Plate cultures are ideal for growers looking to make master bags, inoculate grain, make liquid culture, or make more plates.

Our Italian oyster plates are made to order in our in-house lab using medical-grade petri dishes. If properly stored upon arrival, they have a shelf life of approximately 6 months. Italian oyster plates should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain viability. Note that mycelium cultures require basic lab skills. Handle using sterile technique to prevent contamination.
