According to the Mushroom Cultivator, take 20 g light (tan) malt extract, 20 g agar powder, 2 g yeast. Put that all into a container and add water until you have one liter of the mix. Sterilize in a pressure cooker at 15 psi for 30 minutes. Best to do it in a glass bottle corked with a peice of cotton, and covered with aluminum foil. Let cool. Agar solidifies at around 120, I think, so pour it before the temp reaches 120. Dragon

Where do you get agar? Do you have to order it off of the internet or can you pick it up at some local store?

Apparently some health stores carry it but I couldn't find it anywhere. I got mine off the net. Dragon

Also I think that Asian markets could carry it.

Actually found it at the local Hobby Lobby, might check there or a similar craft/hobby store.

Most Asian markets carry it. It's used in making jelly desserts. I am not aware of any good substitutes, but some people have done well with brown rice flour paste spread over the bottom of a jar and that should still be much better for spotting contamination than a liquid culture.
