Rhizopus oligosporus Mushroom Plate Culture
Rhizopus oligosporus Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Rhizopus oligosporus mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Rhizopus oligosporus Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Rhizopus oligosporus mycelium appears white and rapidly expanding on culture media, cottony to wool-like, quickly filling the plate before transitioning to pale yellowish to greyish-brown as sporulation begins. Growth is extremely fast, capable of colonizing a 100mm plate in approximately 1-2 days at an optimal temperature of 86–90°F. Note: heavy sporulation produces airborne spores that increase contamination risk — inspect cultures early and subculture before sporulation develops to keep inoculum clean.
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 2-3 months, using cultures within this window to avoid degeneration and spore buildup.
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.
