Description
Pearl Oyster Mushroom Culture
Pearl Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Mushroom Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Pearl Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Pearl Oyster Mushroom Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom culture:
Pearl Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) mycelium appears white on culture media, forming thick, dense colonies with a cottony to rhizomorphic texture and vigorous radial expansion. Growth is very fast, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 2-3 days at an optimal temperature of 77–86°F on PDA. PDA produces significantly denser and faster growth than many other media — more than double the radial expansion compared to Sabouraud dextrose agar over the same period.
Mushroom Culture Use
Mushroom 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 Culture Storage
Your mushroom 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 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 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 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 culture to fully colonize upon arrival, as colonization time varies by species.
Also available as a Pearl Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Liquid Culture.
