Parafilm M is a self-sealing, semi-transparent, flexible, odorless thermoplastic film that provides a waterproof barrier for covering laboratory vessels including petri dishes, jar lids, and more. It is gas permeable with low water permeability and ideal for use in culture applications as it does not affect oxygen or carbon dioxide permeability.
Moisture proof sealing film stretches up to 200% for a secure fit on irregular-shaped surfaces. The nontoxic material is resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols and organic solvents.
Note: Because it melts quickly when heated, Parafilm M is not safe for use in autoclaves or pressure cookers.
Making the world of mushrooms accessible to all
North Spore was launched in 2014 by a mycologist, an organic farmer, and a photojournalist -- three college friends brought together through their shared love of the mycological world.
What began as a simple love for mushroom foraging and cultivation quickly developed into an obsession with all things fungi. From there, an urban mushroom farm was born, as was the desire to spread the spore to the masses.

Parafilm review
I bought this after watching the instructionals on the North Spore website. This stuff works great, much better than micropore tape on plates.
