Laboratory Culture Media &Substrates

Advanced level:

If you're a beginner, it's best to start with our ready-to-grow kits or our grain-based mycelium.

These pre-filled Petri dishes containing sterile agar are ideal for growing fungal cultures, cloning wild mushroom samples, and germinating fungal spores.

Using pre-poured agar plates offers many advantages over manual preparation. In addition to being convenient, they reduce the risk of culture contamination because they are poured in a laboratory under completely sterile conditions.

We offer two different culture media:

"MEA+" Medium (Malt Extract, Agar-agar, Peptone):
A rich nutrient medium suitable for culturing most mycelia. Malt extract provides essential sugars and 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 the purity of air or samples (contamination tests).
"Sabouraud + chloramphenicol" medium:
Enriched with an antibiotic (chloramphenicol), this medium limits bacterial growth and becomes highly selective. It is ideal for sensitive procedures such as the cloning of wild fungi or the germination of spores, especially under non-sterile conditions. Mycelial growth may, however, be slightly slower in this medium than in a medium such as MEA+.

Preservation

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

Seal unused containers with plastic wrap. You can store them in the refrigerator (around 4 °C) to extend their shelf life and prevent the growth of contaminants. However, be sure to place them in an airtight bag or container to prevent condensation and potential contamination from moisture. A dirty refrigerator with significant temperature fluctuations can be a source of contamination.

We recommend that you open the bag and work in the cleanest possible environment, ideally using a laminar flow hood, a glove box, or a fume hood.

The boxes are protected inside a waterproof bag and then sealed together with stretch film. They are not sealed individually. Opening the bag in a non-sterile environment usually results in contamination.

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

Shipping information:

We wrap the petri dish bags in bubble wrap to prevent breakage during shipping, but they are still fragile.

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

During transport, condensation may form on the lid due to temperature fluctuations. This is not a problem in itself and will disappear during incubation.

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

Simple and effective

Simple and effective; no contamination was detected after delivery. Minor flaw: a few small impurities, likely caused by poorly diluted clumps, but not at all bothersome once you realize that nothing abnormal is growing there...
