culture

Ismicropore and Tyvek tape are both materials used in mycology for the purpose of live culture. Ismicropore is a microporous tape, while Tyvek tape is a non-woven fabric. Both materials have their own advantages and disadvantages for use in mycology.

Ismicropore tape is a good choice for live culture because it is breathable, allowing for air exchange while preventing contamination. It is also relatively inexpensive and easy to use. However, Ismicropore tape can be difficult to tear, and it can leave a sticky residue on the culture container.
