Description
Pink Oyster Mushroom Plate Culture
Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Pink Oyster Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor) mycelium begins white on culture media and transitions to pink as the culture develops, ultimately displaying vivid pink coloration at maturity — the pink pigmentation is present in the mycelium itself, not just the fruiting bodies. Growth is exceptionally aggressive, among the fastest and most vigorous of any oyster species on agar, with dense cottony colonies expanding rapidly at an optimal temperature of 77–82°F. Note: this tropical species is highly sensitive to cold — refrigeration will weaken and can kill the mycelium. Store at room temperature and transfer frequently.
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 tropical species cannot tolerate standard refrigeration temperatures. Store fully colonized plates at room temperature, approximately 64–72°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.
