Wow, it's crazy that 9 months ago I hadn't meddled in agar yet. This post helped me a lot, and now agar is the norm for me. Between Pasty and You, I have learned so much about agar and how to use it and it has changed how I do mycology forever. Newbies read this please.

Nice writeup Mad! Agar is not hard at all is it :grin:




My advice to anyone just staring out in this field...research and practice with agar before wasting any time or money with any other method. Agar IMNO (in my newbie opinion) is the best method regardless of how daunting it may appear at first. it really isn't that difficult and making mistakes are very cheap compared to, oh I don't know, say going through two whole 12 cc MS of Cambodia and eventually feeding the birds and squirrels 20 jars of rye grain. Pasty you have been a champ in my corner so far and Mad Season, you just helped me tremendously with a couple of things i see that I had been doing wrong. Namely, when I placed a drop or two of MS on the agar I tried to be as careful as possible to not move it around thinking this would help it germinate faster by keeping the spores all together. From here on out I will definitely try to disperse them now. Makes total sense too. I'm glad to know it's okay to use the side of the jar to get the wedge off my scalpel. I am having a rather difficult time getting them to come off whether it be agar to agar transfer or agar to grain. They're very sticky. A heated coffee can huh? Don't I feel like a dumbass. This is a kickass write up brother. Thank you.

Love and Light to us all. Namaste

thank you for this tek, the tip about cutting into the receiving plate with the agar made my work so much cleaner, just a simple cut and drag instead of scraping the scalpel around everywhere trying to get the wedge off :lol:

i hope it's okay to bump this, i have a SAB technique question

after prepping grain, i store it on a shelf in a closet. i leave the foil covering the top

i wipe down the jars (including the foil) before bringing them in to the SAB

after removing the foil inside the SAB, do i need to wipe off the lid before opening for inoculation? or is the foil sufficient enough to keep it safe?

Just recently did my first agar plates... Inoculated 18 of them with various species and strains. I hope I was sterile enough, I think I might have been too impatient and rushed. We'll see. This is nerve wracking, lol.

Foil should be fine. Realistically if you did things right and only had the sterile lid bottoms on top of the open media, you don't even need to wipe things down. Just don't let anything but the underside of the lid go over it. Alcohol is more of a safety net than a necessity IMO.
