Review: No contaminated plates - I have bought these agar plates 5 times now, and not had any contaminated plates. Very satisfied with this product. I just wanted to add the photo and explanation I bought the agar plates in the photo on Dec. 1st 2022. Today is Nov. 29th 2023! I lost this box of plates in a move and just rediscovered them today. After a year of sitting around at room temp, they are all perfectly clear! There is a little moisture inside two of them, but otherwise they are like brand new! I'm not going to push my luck and use them. I will recycle the plates with my own agar. But I feel that the cleanliness of this product required mentioning. Review: They did what they were supposed to. They arrived sterile and grew mold when exposed to air - They did what they were supposed to. They arrived sterile and grew mold when exposed to air for one hour. If testing for mold this ten pack is the way to go. One placed into the center of each room 3-4 feet off the floor in the house opened for 1 hour. Then sealed in a zip lock sandwich bag. Label them and place them in a drawer or cabinet (Dark) for 5-7 days then examine the plates for mold. Remember to also place one outside as a control. In our case the air outside produced 100 times the amount in the house. The air outside was bad. In this case best to use 3M furnace filters to filter air that gets in the house, or use an air cleaner like Winix. . * You can compare mold sample to pictures found on the internet to determine what kind of mold it is or send them to a lab if you have a serious issue ($40ea Ouch). ## Features - Pre-poured PDA plates are ready to use, very convenient for growing mushrooms. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 774 Reviews | ## Images ![Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) Plates for Mushroom Cultivation (10 Pre-Poured Agar Plates) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m+ujeA5UL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can these plates be pressure cooked?
