Description
Salt Loving Mushroom Plate Culture
Salt Loving Mushroom (Agaricus bernardii) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Salt Loving Mushroom (Agaricus bernardii) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Salt Loving Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Salt Loving Mushroom (Agaricus bernardii) mycelium appears tan on culture media, growing very slowly and typically not achieving full colonization of the plate — partial coverage is normal for this species rather than a sign of poor culture health. Growth rate is notably slower than most other Agaricus species, reflecting its specialized ecology as a salt-adapted mushroom. Incubate at an optimal temperature of approximately 72–79°F on standard PDA or MEA.
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 6-12 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.
