Add to ~800 mL distilled water. Stir to mix. Bring to final volume of 1000 mL. We recommend autoclaving then allowing to cool to the point where containers of the solution are warm, but cool enough to be handled safely. Swirl containers to ensure contents are well-mixed, and then pour/dispense by pipette into Petri plates or other containers in your flow hood or glove box. ~50 plates at ~20 mL/plate.
This medium is black to increase visibility of light-colored mycelia. The image of the package is what you are buying; the image of the plate is representative of finished medium: dark black.
