Establish your own working master culture with our premium Reishi Agar Plate grown on Malt Extract Agar (MEA). Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is produced from carefully selected commercial fruiting genetics chosen for vigorous mycelial growth, robust fruiting body formation, excellent biological efficiency, and consistent yields. This freshly prepared, actively growing Petri dish provides a clean starting point for expanding onto agar, preparing liquid cultures, inoculating grain spawn, or maintaining long-term culture storage.

Every agar plate is prepared under strict sterile laboratory conditions and inspected before shipment to ensure a healthy, actively growing colony. Reishi is prized for its glossy reddish-brown fruiting bodies, remarkable appearance, and longstanding reputation as one of the world's most recognized functional mushrooms. Agar plates are ideal for experienced cultivators, researchers, educational laboratories, and commercial mushroom growers seeking to preserve and propagate stable genetics without relying on spores.

This strain is sold under its widely used trade name Ganoderma lucidum. DNA studies have shown that much of the reishi cultivated today belongs to the closely related species Ganoderma lingzhi, and both names are widely used for red reishi.

Antler vs. Classic Form:

Reishi can develop into two very different-looking fruiting bodies from the exact same genetics: the classic broad, glossy, cap-like conk form, or the branching, cap-less antler form. Which one you get is determined by cultivation conditions during fruiting, not by the culture itself. Restricting fresh-air exchange and allowing CO₂ to build up (roughly above 2,000 ppm) inside the growing container encourages antler growth, while providing regular fresh-air exchange (keeping CO₂ below about 1,000 ppm) encourages the classic conk form. You can even influence the outcome mid-growth by adjusting ventilation partway through.

Freshly Prepared:

To provide the healthiest possible culture, every Petri dish is prepared fresh to order. Please allow approximately 2 weeks for preparation, incubation, quality inspection, and packaging before shipment.
