Brain Puffball Mushroom Plate Culture
Brain Puffball (Calvatia craniiformis) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Brain Puffball (Calvatia craniiformis) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Brain Puffball Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Brain Puffball (Calvatia craniiformis) mycelium appears white on culture media, with a cottony, fluffy texture and moderate to dense growth under favorable conditions. Growth is radial, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 18-239°F. Note: puffball fruiting bodies can carry heavy bacterial loads in wild tissue — when isolating, surface-clean the fruit and sample only the clean interior to reduce contamination risk.
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.
