Colorado Cultures Pre-Poured Agar Plates – 10 Pack

Take your cultivation game to the next level with Colorado Cultures’ pre-poured agar plates, available in convenient 10 packs and crafted fresh in-house to ensure clean, consistent results. Whether you’re performing tissue cultures, testing liquid culture purity, or doing transfers, these plates provide an ideal environment for strong, healthy mycelial growth.

Choose from four specialized agar recipes, each formulated to support different growth goals:

Sorghum High Nutrient Agar

Designed for rapid colonization and robust mycelial growth, this high-nutrient formula is ideal for expanding cultures quickly. It provides an abundance of sugars and carbohydrates from sorghum extract, giving the mycelium everything it needs to grow fast and thick. Great for cloning strong genetics or expanding cultures before transferring to grain.

Sorghum Low Nutrient Agar

This lower-nutrient formula is perfect for sectoring and isolating clean mycelium. With fewer available nutrients, mycelium grows more slowly and in more defined sectors—making it easier to identify rhizomorphic (ropey) growth vs. tomentose growth. Ideal for genetic isolation, mutation hunting, and developing master cultures.

Light Malt Extract (LME) with Bacteriological Agar

A classic choice in the mycology world, LME agar is great for general-purpose use. It offers a balanced nutrient profile that encourages healthy, even mycelial growth without overwhelming it. Perfect for culture transfers and quality control testing of spores or liquid cultures.

LME with Bacteriological Agar + Activated Charcoal

This enhanced version of LME agar includes activated charcoal, which helps absorb toxins and metabolic waste that could inhibit mycelial growth. The darker medium also makes contamination easier to spot, helping you catch bacterial or mold intrusions early. Ideal for working with difficult cultures, wild clones, or cleaning contaminated samples.

Whether you're a rookie cultivator or a seasoned lab tech, these plates are a must-have tool in any mycologist’s toolkit. Clean, consistent, and tailored to your needs—Colorado Cultures agar plates make growth easy.
