Conifer Tuft Mushroom Plate Culture

Conifer Tuft (Hypholoma capnoides) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Conifer Tuft (Hypholoma capnoides) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Conifer Tuft Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Conifer Tuft (Hypholoma capnoides) mycelium appears white on culture media, with a cottony to slightly fluffy texture and moderately dense, regular radial growth pattern similar to other Hypholoma species. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 68–77°F. MEA or PDYA provide enough nutrition for robust, even growth and work well for selecting vigorous sectors.

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.

Transfer your Conifer Tuft mycelium to fresh MEA every 1–2 months to keep your culture healthy and vigorous.

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.
