) is a charming gourmet species recognized for its clustered growth and warm autumn palette. Caps develop in rich tones of caramel and chestnut-brown, their surfaces dotted with fine, delicate scales that give the mushroom a textured, almost rustic appearance. Gills run dense beneath the cap in cream to pale cinnamon hues, gradually deepening as spores mature. Stems are slender, crisp, and lightly fibrous — elegant in form when viewed as tight bouquets across wood-based substrate.

In culture, Chestnut forms vigorous, branching mycelium with a steady pace, favoring hardwood and supplemented mediums. It produces firm, structured clusters that grow with balanced symmetry, often forming photogenic bouquets that blend beauty with utility. Under magnification, spores present smooth, ellipsoid patterns characteristic of the Pholiota genus — subtle yet distinct for taxonomic study.

Chestnut stands out not for intensity, but for refinement — a mushroom of detail, texture, and seasonal earthiness valued among gourmet researchers and phenotype collectors.
