Description

Fragrant Chanterelle Mushroom Plate Culture

Fragrant Chanterelle (Craterellus odoratus) Mushroom Plate Culture.

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

Fragrant Chanterelle Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Fragrant Chanterelle (Craterellus odoratus) mycelium presents pale cream with a waxy sheen on MEA, advancing slowly at 70-80 F as ectomycorrhizal taxa do. Weeks-scale progress is normal and not a viability concern. Plates serve maintenance and host inoculation research, not substrate fruiting. Transfer young margins early and hold backups without exception.

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.

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.
