Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Plate Culture
Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Cordyceps Militaris mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Cordyceps Militaris Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Cordyceps Militaris mycelium appears white to cream on culture media, becoming dense, cottony, and moderately aerial with uniform radial growth, sometimes showing slight yellowish or orange pigmentation in older regions. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 64–72°F. Note: colony morphology is strongly influenced by media and light — use brown rice yeast agar or potato-dextrose-yeast variants, and incubate in dim light or darkness for mycelial phases.
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, sealed with moderate humidity and minimal gas exchange. Plan to transfer every 1-3 months, using edge mycelium for new master plates.
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.
