Small Termite Mushroom Mushroom Plate Culture

Small Termite Mushroom (Termitomyces microcarpus) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Small Termite Mushroom (Termitomyces microcarpus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

Small Termite Mushroom Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

Small Termite Mushroom (Termitomyces microcarpus) mycelium presents white to cream on MEA with dense, measured growth at warm incubation, optimal 78-86 F, echoing the stable warmth of the termite comb it evolved in. Plates maintain and expand normally; fruiting remains unachieved for the genus in any artificial system. Preservation-grade material from a remarkable symbiosis.

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.

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.
