Pre poured petri dishes Malt Extract Agar (MEA) for mushroom growing
Our agar plates are thick-poured, which helps to retain moisture for longer, avoiding the plates from getting dry, making your cultures last longer.
Your purchase includes-
- 10x Parafilm pre-cut strip
- 10x 90mm Petri dish with MEA a sealed with Parafilm
These plates are to be stored at room temperature. Do not store them in the fridge unless colonised.
Shelf life: 30-45 days
About the petri dish-
These dishes are made of clear polystyrene, it allows for clarity while being disposable and durable. Easy to stock and grip and have an anti-slip ring that offers stability.
General MEA petri dish information-
MEA is a gelatinous medium that is used to purify, germinate, isolate and manipulate mushroom mycelium.
These petri dishes are 100% ready to inoculate with spores or mushroom mycelium.
We recommend MEA plates for-
Germinating spores
Isolating a specific strain of mushroom
School projects to grow bacteria, protozoa, fungi and virus (We have a separate listing for a school project kit on our eBay store)
These plates are treated with UVC light, which greatly reduces the chances of contamination.
Malt Extract
Malt extract contains high concentration maltose, which provides a suitable environment for growth of fungi. That is due to its rich source of carbon, protein and nitrogenous compounds, that are used as energy for the fungi growth.
Agar-Agar
Agar-Agar is extracted from various seaweeds, such as gracilaria and gelidium (It contains no animal ingredients. Due to the unique gel property and stability of Agar, it is used as a firming and thickening agent for Petri dish experimentation.)
You can also buy anti-bacterial agar plates from our store or other pre-made Agar mixes to make your own agar plates.
In an unlikely situation when you receive some plates damaged or contaminated that may arise sometimes due to shipping, we will refund you part payment for those plates that were affected. Please send us the photos within one week of receiving the parcel.
Our highest priority is ensuring the most pleasant experience for our customers.
Feel free to contact us regarding any further information and we will be happy to help you on your mushroom journey.
