How long can you store colonized agar plates?

I have a bunch of colonized agar plates that have been in the fridge for about a year. They look super healthy, just like the day they got in the fridge.

I've heard that master slants can be stored for up to many years, but it's recommended to refresh your master slant collection every year by taking a sample from the master slant, growing it out on agar, and then creating a new master slant from that agar plate by taking a small sample and storing it in the slant.

So based on that, shouldn't I be safe to use them?

Hey Baldur,

Yeah, you can store plates for at least a year, think I have gone somewhere near 18 months with clean plates stored air tight in bags and in the fridge.  Just make sure they don’t freeze or dry out.

For indefinite storage you will definitely want to revive the myc with a transfer every year or so and to give it new moisture.
