Malt Extract Yeast Agar, in any colour you like as long as it's one of those two above (no colour is categorically not a colour)!

Made from 100% lab-grade ingredients

Agar is one of (if not the) most important pieces of your toolkit. If you want to learn how to grow mushrooms, if you want to be able to work literal acts of wizardry by cloning mushrooms, cleaning up wild samples, or creating clean liquid culture, then agar is what you need. 

Failing that, maybe you just want to eat really tiny portions of funny-tasting jelly? It’s probably in a Slimming World recipe book somewhere. 

This is our MEA agar, except pumped up a bit more with the addition of some tasty yeast (hence the ‘Y’ in the name!). This will give your mycelium a bit more to chew on than a standard MEA plate. Because it’s reasonably complex as a food source, you can use this for long-term storage of your cultures. You could make these at home with a bit of care, some equipment, and some time, or if you just want to buy some sterile agar plates you could pick up a stack here for a decent price. 

Make sure you’re using this with a flowhood (in an ideal world), or a still air box at the very least, or you’re going to be taking a massive gamble. There’s dust and all sorts of stuff floating around inside the house, and the bacteria and wild yeasts on that dust will love growing on these plates, just the same as your mycelium would…

We’ve got two flavours available:

• Rose Bengal (fancy name for pink)
• Ocean Blue (fancy name for, uhhhh, blue)

Pre-poured in our 90mm triple vented plates, ready for use in an aseptic environment.

All of our agar products are covered by our 60 Day Returns Policy, same as our grain and substrate!
