Description
Snow fungus Mushroom Plate Culture
Snow fungus (Tremella fuciformis) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Snow fungus (Tremella fuciformis) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Snow fungus Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Snow Fungus (Tremella fuciformis) mycelium in submerged culture forms pellets that evolve distinctly over time — beginning as a translucent suspension before developing pale yellow pigmentation, then progressing to brown and eventually dark media as nutrients deplete and stationary phase begins. This strong chromatic evolution is a notable and characteristic trait of this species in culture. Detailed colony morphology on solid agar is less documented; careful monitoring of culture age is important to ensure transfers occur during the active growth phase rather than after media has darkened and metabolic activity has slowed.
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. Given this species' marked metabolic impact on media over time, more frequent subculturing than typical species is advisable — plan to transfer every 6-8 weeks to maintain culture quality.
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.
