Lentinula aciculospora Mushroom Plate Culture
Lentinula aciculospora Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Lentinula aciculospora mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Lentinula aciculospora Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Lentinula aciculospora mycelium appears white on culture media, relatively thin with slow radial expansion — the slowest-growing among tested Lentinula species. Growth typically requires 3-6 weeks to colonize a 100mm plate at an optimal temperature of 59–68°F. Note: this is a psychrotolerant species that grows best at relatively cool temperatures — incubate at approximately 59°F rather than a standard 77°F incubator, and allow extended observation time before drawing conclusions about culture health.
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 its inherently slow growth, transfers can be spaced 3-6 months apart — limit total subculture number to reduce 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.
