Agaricus
Agaricus (Product Code: SCL462/0184) is a specimen of Agaricus, the genus of gilled mushrooms that includes the cultivated button mushroom, presented in a glass specimen jar and used to teach the fungal fruiting body in biology and botany laboratories. Students can examine a real mushroom and connect its visible parts to the spore-producing structures they learn about in class. The specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools and colleges building a lab specimen collection.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (fungus) |
| Specimen | Agaricus, a gilled mushroom (basidiomycete) |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Laboratory study and display of a fungal fruiting body |
| Suitable for | Fungi and classification lessons in schools and colleges |
| Product code | SCL462/0184 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Agaricus Specimen Used For?
It is used to show that the visible mushroom is only the reproductive part of the fungus — the fruiting body, or basidiocarp — while most of the organism lives as a network of hyphae in soil or compost. Using the jar, students identify the cap (pileus), the stalk (stipe), the ring (annulus) where present, and the gills (lamellae) on the underside of the cap. The gills carry the basidia that produce basidiospores, which is why Agaricus is the standard textbook example of the club fungi.
A productive practical pairs the jar with Rhizopus and Yeast slides, so the class meets a mould, a single-celled fungus and a mushroom in one session and can discuss what unites them as fungi. The specimen is also a good starting point for talking about edible and poisonous mushrooms, with the clear message that wild mushrooms should never be eaten without expert identification. Stored upright and out of strong light, the jar remains a convenient reference item for the fungal kingdom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of the mushroom can students see in the Agaricus jar?
Students can usually see the cap, stalk and gills of the Agaricus specimen, plus the ring where one is present. The exact view depends on the individual specimen and how it sits in the jar, so turning the jar slowly helps everyone find each part.
Is the Agaricus specimen the same product as Fungi (Agaricus)?
No. The Agaricus specimen (SCL462/0184) is a real mushroom in a glass specimen jar, while Fungi (Agaricus) is a separate wall chart in our Biology Lab range. Many teachers order both so students can label the chart from the specimen.
Are the jar size and preserving method of the Agaricus specimen specified?
Neither the jar size nor the preserving method of the Agaricus specimen is stated in our listing. If you have storage-space or safety requirements, confirm them with us before ordering and we will check the batch you are quoted.
Can spores be seen through the Agaricus jar?
No. Spores are microscopic, so they cannot be seen on the Agaricus specimen through the glass. For a spore activity, place the cap of a fresh shop-bought mushroom gill-side down on paper overnight to make a spore print.
Who supplies the Agaricus specimen?
The Agaricus specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the jar specimen for schools, colleges, institutions and dealers, and can quote it with fungus slides and charts on one quotation.

Marchantia
Marchantia (Product Code: SCL463/0185) is a botanical specimen of the liverwort Marchantia in a glass specimen jar, used to show a thalloid bryophyte in school and college botany practicals. Teachers use it to give students a real example of a small, flat, ribbon-like plant body with no true roots, stems or leaves, instead of relying only on textbook drawings. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of the plant biology lab equipment it offers institutions.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (plant) |
| Specimen | Marchantia, a thalloid liverwort (bryophyte) |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Laboratory observation of the liverwort plant body |
| Suitable for | Botany practicals, plant-kingdom lessons and specimen display shelves |
| Product code | SCL463/0185 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Marchantia Specimen Used For?
Marchantia is one of the standard examples used to introduce bryophytes. Looking through the jar wall, students study the flattened, forked (dichotomously branched) thallus and discuss how such plants take in water over their whole surface and anchor themselves with fine rhizoids rather than roots. Depending on the material in an individual jar, a teacher may also be able to point out gemma cups or the stalked, umbrella-like structures that carry the sex organs; our product details do not specify which of these are present.
In a practical session the jar works well at a specimen station where groups rotate, note what they see and draw a labelled sketch of the thallus. Pairing it with a moss chart lets the class compare liverworts and mosses, the two bryophyte groups most syllabi cover. To keep the specimen in good condition, keep the lid closed, store the jar upright away from direct sunlight and carry it with both hands.
Supplier
The Marchantia specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, India, and provides laboratory equipment and teaching material to educational institutions and dealers. Specimens like this one are sourced by the company and quoted alongside its charts and slides. Our company profile gives more background on the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is inside the Marchantia jar?
The jar holds a Marchantia specimen in a glass specimen jar. Our product details do not list which structures, such as gemma cups or reproductive stalks, are present, so please contact us if your Marchantia practical needs a particular stage.
What size is the Marchantia jar, and what preserving fluid is used?
Neither the jar size nor the preserving fluid of the Marchantia specimen is stated in our current product information. Ask for both when you request a quotation and we will confirm them for the batch you order.
Is Marchantia a moss?
No. Marchantia is a liverwort. Liverworts and mosses are both bryophytes, but Marchantia has a flat thallus while mosses such as Funaria have upright, leafy shoots — a contrast that often appears in exams and is easy to show with this specimen and a moss chart.
How should the Marchantia specimen be stored between terms?
Keep the Marchantia jar sealed and upright in a closed cupboard, out of direct sunlight and away from shelves where it could be knocked. The specimen is meant to be studied through the glass, so there is no need to open it.
Who supplies the Marchantia specimen?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Marchantia specimen. The company sources it for schools, colleges and dealers, and handles quotations for India and international markets, including suitable packing for glass jars.

Pine Cone (Male)
Pine Cone (Male) (Product Code: SCL464/0186) is a specimen of the male, pollen-bearing cone of pine in a glass specimen jar, used to teach gymnosperm reproduction in school and college botany laboratories. It gives classes a real conifer structure to examine when they learn how pines produce pollen without forming flowers, and it pairs directly with the female cone. The specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions working on a biology lab setup.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (plant reproductive structure) |
| Specimen | Male (pollen) cone of pine, a gymnosperm |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Laboratory study of pollen production in gymnosperms |
| Suitable for | Botany practicals, plant-kingdom lessons and comparison with the female cone |
| Product code | SCL464/0186 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Male Pine Cone Specimen Used For?
It is used to show that male pine cones are small and soft compared with the woody seed cones most people picture. In class, students look at how the cone is built from many small scales (microsporophylls) arranged spirally around a central axis, while the teacher explains that these scales carry pollen sacs whose pollen is carried away by the wind. Because the cone stays in its jar, the activity is purely observational, which makes it well suited to drawing and labelling work.
The specimen is most useful next to a female cone, so students can see for themselves that pine carries separate male and female cones on the same tree and link each one to the gymnosperm life cycle. For revision, ask students to explain why a pine tree produces pollen in such large amounts and to relate that to wind pollination. Clean the outside of the jar with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it upright and away from heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the male pine cone the same as the familiar woody pine cone?
No. The familiar woody cone is the female, seed-bearing cone. The Pine Cone (Male) specimen is the smaller, softer structure that produces pollen, which is why schools usually study it together with the female cone to cover both sides of pine reproduction.
How many cones are in one Pine Cone (Male) jar?
Our product details describe the Pine Cone (Male) specimen as a male pine cone in a glass specimen jar, without stating a count or size. Contact us and we will confirm what the current supply contains before you order.
Can students handle the Pine Cone (Male) specimen?
The Pine Cone (Male) specimen is intended for viewing through the glass, so the jar should stay closed. A hand lens gives students a closer view of the spirally arranged scales without opening the jar or disturbing the specimen.
Which topics does the Pine Cone (Male) specimen support?
The Pine Cone (Male) specimen supports lessons on gymnosperm reproduction, the difference between male and female cones, wind pollination and the pine life cycle in plant-kingdom chapters, from secondary school to introductory college botany.

Pine Cone (Female)
Pine Cone (Female) (Product Code: SCL465/0187) is a specimen of the female, seed-bearing cone of pine in a glass specimen jar, used to explain naked seeds and gymnosperm structure in botany laboratories. The woody seed cone is the gymnosperm structure students recognise most easily, and the jar lets a class study how these plants carry seeds exposed on cone scales rather than inside a fruit. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its biology lab equipment for schools and colleges.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (plant reproductive structure) |
| Specimen | Female (seed-bearing) cone of pine, a gymnosperm |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Laboratory study of cone structure and naked seeds |
| Suitable for | Gymnosperm lessons, specimen displays and comparison with the male cone |
| Product code | SCL465/0187 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Female Pine Cone Specimen Used For?
The female cone illustrates the meaning of the word gymnosperm, “naked seed”. Students observe the tough, overlapping scales arranged around the cone axis while the teacher explains that ovules develop on the upper surface of these scales instead of being enclosed in an ovary, as they are in flowering plants. It is also a good starting point for discussing how the scales open when the cone matures, allowing winged seeds to be carried away by the wind.
For comparison exercises, set the jar beside the male cone and a fern specimen: students can then trace the step from spore-bearing plants to seed plants within a single practical period. Many schools keep the pair of cones on a plant-diversity display as part of their biology teaching aids. Carry the jar with both hands, keep the lid sealed and store it upright in a shaded cupboard.
Supplier
The female cone specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. It sources plant specimens for botany departments and dealers, and quotes them together with charts and slides for delivery in India or international markets.

Lichen (Foliose)
Lichen (Foliose) (Product Code: SCL467/0188) is a specimen of a foliose, or leaf-like, lichen in a glass specimen jar, used to teach lichen growth forms and symbiosis in biology laboratories. Foliose lichens grow as flat, lobed sheets loosely attached to bark or rock, and the jar helps students see this form while learning that a lichen is a partnership between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (lichen) |
| Growth form | Foliose — flattened, leaf-like lobes |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Laboratory study of lichen form and symbiosis |
| Suitable for | Lessons on fungi, symbiosis and lichen growth forms |
| Product code | SCL467/0188 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Foliose Lichen Specimen Used For?
Lichens are usually taught through three growth forms, and the foliose type sits between the crust-like crustose lichens and the shrubby fruticose lichens. With this jar, students compare the upper and lower surfaces of the lobes and discuss how the lichen body (thallus) is built from fungal threads that shelter photosynthetic algal cells. Teachers also use lichens to introduce bioindicators, because many species are sensitive to air pollution.
A practical approach is to line up the foliose, fruticose and crustose specimens and ask students to rank them by how firmly each is attached to its surface. Adding a slide of a green alga such as Spirogyra helps them picture the photosynthetic partner. Keep the jar with the rest of your plant biology lab equipment on a stable shelf, with the lid closed and out of sunlight.
Supplier
The foliose lichen specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, India. It sources lichen and plant specimens for schools, colleges and dealers, and can quote all three lichen growth forms together for delivery in India or international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a lichen foliose?
A lichen is foliose when its thallus forms flat, leaf-like lobes with distinct upper and lower surfaces, loosely attached to its base. The Lichen (Foliose) specimen shows this form; crustose lichens are pressed flat onto the surface, while fruticose lichens are branched and shrubby.
Which lichen species is in the Lichen (Foliose) jar?
Our product details describe the Lichen (Foliose) specimen by growth form only and do not name a species. Contact us if you need the species confirmed for your syllabus, and we will check the batch you are quoted.
Are the jar size and preservation method of the Lichen (Foliose) specimen stated?
Not in our current documentation. Ask for the jar size and preservation method of the Lichen (Foliose) specimen with your quotation request, especially if your storage space or safety rules need them in advance.
Should I buy all three lichen types with the Lichen (Foliose) specimen?
Buying the Lichen (Foliose) specimen with the fruticose and crustose jars lets students compare the growth forms directly, which is how the topic is usually examined. Each type has its own product code, so you can also order just one.
Who supplies the Lichen (Foliose) specimen?
The Lichen (Foliose) specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources it for schools, colleges and dealers, and quotes it with the code SCL467/0188 for delivery in India or international markets.
How do I look after the Lichen (Foliose) specimen?
Keep the Lichen (Foliose) jar closed and upright on a stable shelf, and avoid direct sunlight, which can fade biological material over time. The specimen is meant to be viewed through the glass, so there is no need to open the jar.

Lichen (Fruticose)
Lichen (Fruticose) (Product Code: SCL469/0189) is a specimen of a fruticose lichen — the shrubby, branched growth form — in a glass specimen jar, used to teach lichen types, symbiosis and air-quality indicators in biology and ecology lessons. It gives students a three-dimensional example of a lichen that stands upright or hangs from its surface instead of lying flat against it. The specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for high school and college biology lab equipment lists.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (lichen) |
| Growth form | Fruticose — shrubby, branched or hanging strands |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Showing the most upright of the lichen growth forms |
| Suitable for | Classification, symbiosis and environmental biology lessons |
| Product code | SCL469/0189 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Fruticose Lichen Specimen Used For?
It is used to show the growth form that is easiest to tell apart from the others: fruticose lichens are attached at a small base and grow outward as branched strands. In class, the specimen helps explain how the fungal partner provides structure and holds moisture while the algal or cyanobacterial partner produces food by photosynthesis. Because shrubby lichens are generally among the first to disappear where air is polluted, the jar also opens a discussion on lichens as indicators of air quality.
Ask students to sketch the branching pattern and compare it with a foliose lichen, noting the difference in how each is attached. A mushroom specimen is a useful reminder of what a fungus looks like when it lives on its own, and a cyanobacterium slide shows one kind of photosynthetic partner. Wipe the jar with a dry cloth only, and keep the lid tightly closed on the botany shelf of a combined biology room.
Supplier
This fruticose lichen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab and based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources ecology and plant-diversity specimens for schools, colleges and dealers, and handles quotations for India and international markets from one office. More about the company is available on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a fruticose lichen different from the other types?
A fruticose lichen grows as upright or hanging branched strands attached at one point, as the Lichen (Fruticose) specimen shows. Foliose lichens instead form flat, leaf-like lobes, and crustose lichens form a thin crust pressed onto their surface.
Is Fructicose the same as Fruticose?
Yes. Fruticose is the correct botanical term for shrubby lichens. The Lichen (Fruticose) specimen was earlier listed as “Lichen (Fructicose)”, a spelling that still appears in its web address; the product and its code SCL469/0189 are unchanged.
Is the species of the Lichen (Fruticose) specimen named?
Our product details identify the Lichen (Fruticose) specimen by its growth form, not by species. Please contact us if your syllabus requires a named species, and we will check the batch you are quoted.
Can the Lichen (Fruticose) specimen be removed for microscope work?
The Lichen (Fruticose) specimen is supplied in a glass specimen jar for viewing through the glass. For microscope work on the partners, prepared slides of algae and cyanobacteria are a better choice than opening the jar.
What details of the Lichen (Fruticose) specimen are not in the listing?
Jar size, preservation method and specimen size are not stated for the Lichen (Fruticose) specimen. We can confirm these when you ask for a quotation, so you can plan shelf space and storage before the order is placed.

Lichen (Crustose)
Lichen (Crustose) (Product Code: SCL470/0190) is a specimen of a crustose lichen in a glass specimen jar, used to teach the crust-forming lichen type, pioneer species and symbiosis in school and college biology laboratories. Crustose lichens grow as a thin crust pressed tightly onto rock, bark or soil, and the jar shows students the growth form that is easiest to overlook outdoors. The specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions looking for a specimen jar for biology teaching.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Biological specimen (lichen) |
| Growth form | Crustose — thin crust bonded to its surface |
| Supplied in | Glass specimen jar |
| Purpose | Showing the most tightly attached lichen growth form |
| Suitable for | Symbiosis, ecology and plant-diversity lessons |
| Shelf life | No fixed period stated; condition depends on how the specimen is preserved and stored — ask us about the batch you are quoted |
| Product code | SCL470/0190 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
What Is the Crustose Lichen Specimen Used For?
It is used to teach the key feature of crustose lichens: they cannot be lifted from their base without damage. Viewing the jar, students study the patchy, often colourful surface and talk about how such lichens slowly weather rock and help start soil formation — the classic example of a pioneer organism in ecological succession.
Teachers often close a lichen lesson by arranging the crustose, foliose and fruticose specimens in order of attachment, from tightest to loosest. A hand lens makes the fine surface texture easier to see, and the jar gives students a reference before they survey walls and tree trunks around the school, where a quadrat helps them estimate lichen cover. It earns its place among the botany lab equipment used for ecology field work. Store the jar upright and sealed, away from heat.

Animal Cell & Plant Cell
Animal Cell & Plant Cell (Product Code: SCL471/0191) is a laminated biology wall chart used to compare the structure of animal and plant cells in school classrooms and laboratories. It supports one of the first topics in school biology — the shared nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane, and the cell wall, chloroplasts and large vacuole found only in plant cells — on a 75x100 cm polyart sheet. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Animal Cell & Plant Cell Chart Used For?
Teachers typically put the chart up while introducing cell organelles, then return to it during the microscope practical in which students prepare an onion peel mount and a cheek cell mount. Because both cell types are covered on one sheet, students can build their comparison table in the same lesson, checking each organelle and deciding whether it belongs to one cell type or both.
Pairing the chart with a three-dimensional animal cell model or plant cell model helps students who find flat diagrams hard to picture. The laminated polyart surface can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and rolling the chart loosely rather than folding it keeps it flat for display. It is often the first sheet in a school biology chart set.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Animal Cell & Plant Cell chart. Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, produces its charts, models and laboratory apparatus at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, instead of sourcing them from a trader. Schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers are supplied factory-direct, and repeat orders for further classroom copies are handled by the manufacturer itself — just ask us.
