Websites for US ordering of petri dishes and agar?
    #18873085 - 09/21/13 05:12 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Really easy question...What are some companies websites in the United States that sells (not necessarily the cheapest) but the best agar for cultures?  I was interested in starting one and observing it daily under the microscope but I would like someone to point me in a direction of Sterile and Cheap petri dishes and agar. Thanks

Any of the sponsors.  I've had good service from out-grow, but mycopath, mycosupply, everythingmushrooms will set you straight too.

One could also check eBay or amazon, etc., but if you want to help support the shroomery go for some sponsors like mush said.

I use these three section petri dishes because it lets me have three experiments going on in each dish.

Ive looked through the sponsor pages and couldn't find any (in stock)...Saw some on ebay and amazon but weary of them not being sterile.

Now when they say disposable does that mean they cant be cleaned again and sterilized?  Im not familiar, as this is a new hobby, with the benefits of glass over plastic and if the disposables HAVE to been thrown away.  Any information helps...thanks

^^^Those are nice, from what i'm gathering they are disposable..

Did you spot the Pyrex 100x10mm on ebay for $75?  Those you'd be able to re-sterilize each time till you broke them all. And not fill up your Sooner dumpsters w/ a bunch of suspicious petri's?  I wonder if your area would have a cult shop?

I was searching through a lot of threads yesterday about using 1/2 pint wide mouth jars to start...think is was Roadkill that said it's an easy and cheap way to get started.  (That could of been 8years ago though)

Most people here don't like glass because it costs more to sterilize them than it is to buy disposable, plus they break, and are more clumsy to work with.

I, on the other hand, have no problem with Pyrex.

I'm not sure I follow.

I order my petris from lab supply stores online.

They are not affiliated with mushroom cultivation or anything specific.

As far as pyrex dishes go, sure, they're great if you are doing a single culture at a time and can afford a dozen.

But I work with multiple cultures at once and so do a lot of others.

When you consider contams and other issues that can come up, treating petris like they are worthless and keeping hundreds on hand is a much easier, less time consuming, and cheaper route.

Sorry & Thank you!
