Agar plates for germinating Mushroom Spores and general mycelium growing. These are sterile poured nutrient agar plates.
Agar mix is Sabouraud Dextrose and is suitable for all commonly-cultivated species of mushrooms in NZ: wood-lovers and dung/ compost-loving species both grow well on this agar mix.
Will not work for mycorrhizal fungi such as porcini or truffles.
These plates are perfect for growing out mycelium to make grain spawn, germinating spores etc. They are also suitable for growing yeast and bacteria.
Perfect for school experiments like culturing fingerprint swabs—grow anything on these agar plates and discover what thrives!
Please note:
- 4, 8 & 20 pack options come in a sealed sterile bag, each plate is not individually wrapped. Only open these packs inside a >> Still Air Box or in front of a >> Laminar Flow Hood
- Individual Plates come individually wrapped in plastic film.
Green wrapping film will wrap about 250-300 * 90mm plates - it is simple to apply and much cheaper and easier to use than parafilm. We strongly recommend wrapping plates after adding your culture or spores for best results.
