White Beech Mushroom Plate Culture

White Beech Mushroom (Hypsizygus tessellatus) Mushroom Plate Culture.

Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh White Beech Mushroom (Hypsizygus tessellatus) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.

White Beech Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes

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

White Beech Mushroom (Hypsizygus tessellatus) mycelium appears white on PDA, with growth rate on plates used as a key trait in strain selection and breeding — faster PDA growth correlates with earlier fruiting and better production performance. White strains are known to be more sensitive to cultivation parameters than brown strains, which translates to more variable plate behavior. Different mycelial types within this species complex show distinct hyphal morphology ranging from slim and fragile to stout and robust, and these traits link to culture performance. Consistent medium composition and incubation temperature in the low to mid-70s °F are critical when comparing strains, as PDA growth rate is used as a breeding and selection tool.

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.

Transfer your White Beech mycelium to fresh MEA every 3–6 months to keep your culture healthy and vigorous.

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.
