Sterile and lab equipment.

Genuine 3M Micropore paper tape, 1.25cm by 9.1m. A breathable, latex-free seal for inoculation points, plate edges and lid holes that lets air and water vapour through while keeping out larger airborne dust and debris.

Clinell sanitising wipes that pair 70% isopropyl alcohol with 2% chlorhexidine, for a fast clean plus lasting cover on ports, lids, tools and gloved hands before you inoculate.

A one litre bottle of 70 percent isopropyl alcohol for wiping down gloves, tools and work surfaces before clean work. It disinfects, it does not sterilise.

A still-air box, a temperature-controlled incubator and a heated fruiting chamber, built into one compact, low-power system. It lets you grow gourmet mushrooms in any season, even through a cold UK winter, without heating the whole house.

A 130 litre still air box with the arm holes already cut for you. It gives you a calm, low airflow space to work with agar, spawn and cultures, so fewer contaminants reach your sterile work.

A small set of single-use hygiene items for working clean during inoculation. It covers your hands, your face, your work surface and the injection port, so fewer bacteria and mould spores reach your culture.

Genuine 1 litre Kilner round clip top jars, sold in a box of twelve. The standard glass vessel for grain spawn and small bulk substrate work in a home lab.

Swann-Morton No.20 surgical blades, gamma sterilised and sealed one per foil pack. A clean, sharp edge for cutting agar wedges and opening culture work in front of a flow hood or still air box.

Grey butyl rubber ports that fit a 12mm hole in any jar lid, so you can inoculate through a needle without opening the jar. The rubber reseals as the needle pulls out.

A small, low-cost way to test your own spores before you commit them to a full grow kit. Germinate a sample first, see that it runs clean, and only then inject your substrate.

Single-use plastic loops, gamma-sterilised in the bag, for picking up spores from a print, syringe or liquid culture and streaking them onto an agar plate without flaming anything.

A dry sterile rayon swab in a screw-cap tube. Use it to lift spores from a print or gills and smear them onto agar, or to take a sample for a contamination check.

Genuine Unicorn 3T autoclavable bags with a 0.2 micron filter patch. The standard choice for making grain spawn: filled with grain, sterilised in a pressure cooker, then inoculated with your own culture.

Five small borosilicate glass vials with a self-healing rubber port in the lid. You inject and draw through the port with a needle while the screw lid stays sealed, so they suit liquid culture and storing spore or culture samples.

A large fabric fruiting chamber that holds high humidity and lets you add fresh air, so colonised blocks and trays pin and fruit in a clean, controlled space.

A roomy polypropylene fruiting tent for gourmet mushrooms. Built-in filter strips let fresh air pass in and out while the enclosed space holds the high humidity your fully colonised substrate needs to pin and fruit.
