Morchella americana Mushroom Plate Culture
Morchella americana Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Morchella americana mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Morchella americana Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Morchella americana mycelium appears very light tan to near-white on culture media, with a tomentose to floccose texture — fine, upright hyphae giving the colony a fur-like appearance with individually visible hyphal strands. Growth pattern is typically more sporadic and uneven than other Morchella species, with colonies spreading in a less uniform radial pattern. Given adequate time the culture will fill a plate edge to edge. As the culture matures, older regions may darken slightly and develop small sclerotia on the agar surface. Incubate at an optimal temperature of 64–72°F.
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
Wrap your mushroom culture plate in parafilm before storing. Store fully colonized plates at 35–43°F in darkness, sealed to prevent desiccation. Plan to transfer every 1-2 months to maintain culture vigor.
Store fully colonized plates at 35–43°F in darkness, sealed. Plan to transfer every 1-2 months, keeping sclerotia-forming cultures as key masters.
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.
