The problem of replica plating filamentous fungi such as Coprinus lagopus is overcome by inducing micro-colonies with sodium deoxycholate and using ‘Velcro’, a hooked material, to replace velveteen in the standard replica plating technique. ‘Velcro’ is advantageous in that it has a regular pattern of closely spaced hooks which transfer small inocula from the colonies on the master plate.
