Our mushroom cultivation activated charcoal malt extract agar sterilized petri dishes are perfect for growing mushrooms. These dishes are made with agar, which is a substance derived from red algae and is used to culture a variety of microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungus.
The process of using these dishes is simple: drop a tiny amount of liquid mycelium onto an agar petri dish. Wait for the mycelium to develop and spread across the agar surface (this may take a week or two to complete, depending on strain and conditions.) Once the mycelium has covered the surface of the agar, sterilize your blade with a fire source and prepare to cut. Flame sterilize the blade, let it get red hot. Then, cut a small piece of the agar (1 centimeter in diameter is good) Transfer the cut piece onto another agar plate. Repeat this process as many times as possible (just make sure the transferred piece has mycelium on it.) Now you have several agar dishes with a small piece of mycelium-covered agar, the mycelium will spread across the new agar surface and then you may repeat the above process once the new dish is filled with mycelium. Using these pieces of agar you can transfer it directly onto substrate and start growing. Agar to agar transfer gives you an insane amount of value compared to repeatedly having to buy liquid culture syringes.
