Description
Turkey Tail Mushroom Plate Culture
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Turkey Tail Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) mycelium produces very thick, luxuriant mats on culture media — studies report approximately 10.3mm per day on MEA and 8.6mm per day on PDA, making this one of the faster-colonizing polypores in culture. Growth is vigorous across a broad temperature range up to approximately 90°F, and the species tolerates a wide pH range of 6-8 with consistently high mycelial density throughout. MEA and PDA at pH 6-8 are both recommended as reliable base media for mycelial production and experimental work. This species is comparatively forgiving of variation in medium composition and lab conditions relative to more fastidious basidiomycetes.
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. Working plates should be refreshed every 3-6 months; the species' vigorous metabolism means cooler sealed storage is important to slow continued growth on plates.
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.
