Description
Yellow Morel Mushroom Plate Culture
Yellow Morel (Morchella esculenta) Mushroom Plate Culture.
Each culture plate is a 100x15mm petri dish inoculated with fresh Yellow Morel (Morchella esculenta) mycelium growing on malt extract agar (MEA), and will arrive actively colonizing.
Yellow Morel Mushroom Plate Culture Lab Notes
At Out-Grow's mycology lab, we have observed the following traits of this mushroom plate culture:
Yellow Morel (Morchella esculenta) mycelium forms abundant, moderately thick growth on soil-based and low-nutrient agar media, developing rhizomorphic mycelial structures and compact masses of prosenchyma and pseudoparenchyma tissue — traits that distinguish it from the simple hyphal mats seen in many saprotrophic species. Some pigmented mycelium has also been observed on certain media. Simple rich media like PDA alone may be suboptimal; soil and soil-extract agars with carefully controlled cool temperatures work well for successful early mycelial development. Growth can be slow and variable, with activity observed even at temperatures as low as 36°F following ascospore germination.
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 Yellow Morel mycelium to fresh MEA every 3–4 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.
