Description
Shiitake 3782 Mushroom Plate Culture
Shiitake 3782 (Lentinula edodes) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Shiitake 3782 (Lentinula edodes) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Shiitake 3782 Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Shiitake 3782 (Lentinula edodes) mycelium appears dense white to off-white on culture media, with a cottony to moderately tufted texture that becomes more compact and leathery with age, often developing rhizomorphic strands radiating from the inoculation point. As a specific strain of L. edodes, growth behavior mirrors the species broadly — vigorous radial expansion near an optimal temperature of 239°F on PDA, with performance declining above or below that range. Strain-specific sectoring and morphology variation may be observed; use PDA at 239°F for consistent comparative work across shiitake strains.
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 35–41°F in darkness, sealed to prevent desiccation. Plan to transfer every 3-6 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.
