Red Chanterelles Mushroom Plate Culture

Red Chanterelles (Cantharellus cinnabarinus) Mushroom Plate Culture.

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

Red Chanterelles Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Red Chanterelle (Cantharellus cinnabarinus) mycelium appears off-white to yellowish on culture media, growing in a very even, uniform pattern across the plate — notably consistent in its spread compared to many other species. Growth is slow, reflecting the mycorrhizal nature of chanterelle species in the wild. Pure culture maintenance of chanterelles is considered challenging in mycology, making viable plate cultures of this species relatively rare and of significant interest to researchers and cultivators.

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, as chanterelle cultures can decline without regular subculturing.

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.
