Blowing Deceiver Mushroom Plate Culture

Blowing Deceiver (Laccaria CF Prava) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Blowing Deceiver (Laccaria CF Prava) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Blowing Deceiver Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Blowing Deceiver (Laccaria cf. prava) mycelium appears white to off-white on culture media, with a thin, cottony to slightly floccose texture and low to moderate density. Growth is slow, typical of ectomycorrhizal species, with colonies forming relatively small, even radial mats — expect approximately 14-28 days to colonize a 100mm plate at an optimal temperature of 59–72°F. Note: as a mycorrhizal species, keep passage number low to avoid adaptation to agar-only conditions; agar cultures are best paired with host-seedling systems for meaningful results.

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 3-6 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.
