Pre-poured MEA plates- Petri dishes (Malt Extract Agar) for mushroom growing.

Our agar plates are thick-poured, which helps retain moisture for longer, preventing the plates from drying and making your cultures last longer.

– 10x Parafilm pre-cut strip

– 10x 90mm Petri dish with MEA sealed with Parafilm

These plates are to be stored at room temperature. Do not store them in the fridge unless colonized.

Shelf life: 30-45 days

About the petri dish-

These dishes are made of clear polystyrene, allowing clarity while being disposable and durable. It is easy to stock and grip and has an anti-slip ring that offers stability.

General MEA petri dish information-

MEA is a gelatinous medium 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 viruses (We have a separate listing for a school project kit on our eBay store)
These plates are treated with UVC light, greatly reducing contamination chances.

Malt Extract

Malt extract contains a high concentration of maltose, which provides a suitable environment for the growth of fungi. That is due to its rich source of carbon, protein and nitrogenous compounds, which are used as energy for fungi growth.

Agar-Agar

Agar-Agar is extracted from various seaweeds, such as gracilaria and gelidium (It contains no animal ingredients. Due to Agar’s unique gel property and stability, 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, which may sometimes arise due to shipping, we will refund you for those affected plates. Please send us the photos within one week of receiving the package. We are not able to reship the affected plates.
