Malt Extract Agar (MEA) Plates for Mushroom Cultivation (10 Prepoured Agar Plates)

They worked well and had no preexisting contamination, outer packaging was a little beat up but plastic inside was uncompromising. Thought that the lids being a little slide-y would mess up their contents with outside air but it hasn't so far and a lions mane culture seems to be doing well.

Product is just what I was expecting and works as I had planned, thank you for your speedy service

These agar plates were my first attempt at using agar to grow mushrooms for the first time and I was not impressed. The package (box) it came in was well sealed, but that’s where the “good packaging” ended. The plates were stacked in a ziplock bag stacked on top of each other upside down and there was liquid all over the inside of the bag containing the plates, where the contents clearly leaked all over the inside of the ziplock bag. These plates do NOT come sealed and are NOT sterile. There is no way to return this item so you will be SOL if you want to get your money back for this product. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!UPDATE: within a couple days of posting this review, bacteria started growing in the plates and are visible in the most recent photos added today. DO NOT PURCHASE!!

Used them to clone mushroom and they work.

All in perfect usable condition, already used four and all are going wonderfully!

Looks great.

i gave it a 3 star because the dishes had nothing holding the two halves together and i had gloves on with 70% iso sterilized but the first one i took out #1 was upside down so the glove contact the agar with 3 fingers, used and labelled contam in case, but there should be some sort of tape wrapped around the entire edge of the dish holding the lid to the dish and keeping out any contam... just because its in a bag doesnt meen the inside of the bag when made didnt touch a quadrillion little contaminants.... so 3 for lack of caring. none were contaminated uppon arrivaal but you would think a company that producing pre pours would think of this and been through this before.....

Over the years I have purchased many types of microbiology products and all too often have been blindsided by contamination that was 'guaranteed' not to be there. These agar dishes came exactly as described. I have learned to let my 'contaminant free' products sit long enough to prove that they are not contaminated, or to start growing a little surprise, and have had 100% consistency with this brand!
