Mechanical strength conferred compared to inoculum forms using fragmented gel. Mycelia cultured within beads . Propagules highly viable and in appropriate physiological state. No growth of mycelium external to the beads. Production of discrete particles of inoculum rather than free mycelium possible.
Discrete particles allow proper dispensing of repeatable doses by inoculation machinery.
Published scientific literature indicates that few if not none have been able to replicate this achievement. Produced via axenic culture. Culture type assured and contaminant-free. Mycelia in hydrogel matrix. Protection of propagules.
