speaking from personal experience make sure that if you ever order the malt enriched agar from fungi perfecti make sure you are getting the right stuff and not just the plain ol agar.
so i started off by mixing the agar according to the usual directions which is 50 g/ liter of water. pc'ed and allowed to cool a bit. after the usual amount of time the agar was way too thick. still haven't figured out what happened i attempted to reheat to no avail. finally looked at the instructions on the bottle and it said 20 g / liter. i was like whoa and then noticed it was agar agar.
simple fix as it turned out since i had 50 g of agar and 1 liter of water to account for that amount of agar i would have to increase the water and add malt extract. so yeah long story short i'm now about to prepare 2.5 liters of agar's worth of petri dishes...
