Advanced level:

If you are a beginner, it is best to start with our ready-to-grow kits or our grain myceliums.

These pre-filled sterile agar petri dishes are perfect for developing fungal cultures, cloning wild mushroom samples, and germinating fungal spores.

Choosing pre-filled agar plates offers many advantages compared to manual preparation. Besides convenience, they reduce the risk of culture contamination, as they are poured in a laboratory under completely sterile conditions.

We offer you two different culture media:

"MEA+" medium (Malt Extract, Agar-agar, Peptone):
Rich nutrient medium, suitable for culturing most mycelia. Malt extract provides sugars and essential nutrients, agar-agar provides a solid base, and peptone enriches the medium with organic nitrogen in the form of peptides and amino acids. It also promotes bacterial growth, making it a good choice for testing air or sample purity (contamination tests).
"Sabouraud + chloramphenicol" medium:
Enriched with an antibiotic (chloramphenicol), this medium limits bacterial growth and becomes very selective. It is ideal for sensitive manipulations such as cloning wild fungi or spore germination, especially under non-sterile conditions. However, mycelial growth may be somewhat slower than with a medium like MEA+.

Storage

To preserve unused plates:
For optimal results, use the plates as soon as possible after receiving them.

Close unused boxes with stretch film. It is possible to store them in the refrigerator (around 4 °C) to extend their shelf life and prevent contaminant growth. However, be sure to place them in an airtight bag or box to avoid condensation and potential contamination due to moisture. A fridge that is not clean and has large temperature fluctuations can be a source of contamination.

We advise you to open the bag and work in the cleanest possible area, and if possible with a laminar flow hood, a glove box, or with a flame.

The boxes are protected in a sealed bag, then sealed together with stretch film. They are not sealed individually. Opening the bag in a non-sterile environment usually leads to contamination.

To store the colonized plates:
Once the petri dishes are colonized by the mycelium, store them in the refrigerator.

Transport information:

We protect the petri dish bags with bubble wrap to prevent breakage during transport, but it remains a fragile product.

If the order contains other heavy items that may damage the boxes, we reserve the right to remove the item from the order or to add an additional shipping fee to send it in a separate package.

During transport, condensation may appear on the lid, which is related to temperature variations. This is not problematic in itself, and it disappears during incubation.

Note: All warranty claims must be submitted with the boxes still sealed in their plastic within 2 weeks of receipt.
