Brat Oyster Mushroom Culture

Brat Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Mushroom Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Brat Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Brat Oyster Mushroom Culture Lab Notes

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

Brat Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) mycelium appears bright white on culture media, with a cottony to highly rhizomorphic texture and high density forming thick, opaque mats. Growth is fast and radial, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 4-7 days at an optimal temperature of 72–79°F. Note: as with all P. ostreatus strains, performance is strain-specific — record which media and temperature combinations produce the best linear growth for your Brat isolate.

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 desiccation. Working plates should be refreshed every 2-3 months; slants can go 6-12 months between transfers at refrigeration temperatures.

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 Brat Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Liquid Culture.
