sorry didn't meant sound like a dick,
but that shit is probably full of preservatives and chemicals. :thumbdown:

Here:

RR Said-
Jello has been tried dozens of times over the years.  You can find the results with a search.  It isn't an agar substitute.  The mycelium will feed on the gelatin, turning it back to liquid.  It will also begin to rot at room temperature, leading to bacterial contamination.  I'm not aware of a single success story.  Sorry.

they sell agar at oriental supermarkets and in the oriental section of fancy grocery stores.


it's called agar agar.

there's lots of recipes. mine is one half stick of agar, 1 tablespoon corn syrup, 1 teaspoon of potato starch ..stirred into 1 cup of boiling water

substitute the sugar or starch with wutever u have available.

Could you use that stuff in petri dishes? It would be handy to fill, seal, sterilize.

You didn't get agar yet? Go get it at a health food store.

I dunno I don't have any petri dishes. I don't see why not. Seems like it would work
I was thinking about adding a little verm and tryin to get some sterile pins. That would be cool eh? The jars have GE so it seems to me like it may work
