Description
Australian Shiitake Mushroom Plate Culture
Australian Shiitake (Lentinula lateritia) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Australian Shiitake (Lentinula lateritia) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Australian Shiitake Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Australian Shiitake (Lentinula lateritia) mycelium appears white to off-white on culture media, with a cottony to floccose texture that becomes denser with time. Growth is radial with moderate to dense colonization, typically reaching the edge of a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 72–79°F. This species is notably more heat-tolerant than standard Lentinula edodes — incubate at its preferred mid-20s range to select for the vigorous, heat-tolerant growth that defines this strain.
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, sealed to prevent desiccation. Working plates should be refreshed every 3 months; slants can go up to 12 months between transfers at refrigeration temperatures.
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.
