The “Top-Secret” Tennessee Classic

Discovered near the famous national laboratory in Tennessee, the Oak Ridge strain is a powerhouse of domestic genetics. It has become a favorite at the Fungal Forge because it is incredibly “clean” and predictable. If you are looking for a strain that is as reliable as a lab-standard variety but with a cool, wild history, Oak Ridge is a perfect choice.

What Makes Oak Ridge Special

Incredibly Easy to Study Oak Ridge is often cited as one of the best strains for beginners. It is remarkably “un-fussy” and can thrive in a variety of research environments, making it a stress-free addition to your lab.

Fast and Vigorous This culture doesn’t drag its feet. It is known for its rapid colonization and its ability to produce thick, bright white mycelium very quickly. It’s a great “confidence booster” because it shows clear results almost immediately.

Dense and Beautiful In the lab, Oak Ridge typically produces very dense, medium-sized specimens with rich, caramel-colored caps. It has a very “sturdy” feel to it and produces a heavy amount of spores for your microscopy slides.

Rock-Solid Stability This strain is famous for its consistency. You won’t see a lot of “weird” mutations here—just high-quality, uniform growth every time you put it under the lens.

Add a piece of American mycological history to your library with Oak Ridge—the reliable, high-energy workhorse from Marvelous Mike’s Fungal Forge.
