Description
Saffron Milk Cap Mushroom Plate Culture
Saffron Milk Cap (Lactarius deliciosus) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Saffron Milk Cap (Lactarius deliciosus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Saffron Milk Cap Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Saffron Milk Cap (Lactarius deliciosus) mycelium growth on culture media is sparse and slow, consistent with the mycorrhizal nature of Lactarius species — colonies typically do not achieve full plate coverage, spreading partially across the agar rather than colonizing edge to edge. As with other ectomycorrhizal fungi, pure culture maintenance of this species is considered challenging, and viable plate cultures represent a meaningful result. Incubate at an optimal temperature of approximately 64–72°F.
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.
