Mycological Peptone is a mixture of animal and plant peptones required for obtaining luxuriant growth of fungi-yeasts and moulds.

When dissolved in distilled water it produces light yellow coloured solution that remains clear even after autoclaving. It is also compatible with other media constituents and will not precipitate in media. 1.0% w/v solution of it, provides a broad spectrum of amino acids required for mycelial growth and sporulation.
