Agar to Substrate question
    #26721748 - 06/05/20 11:50 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I've been playing around with trying to get mono-cultures and now I have 50+ fully colonized agar plates that are contamination free.  I realize the typical process is agar > grain > substrate.  I'll be mixing some grain to substrate soon and was wondering if there are any pros/cons to doing this.  I was thinking I could get faster colonization times if I did this although I'm not sure if it could be problematic somehow.

Thanks in advance.

Likely missing some brain cells, but I'm not sure what you're asking.

do you mean that you are putting agar straight to substrate? i would think that won't work, as the grains provide the nutrients necessary for growing the shrooms.

Somebody cased a plate with coir recently and I think that worked a little.


I’d probably try throwing some in a blender with sterile pf mix and pouring that into a bag or Tupperware.

You got a lot of plates to experiment with.

I figured the agar has nutrients so I thought it might be beneficial. 

I like that idea Aka.  I think I'll do some experiments like that and maybe toss some colonized agar and colonized grain into a shoebox with some coco coir and see what happens.

I have 80 of the holy grail no pour dishes and it just feels weird to toss the ones I'm not using for LI / A2G. 

Thanks guys.
