Gold Enoki Mushroom Plate Culture

Gold Enoki (Flammulina velutipes) Mushroom Plate Culture.

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

Gold Enoki Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Gold Enoki (Flammulina velutipes) mycelium appears white on culture media, dense and cottony on malt extract agar with even radial growth. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-10 days at an optimal temperature of 68–77°F. Malt extract agar at near-neutral to slightly alkaline pH (7.5-8.0) produces the fastest radial growth and densest colonies — growth slows significantly below 68°F.

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. Plan to transfer every 2-3 months, with master stocks maintained on slants.

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.
