🔬 How to Use & Storage
Store your Petri plate in a cool, dark place (4–8 °C ideal) until you're ready to work with it. Use sterile technique to transfer a wedge of colonized agar onto fresh plates, liquid culture media, or sterilized grain spawn. Lion's Mane thrives on hardwood sawdust supplemented with bran — a rewarding species for intermediate to advanced cultivators. Keep the plate sealed and upright to prevent contamination.
