Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Culture

Cordyceps Militaris (Albino) Mushroom Culture.

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

Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Culture Lab Notes

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

Cordyceps Militaris (Albino) mycelium appears white on culture media, dense and cottony with uniform radial growth similar to standard Cordyceps militaris — the albino trait affects fruiting body coloration rather than mycelial appearance. Growth typically colonizes a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 64–72°F. Note: albino lines can be more sensitive to stress and genetic drift — maintain multiple backup cultures, as this trait may revert or weaken with poor maintenance.

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 darkness, sealed, with planned transfers every 1-2 months for working plates. Long-term stocks should be maintained on slants or in cryostorage where possible to preserve the albino line.

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 Cordyceps Militaris (Albino) Liquid Culture.
