Description
Golden Chanterelle Mushroom Plate Culture
Golden Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Golden Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Golden Chanterelle Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Golden Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) mycelium appears as thin, sparse hyphal mats on specialized ectomycorrhizal culture media, with very slow radial extension of approximately 0.4mm per day. Growth is very slow — expect 3-4 weeks or more to colonize a 100mm plate at an optimal temperature of approximately 68°F. Note: this species is highly sensitive to media composition — use specialized ectomycorrhizal media such as F-agar, avoid unnecessary additives, and monitor hyphal extension carefully rather than relying on full plate colonization as a success metric.
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 stable humidity. Given the inherently slow growth, transfers can be spaced 3-6 months apart — avoid excessive subculturing to limit senescence.
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.
