Description
Parasol Mushroom Plate Culture
Parasol Mushroom (Amerilepiota procera) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Parasol Mushroom (Amerilepiota procera) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Parasol Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Parasol Mushroom (Amerilepiota procera) mycelium spreads rapidly on culture media but with relatively low density — colonies are fast-expanding and thin rather than thick and fluffy. Growth is fast at an optimal temperature of 86°F on PDA. For best results, use a maltose and glycine enriched medium rather than standard unsupplemented PDA, which has been shown to significantly improve mycelial density and vigor for 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.
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.
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.
