Hed Lom Mushroom Plate Culture

Hed Lom (Lentinus polychrous) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Hed Lom (Lentinus polychrous) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Hed Lom Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:

Hed Lom (Lentinus polychrous) mycelium presents white to cream on MEA with dense, assertive growth at hot incubation, optimal 78-88 F. It colonizes quickly, tolerates handling, and behaves like the regional workhorse it is. Run it warm; cool rooms undersell this species.

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.

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.
