Apricot Jelly Mushroom Plate Culture

Apricot Jelly Mushroom (Guepinia helvelloides) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Apricot Jelly Mushroom (Guepinia helvelloides) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Apricot Jelly Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:

Apricot Jelly Mushroom (Guepinia helvelloides) mycelium appears white to off-white on culture media, forming a fine, thin, low-profile mat with wispy hyphae spreading radially from the inoculation point. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 10-20 days at an optimal temperature of 54–68°F. Note: the delicate, low-density mycelium of this species can be difficult to see clearly — careful plate inspection and good sealing to prevent drying are essential.

Mushroom Plate Culture Use

Mushroom plate cultures, typically on MEA culture plates, are used to grow and preserve mycelium. In most cases, sterile transfers of agar wedges from this plate are used to inoculate fresh culture media or sterilized grain spawn.

Mushroom Plate Culture Storage

Your mushroom plate culture can be wrapped in parafilm and stored at normal room temps, in a sealed baggie, for up to 6 months. Out-Grow recommends you replate your mushroom plate culture every 6 months to ensure longevity of your purchase.

Store fully colonized plates at 35–41°F in darkness, well sealed to prevent desiccation. Plan to transfer cultures every 3-6 months. When transferring, use small wedges with minimal handling to avoid tearing the delicate mycelium.

Mushroom Plate Cultures Are Made to Order

All mushroom culture plates are made to order. Once your order is received, Out-Grow will inoculate your plate within 1-3 days. Your mushroom plate culture will then be incubated in our mycology lab for approximately 7-14 days, or until clean healthy mycelium has been verified by our mycologist. Once verified, your order will be shipped promptly. Please allow an additional week for your mushroom plate culture to fully colonize upon arrival, as colonization time varies by species.
