Noob on agar. Extra liquid bad or good?
    #8382733 - 05/09/08 06:29 PM (15 years, 10 months ago)

I made 2 jars of cornmeal agar and they seem to be fine... I guess. The thickest particles of cornmeal are more concentrate towards the bottom but that is of no concern to me. There is like a 1 mm surface film that is liquid... I thought that the whole damn thing would solidify. I'm using a spore syringe and I know this has been done many a moon but just wondering if the water layer on top would/will be a problem. And of course theres going to be water after I inoculate with spore syringe.

Should I like leave the jar tilted so the solution gathers one side of the jar or something? I used the tiniest amount of spore solution I could.

When I did the same style of agar cultures I had the same thing and just left it... didn't seem to cause any problems, and the myc eventually colonized just fine.

More info from TMC:

Problem:
Media fails to solidify.

Cause:
Insufficient quantity of agar or distribution thereof.

Solution:
Thoroughly mix media before pouring.

I was studying that part of the TMC the other day... But the other day I wasn't even thinking of doing agar so I skipped that section. Silly me...

I know your pain, fellow mycologist. I did the same thing with my first casings (coir/verm) and ended up with a textbook overlay situation.
