If you are in the Chicago land area go a mile in any direction and you'll be in a different ethnic neighborhood. Either way I got mine from the science and surplus on N Milwaukee Ave. Google it. It's $6 a vial and it makes 10-12 plates. Just add malt extract, potato flakes, whatever your recipe may be...

it was a PAIN for me to find agar locally. of the 5 grocery stores none of them had it. i had to go to a nutrition house type place. and it's REALLY expensive. so i ordered a pound of it on amazon. pretty sure this pound will last a very long time

Thank you everyone for the replies!

I'm in the northwest suburbs... I checked the local "international market".  They had so much shit, but not agar.

I might have to just order online.  I'll check the GPS and see how car away that science shop is!

Agar is going to be awesome.  I'm doing some portabellos! Way excited.

I just need the agar.

And sporedepot.com has premade agar plates 5 for $8

Be patient, right?  LOL.  I was just hoping to find it locally and make my own plates... TODAY. 

I had bought premade plates before from a vendor.  But wanna experiment!

The "vegan" store is what I was trying to say in my first post.  My "vegan" store has the NOW brand of agar-agar.  It's powdered and used to make vegan gelatin. 



You do know that you also need a nutrient source for your agar such as patatoe flakes and dextrose or light malt extract in order for your agar to work, right?

Thats why I like to buy MEA mixed already..it saves time in hunting down ingredients, a lil more expensive but whatever. RR also agrees with this.

It's a matter of personal preference more than it is doing something for the sake of someone else doing it.  It's also because RR lives in the middle of nowhere and is growing MAD amounts of mushrooms.  Most of us don't even come close to using the amount of agar he does in a month.  Also, I have a brewers shop and "vegan" store both within 3 miles of my house.  Personally, I'd order pre-made agar to if I lived somewhere where it was inconvenient to buy my own ingredients locally or if I was growing so much mushrooms I really didn't have the time to leave my lab.
