Vigor Series - Prepared Agar Plates
Fuel your cultures with Mush Ohio's Vigor Series.
When speed and biomass matter, the Vigor Series delivers. This rich Malt-Yeast-Peptone Agar (MYPA) provides the nutrient density that fast-growing species and production workflows call for.
Where our Foundation Series is lean and selective, the Vigor Series takes the opposite approach: plenty of nutrition for fast, dense growth. It's the plate you reach for to expand a culture you trust before moving it to grain spawn, or to perk up a sluggish isolate.
Includes WeMush tracking: Every order ships with a QR code linked to WeMush, our cultivation tracking platform. Scan it to view specimen details, log observations, and follow your cultures, free with any Mush Ohio purchase.
