King Oyster Mycelium – Colonised Agar Petri Dishes

King Oyster Mycelium – Colonised agar dishes ready for you to use or clone.  King Oyster mushrooms are among the most popular choices for home, hobby and commercial growers alike, and with good reason. Like all Oyster mushrooms, they taste great. As an added bonus, they’re among the easiest of all mushrooms to grow, making them perfect for home growers, especially those just starting out growing mushrooms.

This listing is for one colonised 90mm agar plate with live King Oyster mycelium, sealed with parafilm to keep the contents sterile.

Your colonised agar should be kept in a fridge until ready to be used, at which time leave them at room temperature for 24 hours prior to use. They cannot be frozen and should be kept in darkness. Once opened, the agar dishes will be exposed to non-sterile air and so should be handled only in a protective environment such as a still air box or, ideally, in front of a laminar flow hood. Never touch the agar or mycelium with anything that has not been properly sterilised. If not fully used, and assuming they have been protected from floating contaminants, fresh parafilm can be used to reseal the petri dish. The original tape cannot be re-used.
