Description
Bulbous Honey Mushroom Plate Culture
Bulbous Honey Mushroom (Armillaria gallica) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Bulbous Honey Mushroom (Armillaria gallica) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Bulbous Honey Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Bulbous Honey Mushroom (Armillaria gallica) mycelium starts white on culture media, becoming cream to rust-brown with age, with a moderately cottony texture and prominent rhizomorphic strands radiating from a dense central mat. Growth is radial and moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-12 days at an optimal temperature of 68–77°F. Note: Armillaria can overgrow agar and become leathery with age — make frequent transfers from the colony edge and consider lower-nutrient media to maintain vigorous working cultures. Some isolates may exhibit faint bioluminescence in the dark.
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 36–46°F in darkness, wrapped or parafilmed to prevent desiccation. Plan to transfer every 2 months to avoid senescence and excessive matting.
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.
