Classic Series - Prepared Agar Plates

The Prover's Choice for Speed & Testing: Mush Ohio's Classic Series.

Meet the drag racer of our agar lineup. Our Classic Series uses a time-tested Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) formula, which swaps malt extract for pure dextrose—a simple sugar that acts as a high-octane fuel source for mycelium.

Because of its fast energy absorption, this plate is the perfect tool for gauging the speed and aggressiveness of different genetic isolates side-by-side. When you need to know which culture is your fastest, this is the plate you reach for.

Key Features:

• High-Speed SDA Formula: Powered by dextrose for rapid energy uptake, promoting some of the fastest mycelial growth possible.
• The Ultimate Test Medium: The perfect plate for comparing the growth rates and vigor of different isolates to find your strongest performers.
• Crystal Clear & Crisp: Offers a beautiful, crystal-clear, orange-tinted medium for easy viewing and tracking of growth.

Recommended Use:

• Best For: Gauging the aggressiveness of different isolates, speeding up transfers for species like King Trumpets and White Elm, and general fast-growth applications.
• Use With Caution: Like the Vigor series, this rich formula is not recommended for Lion’s Mane.
