What brand of agar are you using?


First agar product was bought from a german mushroom cultivation store:
https://www.pilzzucht-shop.de/substrat-rohstoffe/agar-agar/#cc-m-product-8465745094

The agar i used for the plates on the pics comes from ebay: vitalundfitmit100 GmbH

The pics all show the germination plates. (T0)
Does it make sense to make some transfer or is it a better idea so start with new plates?

Yesterday i poured some new plates with the follwing recipes:

20 grams agar, 20 grams malt extract, 1 liter water 
15 grams agar, 15 grams malt extract, 1 liter water

Also have some more of the plates which were used on the pictures:

20 grams agar, 12 grams malt extract, 1 liter water

Which ones would you prefer?
Do you think it is like a contam problem or a nutrient / agar problem?

The pan plates look good

I'd take some transfers (a couple) from all of them. Try out both batches. Most ppl use .5% nutes on pans fyi

Besides new agar like others have mentioned, a pinch of nutritional yeast will give a good boost.

Can also try smaller batches.

I meant the growth looks like germ…are they supposed to look differently? I guess I’m lost on what the problem is

Gotchya ...yes they look pretty good

The only thing a little* concerning is the halo
at left edge of the top.

But with all the condensation it's hard to say...
Plus there's other areas that are able to be excised.

With such clear plates back lit, looking from the bottom can help determine which type of growth.

But you're on a good path just xfer and most likely able to send,  next plate or two

Okay, i will do some transfers tomorrow and use both batches.
Next batch of plates will get some nutritional yeast.
0.5 % nutes only for pans? 5 grams for 1 liter?
Thank you for all those helpful information, guys.  :smile:

I am completely new to agar, so i was not sure how exactly germ plates have to look like.
Saw many pics here on shroomery where the germ plates have already shown fluffy, thick myc.
So i thought the transparent look and the thin growth could be caused by enmeshed bacteria.

FYI unless strained/filtered they won't be as clear or pristine with the yeast. But it won't negatively affect it.

Do you mean the liquid at the left edge?
There was a lot of condensation water on the agar.
When i made the picture, the water pooled down, against the top myc colony.

Will update as soon as T1 and T2 plates are ready. :smile:

Thank you again for your help!

Telephone?


I have been seeing "Telephone" brand agar recommended since I was first starting out

With all due respect is there a comprehensive comparison between Telephone agar and any other agar?

I have been consistently buying the cheapest no brand agar for this entire hobby and havent had issues. Just curious if there is value behind the brand
