Agar wedges are colonized agar cut to fit in a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube. They are wrapped in parafilm before being sent and are placed in a ziplock bag.
Liquid culture (LC) are 10 mL, capped and include an 16g needle. They are labelled on the syringe.
Plug spawn is sold in 100 ct (by weight) packages. The plug spawn (also called dowel spawn or dowels) are 1/4″ in diameter and 1″ in length.

Wedges are processed fresh weekly and only ship Thursdays– if your order contains any gourmet wedges, it will ship Thursday.

I am able to make grain spawn, plug spawn and ready to fruit blocks of nearly all gourmet species listed here to order- email me for a custom order of grain spawn, plug spawn or blocks. See also the currently available gourmet Ready-to-Fruit blocks.
I do not produce grain spawn, agar wedges, or ready-to-fruit blocks for any active species. DO NOT ASK.

Storage and Use Suggestions:
Wedges and LCs should be transferred to agar ASAP.
I recommend cutting the wedge into 2-3 pieces- 1 piece is used for a master plate (for expansion and long-term storage) and the other can be used to start fresh LC or spawn.
LC can also be used to start master plates for expansion and long-term storage; however, they can also be used to inoculate spawn or liquid culture.
Wedges can store for 2-4+ weeks at room temp and 1-2+ months in the fridge- LC lasts 1-3+ months at room temp and 3-12+ months in the fridge.
I highly recommend using these items ASAP even though they can store for decent time periods.
