Why Wear a Mask for Mycology?
Every breath carries tiny droplets full of bacteria. When you are leaning over an open agar plate or grain bag, those droplets can land right where you do not want them. A simple surgical face mask stops most of that and is one of the cheapest ways to improve your success rate.

Our Tip
Talking over open containers is a classic mistake. We even catch ourselves doing it. A mask is a good reminder to keep quiet and focused while working.
