Just thinking outside the box here, but maybe the filter on the agar lid is a good thing?

Seeing as we know that myc / shrooms need and want oxygen at all stages of development, maybe a filter on the agar plate lid would help in growing out the myc in a more expeditious fashion? There is of course the higher potential for contam, but whatever. Has anyone experimented with this?

Thanks.

I have experimented with this and it is my preference.  I don't worry about it.  Just close the lid, pc, and forget until I'm ready.

I just think it's a vector for contams to open the pc, then to have to close the lids?  But to each their own.

Why not just close the lid, pc and forget?
