Description
Pearl Sawgill Mushroom Plate Culture
Pearl Sawgill (Lentinus concavus) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Pearl Sawgill (Lentinus concavus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Pearl Sawgill Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Pearl Sawgill (Lentinus concavus) mycelium appears pure white on culture media, beginning as smooth and prostrate before developing into a distinctly structured colony with thick, rope-like rhizomorphs radiating outward from a dense center — a hallmark trait of the Lentinus genus. The dense white interior fills in quickly while the colony edges extend via well-defined radial strands that are slightly raised above the agar surface. Growth is moderate, typically colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 7-12 days at an optimal temperature of 22-239°F. Aging plates may develop small clear droplets or light amber metabolites, which is normal for wood-decomposing basidiomycetes of this genus.
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.
