Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) Petri Dishes for Mushroom Mycelium Cultivation

Store in a cool dry place like a cupboard, don't store in the fridge.

Plates must be sealed after use or contamination will occur.

Some condensation is expected during transit, keep at an even temp for a few days before use.

Spray down the packaging of your agar before opening and only open in an aseptic workspace E.g. in a still air box or in front of an Flow Unit.

Use within two months of the sterilisation date label.

Agar dries out over time, often it is fine up to 6 months from arriving but at your own risk.

The dishes used for our pre-pour agar are not autoclavable therefore they cannot be re-used for agar pours.

We like to use them to store mushroom spore prints after use.
