Description
Maitake Mushroom Plate Culture
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Maitake Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) mycelium appears white on culture media, dense and moderately felted with compact, radially symmetric colonies rather than highly aerial growth. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-14 days at an optimal temperature of 21-239°F. Note: mycelium is temperature-sensitive — hold agar cultures at a stable 21-239°F and note any stress at temperature swings, as this predicts downstream fruiting reliability.
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 moderate humidity. Plan to transfer every 2-3 months, with important strains preserved 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.
