Beyond Agar Plates for Mushrooms – Pre-Poured Malt + Grain Agar (20 Pack)

About these agar plates

These plates are poured with our Beyond Agar recipe: light malt extract, grain powder, yeast and organic agar. The grain powder adds complex nutrition that supports vigorous growth across gourmet, medicinal and wild-collected species, making Beyond a reliable all-purpose plate for any fungus.

Each plate arrives sterile and ready to inoculate, so you can skip mixing, pressure cooking and pouring and go straight to culture work.
