Description
Judas Ear Mushroom Plate Culture
Judas Ear (Auricularia Auricula-Judae) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Judas Ear (Auricularia Auricula-Judae) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Judas Ear Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Judas Ear (Auricularia auricula-judae) mycelium appears white on culture media, with a moderately to highly dense, filamentous texture that may show a slightly gelatinous character typical of wood ear fungi. Growth is moderate to fast, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 5-10 days at an optimal temperature of 72–79°F on rich media such as malt-yeast-peptone agar. Important: this species is cold-sensitive and should not be stored below 50°F — cold shocks during handling can damage cultures.
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 50–59°F (not below 50°F) in darkness, sealed with good internal humidity. Expect a shorter shelf life of approximately 1-2 months before transfer is needed.
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.
