Sajor-Caju Mushroom Culture

Sajor-Caju Mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju) Mushroom Culture.

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

Sajor-Caju Mushroom Culture Lab Notes

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

Sajor-Caju (Pleurotus sajor-caju) mycelium appears white on culture media, dense and cottony with aerial growth typical of Pleurotus species, though texture and density can vary between strains. Growth is fast at an optimal temperature of approximately 75–79°F and pH 5.0-6.5. Note: mycelium becomes morphologically abnormal outside this pH range — growth slows below pH 5 and stops below pH 4, while above the optimal range abnormal mycelial structures can develop.

Mushroom Culture Use

Mushroom 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 Culture Storage

Your mushroom 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 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 6-12 months to maintain culture vigor.

Mushroom 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 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 culture to fully colonize upon arrival, as colonization time varies by species.

Also available as a Sajor-Caju Mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju) Liquid Culture.
