First time on agar
1.i bought agar named potato dextrose agar Is it enough by it self to grow mycelium? Or do I have to add something like Malt extract or yeasts.
2.i have inoculated 6 Petri dishes with spore A week ago. I see no growth in them. Isn't it supposed to be fast on agar, isn't it? Does it mean that the inoculation failed?
3.i also inoculated 3 micro boxes this time I cocked the agar inside the micro-box And inoculated with spore syringe. Again 5 days have pasted and I see nothing.
How long is it suppose to take to see significant growth on agar? And how long should I Waite before declaring it failed.
Thanks in advance for your answers

did you soak the spores in sterilized water first?

it took me about a week to find how to post at all. so the first place that i find that i could post in, i jumped on the opportunity. only then i realize my mistake. sorry for any inconvenience.
did you soak the spores in sterilized water first?
i did spores with no soaking on the petri dishes and i did spores that were socked in the micro box.
the petri dishes were inoculated tow days before the micro box new 8 Day for the petri. 6 days on the micro box.
still no visible result.
i thought that the hole idea on petri and agar was that you can see result very fast.
my lest grow took 3 month and is still on going. 4 cakes birthed,1 about a month ago,gave Mushrooms,the second 2-3 weeks ago still nothing. the last two 1 week ago this time with no dunk and rool just dunk.

i dont know about microboxes but spores on agar need soaking: When first produced, spores are moist, inflated cells with a relatively high rate of germination. As time passes, they dry, collapse at their centers and can not easily germinate. The probability of germinating dehydrated spores increases by soaking them in sterilized water. For 30 minutes at 15 psi, sterilize an eye dropper or similar device (syringe or pipette) and a water filled test tube or 25-250 ml. Erlenmeyer flask stopped with cotton and covered with aluminum foil. Carefully touch ~ spores onto a scalpel and insert into sterile water. Tightly seal and let stand for 6-12 hours.
