Description
Lions Mane Warm Weather Mushroom Plate Culture
Lions Mane Warm Weather (Hericium erinaceus) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Lions Mane Warm Weather (Hericium erinaceus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Lions Mane Warm Weather Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Lion's Mane Warm Weather (Hericium erinaceus) mycelium appears white on culture media, dense and cottony with radial growth morphologically similar to standard Hericium erinaceus, but selected for robust performance at higher temperatures. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-10 days at an optimal temperature of 77–81°F. Note: this warm-adapted strain may show reduced growth at cooler temperatures where standard strains excel — always incubate at upper 70s–low 80s °F to maintain its aggressive warm-weather growth character.
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. Plan to transfer every 2-3 months, with master cultures maintained on slants.
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.
