Pleurotus geesteranus Mushroom Plate Culture

Pleurotus geesteranus Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Pleurotus geesteranus mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Pleurotus geesteranus Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:

Pleurotus geesteranus mycelium appears white on culture media, similar in color and growth pattern to other oyster mushroom species but with moderately thinner mycelium than typical commercial Pleurotus strains. Growth is fast at an optimal temperature of approximately 75–82°F, with rhizomorphic radial expansion characteristic of the Pleurotus 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.
