    A live, first-generation Myco Labs culture growing in a sealed 15 mL agar slant, the standard way labs store genetics long-term. Pick your species, keep it in the fridge for over a year, and take 5-6 transfers to agar plates or liquid culture.

    Each slant comes with a disposable agar punch and a sterile #11 scalpel blade, so you can take your first transfer as soon as it arrives.

    Why growers keep cultures on slants

    Long-term storage

    A refrigerated slant keeps a culture for over a year without constant subculturing.

    Multiple transfers

    Take 5-6 transfers to plates or liquid culture from one slant.

    Sealed and compact

    The sealed tube resists contamination and drying, and takes little fridge space.

    How to use a slant

    1Store it cold

    Keep the slant in the fridge until you are ready for a transfer.

    2Set up clean

    Work in front of a flow hood or in a still air box with clean hands and tools.

    3Transfer

    Cut or punch a small piece of mycelium and place it on a fresh agar plate or in a sterile liquid culture jar.

    4Reseal

    Close the tube tightly and return it to the fridge.
