Working with gourmet spore swabs, prints or syringes?
Looking to grow those wild species of mushrooms you discovered during your foraging?
Our premium Malt Extract AgarPots are the perfect solution, plus they are injectable.
Easy to work with, large 120mm diameter with Inject-thru™ lids
September 2026: We only provide scalpels with this kit to customers who've ordered with us in the past, prior to September 2026. Otherwise if you want scalpels you will either need to provide proof of age to us (a hassle for us tbh) OR to beter: to have Royal Mail confirm that at the door (which you'd need to send an extra £5 for when paying as they charge extra for that service). If this is a nuisance, just know we dropped the price of this product down to £20 from £40 until we can figure out a better solution to scalpels that does the same job and is sterile - ...and in writing that; I might have a nifty solution that we'll need to test to see if it works (brb! 🙂

What customers say
14 reviews for AgarPots™ Kit
These reviews are verified CusRev reviews. You will likely see large gaps in the years, these were either due to being on an extended break from Cylocybe due to life events or that we had gaps where we kind of stopped paying the CusRev contract. We unfortunately lost all of our Trustpilot reviews. If you want to leave a review, feel free to. We never pester for them, but only a teeny tiny number of people write them and it would mean a lot to us and our potential customers if you did when you get sent a review invite in a few months. If you order more than one product here, please don’t review every one of them - we had a customer buy 40 syringes and leave top reviews for each - we appreciate them but we have to remove them because they look manufactured. And for the love of mushrooms, don’t buy 40 products and leave 40 bad reviews without getting in touch first :)

I'm slightly at a loss of how to use these, is this to reuse and regrow the mycelium from your first grow?
Hi there, I recommend you going on to your favourite video streaming site and searching for agar so you can see what agar is all about :)

Do I need to sterilize the agar when it arrives. If so, what is the best method you suggest?
They are already sterile - we’ve done all the work, you simply need to inoculate them :)

Thanks. But I've read that they don't keep that long, once poured? And perhaps two or three would be ample for one grow, so it would be better to have the other seventeen to use perhaps several months later.
Wrap the dishes well and store between 2-5C. As long as they don’t dry out, they will last a long time.
Or simply purchase the AgarPot’s instead of this.

Does it work to make up just say two or three petri dishes and use the rest in the future at some point, ie you will keep heating up what's left in the bottle and using it as needed over time?
I think the agar will start to lose it’s solidifying properties if you do it like that.
You’d be better making lots of petri’s as use as needed.

Stopped at customs
In the 9 years we have been running, we have only had a couple of issues with parcels being stopped at customs - if this is the fault of us (USA seized a parcel once because we put a Cadbury's chocolate bar into a parcel as a treat ) then of course we will sort it out and take the hit. But if it's not our fault, then we will not cover any replacement cost. Luckily, this situation has probably happened a few times in all of these years.
