Shiiiit, I ain't no pro, but I love agar anyways. So many reasons, clean inoculate, always something to do, its fun and easy. Having a few cultures then fruiting them all to see which does best is like betting on the horses. Finding that excellent culture that makes it into the slant collection is always a plus. Agar is not just for pros, noobs like me can have just as much fun with it

i've reused a couple of my plastic dishes, you can't boil or pc them but i have had zero problems cleaning them. i used old dishes with my antibiotic agar which seems to be holding the bacteria at bay and letting the myc. grow even the dishes i purposely put bacteria in...plus the nice thing about plastic dishes is if one gets overrun by a contaminate that ran a muck you don't feel as bad about just tossing it out...

Yeah you can't lose sight of the fact that working intimately with your culture on agar is very rewarding and enjoyable. It also teaches you a lot about the mycelium itself and how it grows

That's one of the attractions of pp5 agar, you can reuse that shit till the cows come home. Back into the PC it goes

i'm just razzing him not raining so much as a blizzard here, and i always appreciate a good discussion. i know i was all about glc's and lc's one time myself...thought i had found the best thing since sliced bread! well until everything either went bad or contaminated and i started looking into making agar which was incredibly intimidating at first, but i will never go back...i haven't done an lc in over a year once i started doing g2g i knew i could do sterile work and gave me the courage to start doing agar!
