It's a cost-benefit thing for me.  It'd be a 10-mile round-trip to go to the three places I need to go to get agar, dextrose and potatoes/potato flakes.  So time, plus materials, plus gas, plus time spent mixing/weighing everything and boiling the potatoes/making the broth, the pc-ing it then doing the plates.  It's well worth the time saved just to spend $30 on nutrient agar, which gets delivered right to my door, makes enough for 250 plates, I know works well and is pretty hard to screw up.  Just add water and pc.  At the end of the day this little agar experiment has only cost me about $20-$25... kind of a bummer, but no big loss.

I get people like their own methods, but I happen to have more money than time at the moment, so for me, it balances out.  I just chalk all this up to paying my tuition at 'shroom school.




for reals I feel like you aren't grasping how incredibly easy it is

don't boil potatoes. all you need is instant mashed potatos, honey, and agar. thats like 10 bucks. you don't even have to cook it. you can just swirl it in hot tap water and pour then pc.

not to mention, you are going to need to know how to make your own agar recipes because you shouldn't use just one recipe. Ideally, you would change the recipe with every batch to ensure the virility of the culture.
