Well, for starters, it's super easy to use. With a quarter-pound of this product, you can produce your own agar media without any fuss. Just mix 20 grams with 500 ml of water, heat it to a simmer, and stir until it's fully dissolved. Once that's done, sterilize it at 10 to 15 psi for about 30 minutes, and you're good to go. Pour it in sterile conditions, and you'll have the perfect base for your fungal experiments.

One of the things I love about this product is its consistency. It's just right for filling up those 100 X 15 petri dishes. The agar serves as a nutrient-rich medium for your mycelium to thrive.
