The Local Legend has arrived at the Forge!

Forgers, it’s time to show some love for a hometown powerhouse. We’ve gone out into the elements to bring you the Winter Teacher. This isn’t a standard variety—this is a Wild Specimen sourced right here in Salem, Ohio.

While other genetics are hiding from the frost, this native wood-lover is at its peak. If you want to study raw, rugged vigor from a local survivor, this is the elite addition your library needs.

Why the Winter Teacher is a Must-Have:

Wild Salem, Ohio Genetics: Sourced from the wild right here in Salem. These genetics are “Ohio Strong”—built to thrive in the cold, surviving and fruiting from October through January.

The Blue Root: Famous for its intense, immediate bluing reaction (caeruleorhiza means “blue root”). It provides a stunning visual masterclass for tissue study.

Aggressive Morphology: These plates feature isolated, ropey rhizomorphic sectors. Expect lightning-fast expansion and thick, healthy mycelial mats that only wild-strength genetics can produce.

Rare Specimen: You won’t find this local Salem wild-type just anywhere. This is a rare opportunity to study a true North American native in plate form.
