Apricot Chanterelle Mushroom Plate Culture

Apricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Apricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Apricot Chanterelle Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Apricot Chanterelle (Cantharellus cuticulatus) mycelium presents pale cream to whitish on MEA with a fluffy to faintly rhizomorphic texture. Radial growth is slow and steady at an optimal temperature of 68-77 F, with colonization times well beyond those of saprotrophic species. This is an obligate ectomycorrhizal chanterelle: plates are intended for culture maintenance, biomass expansion, and host inoculation research, not substrate fruiting. Transfer from young, actively advancing margins and keep contamination discipline tight throughout.

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.
