Plate cultures are ideal for growers looking to make master bags, inoculate grain, make liquid culture, or make more plates.
Our beech plates are made to order in our in-house lab using medical-grade petri dishes. If properly stored upon arrival, they have a shelf life of approximately 6 months. Beech plates should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain viability. Note that mycelium cultures require basic lab skills. Handle using sterile technique to prevent contamination.

-
Hypsizygus tessellatus. Our favorite brown beech mushroom strain. Great for commercial production. These are slow-growing, cool-weather mushrooms (55-65 degrees) and produce delicate, nutty clusters.
-
Hypsizygus tessullatus. Similar growing conditions to our NSHT1 strain, but produces clusters of pure white fruiting bodies.
