Malt Extract Agar Powder 100 Grams - Evviva Sciences - Make Over 135 Agar Petri Dishes (70% More) - Premium Quality - Excellent for Mold & Fungus - Great for Mushrooms & Science Projects

I used it for working with mushroom mycelium and it worked great for me. It was my first time ever using agar and it was easy and I was successful the first time.

It is difficult to line up the device so that it locks into place with the filter. It would not take much to provide a red dot or something to help line up the device with the tiny hole.

In my beginning days of mycology I thought I needed to buy things like this but then I learned that you can buy like a kilo of LMEA plus Agar Agar for basically the same price as this which is basically a shot glass worth of stuff. This is ripoff city. Please just buy regular MEA, agar agar, and active yeast. It’s literally that easy. 500ml distilled h2o, 10 g agar agar (the type they use for food). 7.5 g of MEA (type used for brewing beer), 0.25 g of dry active yeast. Mix, PC for 20 minutes, pour into Petri dish and you have perfect plates for rhizomorphic growth.

I bought this for some agar dishes. Used twice and didn't like it. Thought it didn't work well

Powder contained at least 2 large pieces of foreign material (plastic tubing of some sort). I assume its from their manufacturing process. For the price, I expected better quality. You’re better off buying food quality agar powder (fraction of the price). It
