Description
Chestnut Mushroom Plate Culture
Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Chestnut Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Chestnut Mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) mycelium appears white to faint yellow on culture media, with a dense, cottony texture and thick aerial growth expanding uniformly in a radial pattern. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 10-16 days at an optimal temperature of 73–77°F. Note: mycelium may discolor cream to light yellow with age — this is normal. Transfer frequently from the vigorously expanding edge on well-balanced media such as PDA at pH 6-7 for the most uniform colonies.
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 35–43°F in darkness with minimal gas exchange (taped or parafilmed), inside a clean container with moderate internal humidity. Plan to transfer every 6-10 weeks.
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.
