Phenalphthalien (sp?)
    #5658758 - 05/21/06 11:52 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys. I have quite a few decent sporeprints from some subs I found, and thought I might try and grow some using the spores. So I bought some agar home from school today, but it's got phenalphthalien (sp?) in it cause of a practical we were doing. Just wondering whether mycelium will still grow from the agar? Theres an asian food shop up the road from me - do you think they'll know what I'm talking about when I ask for agar? Or is there some other term for it? Apologies for the silly questions lol but any answers would be much appreciated!
Thanks:)

I have no idea what that stuff is, sorry. I also don't know if Asian stores would have agar, but I do know that any brewery store will for sure. You can also look into malt dextrose agar for easily accesible agar.

Try a couple test plates with your fancy agar and let us know how it turns out :mushroom2:

Thanks anyway:)! Phenalphthalien indicates if a substance is basic by turning pink, sorta like universal indicator I think. But supposedly the stuff is poisonous, so I don't know how safe the shrooms would be if they did grow... Anyways, I set up a few plates, so I will let you know asap!

Phenolphthalein, as previously stated is just a pH indicator. It's slightly acidic itself. When it comes in contact with something with a pH above 10 it turns pink as opposed to the way it's colorless normally. It used to be used as a laxative but was taken off the market because of concerns that it might be carcinogenic (causes cancer). I'd probably stay away from it if I were you.
