Plate cultures are ideal for growers looking to make master bags, inoculate grain, make liquid culture, or make more plates.
Our chestnut (Pholiota adiposa) 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. Chestnut 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.

Excellent quality and service
The plates arrived on time and in pristine condition. I have ordered many plates and liquid culture syringes from North Spore and have never been dissatisfied.
