Description
Paddy Straw Mushroom Plate Culture
Paddy Straw (Volvariella Volvacea) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Paddy Straw (Volvariella Volvacea) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Paddy Straw Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Paddy Straw (Volvariella volvacea) mycelium appears white on culture media, expanding rapidly in a clean radial pattern on PDA and MEA. Growth is very fast, capable of colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 2 days at an optimal temperature of 86–90°F. This is a tropical species with a critical sensitivity to cold — refrigeration at 39°F will damage and kill the mycelium. To preserve culture vigor, subculture only from the actively growing margin and refresh frequently, as repeated passages on PDA can cause measurable degeneration in growth rate and density.
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.
This species cannot tolerate standard refrigeration. Store fully colonized plates at room temperature, approximately 68–77°F, in darkness, sealed to prevent desiccation. Plan to transfer every few weeks to maintain culture vigor and prevent degeneration.
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.
