Description
Cauliflower Mushroom Culture
Cauliflower Mushroom (Sparassis crispa) Mushroom Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Cauliflower Mushroom (Sparassis crispa) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Cauliflower Mushroom Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom culture:
Cauliflower Mushroom (Sparassis crispa) mycelium appears white on culture media, relatively thin but even, with a slightly appressed to cottony texture that becomes denser and sometimes slightly crusty in the center on PDA. Growth is slow — expect approximately 3-5 weeks to fully colonize a 100mm plate at an optimal temperature of 68–77°F. Note: growth is strongly reduced outside this temperature range and at suboptimal pH — PDA at approximately pH 6 works well, and plates will need longer incubation than typical gourmet species before judging contamination.
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.
Transfer your Cauliflower mycelium to fresh MEA every 2–3 months to keep your culture healthy and vigorous.
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 Cauliflower Mushroom (Sparassis crispa) Liquid Culture.
