The collection
Hericium americanum - bear's head tooth - produces long, branching tendrils of soft white spines on dead and dying hardwood. A relative of lion's mane, it is prized for both its appearance and its flavor.
HA-103 was isolated from a wild fruiting on hickory in Barbour County, West Virginia. This line is notable for its especially beautiful form, with a slower second flush that rewards patience. A showpiece isolate for growers who value presentation as much as yield.
Available as a 10cc liquid culture or 90x15mm agar plate. Every Redbird line traces to the tree and county it came from.
