I always use malt yeast agar:
10-20 grams light malt extract
20 grams agar powder
2 grams yeast
1000ml h2o

Pre-mix always leaves you limited, that and the individual components are always cheaper than buying it mixed.

Asian markets, or possibly a health food store. I don't think most supermarkets carry agar unless they have a bigger ethnic section.

You also need some kind of nutrients.

You cannot just use agar in a dish.

Just sayin.

I would assume the little kit thingy is an agar/nutrient mix.  Probably not the optimal mix for mycelium, more than likely some type of animal protein for bacteria growth.
