Beauveria bassiana Mushroom Culture

Beauveria bassiana Mushroom 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 Culture Lab Notes

At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom 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 Culture Use

Mushroom 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 Culture Storage

Your mushroom 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 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 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 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 culture to fully colonize upon arrival, as colonization time varies by species.

Also available as a Beauveria bassiana Liquid Culture.
