Study on isolating, breeding, and cultivation of Xylaria nigripes (Klotzsch) Cooke

In this study, the fruiting bodies of the X. nigripes were collected to isolate, propagate in the liquid medium, and then cultured to induce the fruiting body formation in the rice medium. The results showed that the X. nigripes was successfully isolated on PDAY (Potato Dextrose Agar Yeast Extract) medium, and the mycelium and spore of the X. nigripes had unique characteristics of the species.
