If it still solidifies fine I don't see why not.

Good question. I haven't had any go out of date yet, but I've been wondering about it. I would think it would still be fine, but I don't know, so I'm going to follow and see what everyone says.

Should be fine. Do a test run and if it's solid then it's good to go.

I'd assume the expiration date just means it won't taste good. Which it doesn't anyway...
Mycelium won't care.

My lab grade agar doesn't have an expiration date. Probably what the user above said, they do that because of the taste or something.

If your agar is expired your mushrooms might get food poisoning, guise!

The fungi might like it better!  Try it along with some fresh agar.

All food products require an expiration date, even if said date is arbitrary.

Hey there Junkie...

Your agar is just fine to use-as mentioned above-this is an arbitrary human consumption related date.

I have a question. Sorry to jack OPs thread, but why would someone want stiffer vs softer agar?

What difference does it make?

Apparently spores germinate easier in softer agar.
I always use 20g premixed MEA per 500ml water and I've never had trouble germinating spores though.

Less sugars can change the way myc grows too.
It can be the difference between rhizo and tomentose.

Some people also rotate agar types each batch (PDA/MEA/etc.), so they don't end up isolating cultures that only thrive on one type of media.
