Stargazer – Liquid Culture Syringe

Stargazer earns its name through the way it presents itself: a field of slender, upright fruitbodies holding their caps like tiny telescopes pointed toward the sky. The caps come in soft earth tones — pale cream around the margins with deeper caramel and bronze centers — giving each cluster a warm, lunar gradation when viewed from above. Young primordia appear as dense arrays of spherical “stars,” creating a canopy that looks almost astronomical in scale before the taller structures rise through it.

The phenotype is notably uniform, with tight clustering and consistent cap form, producing a visual that feels organized and rhythmic rather than chaotic. When fully mature, caps broaden just slightly but retain their roundness and proportion, preserving that stargazing silhouette that has made this strain recognizable among collectors and microscopy enthusiasts.

In liquid culture, Stargazer forms smooth, active mycelial networks that suspend evenly and show clean, continuous structure — aligning with the strain’s orderly fruiting presentation. It is a culture appreciated for its aesthetic precision, its density, and the way it “fills the tray” in a way that feels mapped rather than random.
