Black Termite Mushroom Mushroom Plate Culture

Black Termite Mushroom (Oudemansiella raphanipes) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Black Termite Mushroom (Oudemansiella raphanipes) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Black Termite Mushroom Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Black Termite Mushroom (Oudemansiella raphanipes) mycelium presents bright white on MEA with a dense, slightly cottony texture and confident radial growth at 72-82 F. This is a domesticated commercial species and it behaves like one on the plate: clean margins, steady rhythm, and ready transfer to grain. Remember the mandatory soil-burial step at fruiting; vegetative performance is the easy half of this crop.

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.

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.
