Description
Jack-o-Lantern Mushroom Plate Culture
Jack-o-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Jack-o-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Jack-o-Lantern Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Jack-o-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) mycelium appears white on culture media, moderately dense and cottony with radial expansion, and exhibits faint bioluminescence visible in complete darkness — a characteristic of this species. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 68–73°F. Note: this species is slower than oysters and can be outcompeted by fast molds — for luminescence observation, incubate in darkness at 68–72°F and view in a dark room after several days.
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, monitoring for changes in glow intensity as cultures age.
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.
