What was your agar recipe? If it's Potato Dextrose Agar I usually add in a little corn syrup or honey. Malt Extract Agar I don't.

If it was me, I'd just make a new batch of agar. You could probably use it. Maybe wait for someone else, I pretty much only use MEA.

gotcha. yeah, it’s not really too inconvenient to just mix up a new batch. just figured i’d ask before either using them or starting over. thanks for the quick responses!

If there's potato flakes, should be good to go.

I used to add karo but after getting good results with just potato flakes, that's all the nutrients I use anymore.

I know you can heat up agar to make it fluid again. Then add honey and sterilize again?

i mean you could but... if you already poured the plates, & the myc develops fine without the honey, why bother?
