Agar is for germinating spores and isolating strains away from other strains and contaminants. Since the mycelium grows on a flat, two dimensional plate, it is not for expanding mycelium.

Aagr is usually used for just mycelium growth and cloning, although I have seen shrooms growing straight out of an agar plate.

You can grow mushrooms on agar but they'll be small and there are much cheaper ways to grow more mushrooms.

agar is mainly used inoculate more jars. you can cut the agar into wedges and transfer them to grain jars. eliminates spore germination time and u can inoculate like 5-10jars, depending on the size of the agar wedge.

i would put 2 wedges in each jar for 2 places of inoculation in the jar. results in faster colonizing speed.
