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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMushroom Plate Culture Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMushroom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMushroom Plate Culture Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMushroom Plate Cultures Are Made to Order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"og-internal-links\" style=\"margin-top:16px;padding:16px;background:#f7f4ef;border-top:2px solid #c8d4c4;font-family:'Source Serif 4',Georgia,serif;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:'Libre Baskerville',serif;color:#1a2e1a;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:1.1rem;\"\u003eRelated Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:6px 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/jack-o-lantern-mushroom-omphalotus-olearius\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eJack-o-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) Species Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/how-to-grow-jack-o-lantern-mushroom-omphalotus-olearius\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eJack-o-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) Grow Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jack-o-lantern-mushroom-omphalotus-olearius\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eJack-o-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius) Liquid Culture\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Out-Grow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50046515282113,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/7287\/5201\/files\/Mushroom_Culture_Plate.png?v=1773334304","url":"https:\/\/www.out-grow.com\/products\/jack-o-lantern-mushroom-omphalotus-olearius-mushroom-culture","provider":"Out Grow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
