Oak Ridge – Spore Syringe

Oak Ridge is a long-standing regional lineage associated with the oak-rich woodlands of eastern Tennessee. Preserved for its reliable, classic macromorphology under magnification, it remains a staple reference in microscopy collections.

• Origin & Background – Community-documented regional entry linked to eastern Tennessee; archived for consistent presentation on slides.

• Macromorphology (Microscopy Focus) – Warm, deep-brown cap surfaces with a traditional “wild-type” look; medium-to-broad gill structures show even spacing and read cleanly under magnification.

• Microscopic Features – Deep purple to near-black spores, typically around ~7 × 12 µm. Field notes indicate visible spore release is common; the syringe format supports reliable slide preparation and observation.

• Preparation & Quality – Prepared in sterile conditions under UPLA filtration and suspended in an aqueous medium for microscopy.

• Research & Collectibility – A dependable regional reference for taxonomy notes, comparative observation, and archival catalogs.

⚠ Spores are intended for microscopy, taxonomy, and novelty purposes only.
