What is the Myco Lid Pro™ ?

  • Luer Tapered Fittings

    Unlike any other myco jar lid on the market, the Myco Lid Pro™ with its integrated luer tapered fittings, sets a new standard in Jar Tek for the novice and professional mycology communities. No more hassle with making inferior jar lids that only last a handful of uses. Utilize the luer tapered fittings as they were intended.

  • Protected Air Port

    Integrated into the Myco Lid Pro™ is a protective screen that allows for the separation of the substrate in the jar from the filter material chosen for gas exchange. This feature further protects your mycelium from contaminations caused by compromised filters.

  • Replaceable Accessories

    No more hassle with drilling and gluing accessories to your lids. The Myco Lid Pro™ design allows for any accompanying accessory to be replaced without modifying, re-gluing, or discarding your lid for a new one.

  • Capped Air Port

    In order to accommodate all techniques in the practice of Jar Tek, a capped air port introduces a second option for those that prefer gas exchange mediums other than a syringe filter.

  • Choose Your Filter Material

    Versatility is key in this novel design. With the capped air port, one can place any filter material of their choice within the Myco Lid Pro™, allowing for a more broad range of cultivation techniques to be utilized. Secure your filter in place with the screened cap to further protect your gas exchange medium from contaminations.

  • Sample Cultures like a Pro

    Attach a dispensing needle to the integrated luer fitting on the Myco Lid Pro™ to allow for more efficient and sterile practices when repeatedly sampling your liquid cultures. No more tipping your jar or wearing out the self healing injection ports when sampling.

  • Aesthetic Labeling

    Documentation and organization in scientific ventures are key to consistent and predictable results. Integrated into the Myco Lid Pro™ is a raised surface for the utilization of labeling your jars in a clean fashion. Keep it clean. Be precise.

  • Non-Kink Design w/ Gasket

    Metal Lids are only intended to be used once and plastic lids are intended for freezing purposes. Adding a gasket to plastic lids becomes a hassle because the typical plastic lids kink and move the gasket when screwed into place. The Myco Lid Pro™ is designed to be used with a separate locking band that moves independently of the lid when being screwed down tight. This circumvents any kinking and ensures a sterile seal.

    • Interchangeable between spawn run and liquid culture applications

    • Available in both wide and regular mouth sizes for mason jars

  • Standardized Design

    With a universally standard design for a mycology jar lid, the Myco Lid Pro™ introduces a more practical and reliable device for the study of mycology. Simplifying all techniques for mycologists in the realm of Jar Tek.
