Description
Chaga Mushroom Culture
Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) Mushroom Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Chaga Mushroom Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom culture:
Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) mycelium appears white to cream on culture media, fine and diffuse at first before becoming denser, with some isolates forming orange-brown to black sclerotial masses or crusty zones on agar over time. Growth is slow to moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 10-20 days at an optimal temperature of 72–79°F. Note: some strains form sclerotia on agar that dramatically change colony texture and color — this is normal. Growth can be irregular and may stall on overly rich media.
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 35–43°F in high humidity inside sealed containers. Plan to transfer every 3-4 months to maintain culture viability.
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.
