Beauveria bassiana Mushroom Plate Culture
Beauveria bassiana Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Beauveria bassiana mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Beauveria bassiana Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Beauveria bassiana mycelium appears initially white on culture media, later producing abundant white conidia that give the colony a dense, powdery appearance. Growth is rapid and radial with a very even surface, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 5-10 days at an optimal temperature of 73–82°F. Important: repeated subculturing can reduce conidial yield and culture vigor over time — minimize total passage number and consider cryopreservation for long-term strain integrity.
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 drying of the conidial surface. Plan to transfer every 3-6 months, keeping total passage number as low as possible to preserve culture virulence.
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.
