P.Mex-a and agar

Any special agar recipe to get p.mex-a going? Looking to hedge my bets since these are not the easiest prints to come across (or even see on foil).

I have heard lots of people use MEA (Malt extract agar) and it works well.
I am growing some Tamp on Potato Agar and it is working. Although Malt Agar might be a bit better

Agree that Tamp and PDA seem to be compatible. I suppose since they both fall under the Mexicanae section in the Psilocybe genus, that their performance on PDA should be about the same?!?

Ok cool. Didn't want to over think it, but I really want to see what this beast can do, and certainly don't want to fuck up right outta the gate (if I can help it). 
Thanks guys!

I've been using MEA exclusively for years with great results for all the species that I grow. Psilocybes and Panaeolus love it.
