They both work the same.  The only difference is PDA would probably be easier to do because u can easily get potatoes and not everyone can get the malt extract for the MEA

  I can get the malt extract at my local brew shop. I am liking the MEA. I don't want to get any thing with dextrose in it due to tahoe's claims http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7887928/page/1. What is your opinion? You to DocT and anyone who knows best:stirthepot:.

Tahoe Says less sugar is better. He claims " You do not want a hyper active mycelium that goes into shock once put to grain which has less sugar.
You want the opposite. A healthy low sugar mycelium that goes hyper active once it hits the grain that has more sugar.
Really sir. See for yourself. It's really quite intriguing.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7887928/page/1 So this is why PDA discourages me. PDA calls for 7 grams of dextrose.

Yeah I have read similar things that to much sugar can put mycelium into a sugar coma or some shit like that they say.

But I always use PDA and I always use LME/DEX to make LC's I just follow the teks that have already proven to work and you cant go wrong.

:thumbup: this will be my first agar attempt. I think I will go with MEA. I have everything I need for that.. I always use LME/DEX to make my LC's also. With much success. Did you check out that link to tahoe's thread? I'm gonna try tahoe's method along side my usual LME/DEX for my next LC's. For my LC's after that. I am going to inoculate my LC's with spore syringes along side with live cultures from a petri dish.:wink:


Roger Rabbit said this about PDA in this thread here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5972321
