Dead Man's Foot Mushroom Culture
Dead Man's Foot (Pisolithus arhizus) Mushroom Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Dead Man's Foot (Pisolithus arhizus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Dead Man's Foot Mushroom Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom culture:
Dead Man's Foot (Pisolithus arhizus) mycelium appears white on culture media, moderately dense and moderately woolly to felted with irregular margins typical of ectomycorrhizal species. Growth is slow, typically requiring 2-4 weeks to colonize a 100mm plate at an optimal temperature of 72–77°F. Note: this species is easily overgrown by fast molds on rich agar — use moderately rich mycorrhiza-oriented media such as HAGEM-type agar and maintain strict sterile technique.
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 to prevent desiccation. Plan to transfer every 2-3 months and keep backup cultures on slants due to its slow growth rate.
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 Dead Man's Foot (Pisolithus arhizus) Liquid Culture.
