Pink Oyster Mushroom Colonized Agar Plate
A sterile, pre-colonized agar plate featuring pink oyster mushroom mycelium (Pleurotus djamor) growing on a nutrient agar. This ready-to-observe plate is ideal for education, demonstrations, and hobbyist exploration of fungal growth, colony morphology, and microscopy—without the need to inoculate from scratch.
