I'll get the yeast with my next order, Lew, and I'd love that PDA recipe of yours milkboy.

Will be pouring 30 plates of BRF plates today, with a 2% agar content, to see whether I can get something to happen here, before I get PD and yeast.

I use dried potato flakes. Available at any grocery store, or amazon.

To make 80 to 90 plates (if you want to make half as much, divide each ingredient by 2):

--Start with 1.6 liter of distilled water.
--16 grams of dried potato flakes. (you can substitute malt extract, but I've had better results with potato)
--30 grams of powdered agar agar.
--24 grams of dextrose.
--15 grams powdered activated charcoal. (optional)

Stir on stove at medium heat. I use a Immersion Hand Blender  also called a Stick Blender 

I use my PC pot to make the agar. All-purpose witches cauldron. haha .

Used Potato flakes and a squeeze of Karo... for 10 years before ever trying Lme

Allegedly true nats, T1. Good growth for a T1!

Just that it’s less likely to have good symmetry on a T1 vs later transfers. Choosing mycelium from a germ plate, it’s rare you get super clean edges. In fact, the germ plate was dozens of little colonies all mashed together, but the transfer looks “refined,” so to speak. I don’t expect to see this before T2, much less 2 transfers being that uniform.

This is a T1 from the grain I managed to revive from a jar.
I sent 2 of the best looking plates to LC.

These look really good, Monkeys. You've come a long way around here.

Pic tax, a sliver of colonized activated charcoal agar about to be flipped face down onto a new plate.

"Someday, son, this stick blender will be yours. I used it for 60 years, once a month to make agar for shrooms."

... and twice a year for creamy giblet gravy.


Pix tax:

Mex Chicon Nindo x2, Cube x7x+, Cube cross Phantom, Natalensis, Ochraceocentrata, Pan Bisporus, Pan Burringbar

Need my new Presto to get here to cook up some jars.
