Description
Black Morel (Morchella angusticeps) Gourmet Mushroom. Top fruiting. Fruiting temp: 12°-21°C
The colonized mushroom mycelium on agar plates would be sent when they are 60% colonized .
Our agar plates are thick-poured, which helps retain moisture for longer, preventing the plates from drying and making your cultures last longer.
We offer High-Quality Disposable Gloves and Masks, essential for maintaining sterile conditions in your mycology projects.
Agar Plate features
– Fully colonized Live mycelium of your choice on a 90mm Malt Yeast Peptone Agar petri dish.
– Ideal for expansion into grain spawn, liquid cultures, and other Petri dish.
– High in complex food for mycelium to boost mycelium growth.
Your purchase includes
– 1x 90mm Petri dish with inoculum
Did you know that we sell Mushroom culture in form of Liquid culture, Log plug dowel spawn, Agar plate, Mushroom grain spawn, Sawdust Substrate and as Mushroom Growing Kits?
Agar plates are made to order and can take 2-4 weeks to send; they are never stocked. Our cultures are regularly updated, and we send you the plate with our latest culture.
We make the plates as soon as they are ordered. For this reason, we are unable to cancel your order since agar plates are already being colonised.

Due to the specific conditions under which they thrive, Morel mushroom cultivation is typically best adapted to outdoor environments. Although there have been isolated instances of successful indoor cultivation, this required nearly ideal environmental replication using expensive equipment; companies that discovered it have patented the indoor cultivation process.
To cultivate Morels successfully, you must first prepare the soil. The ideal soil should be loamy and alkaline, enriched with wood particles and ash. Morels in nature typically flourish following forest fires, with an optimal pH level between 9 and 10.
Sawdust spawn or grain spawn are typically used to spread the mycelium outdoors. However, grain spawns are typically not recommended for outdoor distribution because birds and insects may reach them before the mycelium can propagate. Sawdust spawn proves to be the best medium for spreading mycelium.
Unpredictability in Morel cultivation is a factor that must be considered. In general, deciduous trees indicate a favourable environment as morel mushrooms form symbiotic relationships with these trees. We recommend preparing a shady area for your Morel crop, considering that it may take between one and two years for the mycelium network to become fully known and established. Once established, you can anticipate annual production increases. Set up your morel outdoor space in spring or autumn for the best chance of success. Important to remember is to keep your patch damp throughout the year.
YouTube contains many tutorials that could serve as a resource for more detailed instructions.
Lastly, when collecting Morels, please correctly identify them, as false Morels can occasionally grow in the same environment. True Morels are hollow, whereas false Morels are not; this is a distinguishing feature.
