I greatly appreciate the opportunity to watch how a real pro does it. Very impressive! And zero condensation! Thank you!
Gotta say, I love your technique and the way you clearly break it down in your videos. Keep it up and thank you!
love your precision & briefings
I just found your channel, looking forward to seeing everything you've posted so far and what else you come out with.
New subscriber here, much love!
I enjoy your simple technique on important areas of mycology.
Thank you very much for all this we appreciate you 💯
Thanks for the tip on removing condensation, I have been dealing with this issue with mine
Great info, thanks Gary!!
“look at how clear they are” Truth. Looked like nothing was in em ❤️
Thank you for the tip. Last time i did my agar i let it cool to just under 50°C and after it cooled i used it straight away and got some condensation. Next time i will leave them out a few days like you have, hopefully that gets rid of my condensation problem

Great video!
Im a tip lover! Thanks for this video
Thanks Gary!
just ordered petri dishes, I use small glass jars and oyster mushrooms don't mind them but your petri dishes look so much better :)
Jars work well but they have a lot of volume for the amount of cultures I use so petri dishes are a big space saver 👍🙂
Really enjoy your vids, they help answer quite a bit of my question, I was just curious how long you typically cook/boil your agar for things to dissolve? A simple MEA for example
The quick dissolve premix takes about 2 minutes but the regular agar MEA takes about 6 minutes or so - just until it looks viscous and clear
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Thank you!
I have that same tool! Got at costco from one of those product demonstrations!
ahhh that's awesome! We got it as a gift but probably the most used "as seen on tv" product I ever had - game changer : )
So good to know - thanks for this video!
My laser thermometer has been sitting in a box all this time and I didn't even think of using it for my shrooming
Thanks
very helpful thanks. :) do you keep flow hood turned on the few or so that you let them sit?
So does that mean you didn't put parafilm on them while they cool? For a startup that cant keep something in front of a flow hood, what do you recommend?
The holy grail of plates
hey great technique, I'm having a problem using ordinary agar which is all I can source for the time being, but its gelling almost as soon as I mix it? and after heating and sterilizing it is 50% gelled, is it the agar or the mix in your opinion
Thank you for the pro tip Gary, I’ve been waiting for this one...I was skipping the pre cook melt and cool down. Any agar recipes you can share to help make those beautiful plates?
We use MEA, PDA, BCYA, DRBC and Water Agar - if you look in Peter McCoy’s book Radical Mycology there is a ton of recipes they are all pretty standard but I think it’s best to rotate between a few different kinds to keep the mycelium healthy 🙂🍄❤️
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi sorry but that's a lot of acronyms 😳 and I thought myself familiar with the process somewhat 🤦
I too was curious on the exact recipe do you use liquid malt extract? Is anything in powder form like do you use nutritional yeast?
I'm super impressed with your plates FRFR ty for the video I will sub
Amazing, after 3-4 days, they don't dry out????? Is that a top-down hood? And what is the CFM? Also, thank you so much for posting your knowledge and sharing your journey!!!!
Love your vids, man. When you're letting them rest for the QC in the flow hood, is the hood running the whole time? Thanks
yes it runs continuously 👍
Gary! First off, love the vids. Im still pretty new to Mycology but i definitely feel like i found a real passion here. So im curious, for someone with less then 2 years of exp. (And a cert. In horticulture) how hard of a time would i have getting into this industry? It seems like there's a lot of labs mostly in your area. I'm about an hour's drive north of you. I guess the question is, are there labs that would hire someone with that little experience/schooling? Or even do like internship type deal where id just be able to learn more first hand?
I assume your using liquid malt extract but do you use any other "food" in the mix? I'm incredibly impressed could you post the EXACT recipe? Mine always come out cloudy but they work 🤟 thinking a simple liquid light malt extract with sugar water n agar might work out pretty clear but wld that recipe produce?
Thank you so much for the tips!What is your recipe? i can’t get LME agar to get that clear.
Great video! Would you ever recommend using reusable dishes?
yes in small quantities they work great 👍

Those look great. I get condensation on mine. Maybe this will help with that
**Stacking your dishes after you pour, as he did in this video, helps eliminate some condensation.
ua-cam.com/video/R4BQTRrGMdU/v-deo.html
watch this one - it explains condensation
I pour my agar in a stack at about 120F, and still get condensation on the top and bottom third of the stack, middle third is clear. Need a method to slow down cooling in my still air box. Maybe add a heater?
Hey Gary, do you use any amendments into your agar like light malt extract, peptone, or yeast?
Yeah, without a recipe this video kind of fails at what it claims to be doing.
@@JuryDutySummonsI’m looking for the recipe in the comments as well, the video doesn’t say it.
great video. any idea on which petri dish to use? what material should it be made from?
Borosilicate glass
Hi, great job. I am learning. Need to know why pressure cooker and not any simple boiling pot?
And how long can you stock the Petri dishes with agar in them? Cheers!
pressure cooker gets up to 250F/15PSI which boiling only reaches about 205F here - It is necessary to sterilize. Plates will last 5-6 months but best to use fresh within a few weeks
What is the brand and model of that flow hood? Seems nice to work with. Thank you for all of the tips ✌️🍄❤️
it’s a flow-48 by air science! thanks I love it 🙂
i've seen a lot of people wrap their bottle in foil before sterilizing, it's nice to see it's not necesary !
Yeah I never understood that. The only thing that makes sense to me is to protect FAE ports on jar lids, but they usually say they're autoclavable too, so who knows. Maybe a throwback to the days when people were using polyfill?
4:05 AHA! You have MPOW earphones! They served me well for approx 3 years )
I made my first at home agar last night. I’m letting them sit now like you did. They have all solidified but some have a it of extra liquid in them on the top. Guessing from initial condensation? Is that going to be okay? Will it evaporate over the next few days and if it does not do I just leave it in there and still use it?
it will be fine but it will dry out if you let it sit for a few days and I think that’s best because if there is any contam it will reveal itself after a few days so you can remove any botched dishes before using them 👍
Gary if you see this: is it okay if I use brown-glass morphine bottles to sterilize my agar in? I have a lot of used bottles (long term illness) and they seem perfect for the job if they can be cleaned to standard. (I assume the smaller ones would be no good for slants?)
They do have child proof caps though and I don’t know what that means yet like if I can autoclave them on loose or not at all. I have quite a few PP containers too but they’ve all had medicine in them of varying types. Obviously I don’t want cross contam but is reusing these containers feasible?
Love the videos. You’re the best on actually showing the lab work and teaching those of us who never got to attend classes.
as long as they can fit in the pressure cooker, are clean and safe and if you put some foil on top as a cap they should be fine 👍🙂 I started by pouring agar through old salsa jars, and ball jars before I could afford pyrex media bottles - just use what you have and upgrade over time 🤓🍄❤️
Fresh from the Farm Fungi LLC That’s great, thanks very much. There’s something strange about growing medicine with my old medicine bottles. Even weirder that doctors never knew to suggest eating healing food for neurological pain. Crazy.
Thank you so much for sharing...much appreciated! I've liked and subscribed :). 3 questions please. I don't have a flow hood unfortunately but if I leave the plates out at room temperature for 72 hours (in a still air box), what signs am I looking for with regards to contamination before inoculating? If I have excess agar plates, how do I store them and how long will they last? Thanks a milliion 😀
Cool I will do a video on this! Thanks and MUSHLOVE
Dude totally blew your questions off....check out 90 second mycology or Philly Golden teacher. But from experience I think 3 days is to early to really see any contam just be as clean and sterile as you can. Good luck
And oh yeah I've had nutrient agar last a year in my fridge
@@georgedeschler1514 Champion!!! Thanks heaps George 👍
I'll answer it no worries, You don't wanna keep them open for 72 hours in SAB, the best thing to do is to cool it down to 130f like garry said and let it set for 15-20 mins and wrap it with parafilm or make a group of 5 and wrap them with shrink wrap or cling wrap, make sure you cover the bottom of the bottom plates too and for condensation use a coffee mug with hot water and place it on the top. You should store these in room temps and will easily last a month.
Hi Gary great tips, have you done a video on your different agar recipies for from spores to final growth? Im having issues with tryingbto get ryzomorphic growth, Im using MEA a premix powder but I'm thinking Its to much nutrient for the spores as thebgrowth even when cleaned up is just very fuzzy.
no I havent - I did this video a while back though ua-cam.com/video/iHYBu3rXHes/v-deo.html I want to update with more specific production recipes and I really like the V9 agar for rizomorphics I have had decent success getting them to take
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Thanks Gary I've only just started and bought Shroom supplies premix I think it's got to much nutrient and causing very fluffy tomotose growth. I've just done a batch of 500ml water agar with 2g LME and will see how spores and transfers respond on this weaker mix. Probably should just do a plain water agar for initial spores and work my way up to a more nutrient rich Agar.
@@Galvoflysoz How did that weaker mix do? Was wondering the same thing...especially when working with initial MSS plates.
Thanks for sharing your experience, is there a reason why nobody uses Cristal petri,s anymore?
if you are referring to the glass ones - they are a little pricey and cleaning is time consuming when doing larger scales like this. for a hobbyist I recommend glass though
Loved the video man. So is there a correct way to pronounce Agar? Because I've heard at least three different ways.
Been wondering the same thing!!! I've always said "AY-gar" all my life and assumed that was what everyone said too.
Then hearing/watching mycology videos recently, I've also heard:
• "AH-gur"
• "ah-GAR"
• I think I've heard another way but can't remember it
My god man the grammar PHDs are always out poking their virtual wieners into everything, all I want to know is….”How the fk do I do it right so my agar doesn’t look like chocolate pudding”… and this guy solved that issue for me perfectly.
Thanks man! 💪🏽
Thats looks greate! What's your recipe for agar ingredients? you don't stick them on parafilm right after spilling them? how long are you waiting with this?
this is the brand I use amzn.to/38X6cGF I don’t parafilm until after they are cooled and it usually takes overnight with the hood running 👍
What do you think - maybe it’s better to immediately pour the mixture into cups and put it in a pressure cooker for sterilization, so in my opinion there is less risk of contamination?
it won’t work with these plates since they are pre-sterilized this is the standard method .- you can do that with glass dishes though
Assuming these are similar to agar plates for bacteria, a few suggestions from my days in the lab
You can dissolve your agar mixture in a sterilized Erlenmeyer flask in the microwave. Way easier to maintain sterility than in a pot on the stove with a huge opening. Just make sure the flask you use is like 2x bigger than the volume of agar mixture, because it'll boil over easily. Watch it constantly, mix frequently (each time it starts to bubble, pause the microwave and swirl to mix), and use a secondary container (like a deep plate underneath) in case you mess up and it boils over. Way faster than the stovetop and less dishes/utensils to sterilize/clean. I think you could probably use those 500ml bottles in the microwave too
Use a torch to get rid of bubbles in the plate before it starts to solidify. A Bunsen burner or a regular handheld butane kitchen torch (like for creme brulee). The best way is to first lay out all your empty plates (not in a stack), pour all, then pass the torch over the surface of the whole lot (quickly so that you don't melt the plastic dishes). Put the tops on half-cocked with a gap, to let the excess condensation escape, until they cool.
Store and incubate your plates upside down. Any leftover condensation will settle onto the lid (which is now on the bottom), rather than the surface of your agar.
If you feel stressed and can't pour all the agar at once, you can put the flask of dissolved agar in a 55C water bath (or sous vide, which is pretty much the same thing). It'll keep it from solidifying while you collect yourself. Use a weight around the neck of the bottle/flask to keep it from floating up in the water bath
The pot he is using is a pressure cooker, which is not open. It is also way easier and more professional to sterilize in one of those rather than in a microwave.
He is stacking his plates to prevent condensation completely.
@@iyisusi9506 Using a microwave is a perfect solution for remelting the agar. So you can prepare a big batch when you autoclave, shut the bottles after. Then when you need plates shortly melt the agar in the microwave (as Alexei described, open the lid slightly to not build a bomb), let it cool to touch (with swirling) and pour some plates. Storing a closed bottle of agar is way easier than storing the 100 plates.
I also tried preparing agar plates completely in the microwave as Alexei described. The heat was enough to get them contaminant-free, but that is the quick and dirty solution.
Also another tip for getting non-contaminated plates: Turn them around after they solidified.
That flowhood/clean desk you have there must have cost an absolute fortune!!!
here’s the link for the table: amzn.to/3LZeZWi The flowhood: www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwisyJ_5wZP3AhVnDq0GHbKMAFIYABAJGgJwdg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESa-D2A0GGj2Mw2awLlV_92GbJT2PqkB49okvjIKK4s-4f-ofllmB2GVdRLTPXmLx93X065MStHXq9E-WeWo4r1LMMYl2T_xmCRnWnx6btfJ2HfPLz97ZK86rqU8vw5bskpI0kCPMXligb6Y8H&sig=AOD64_2SFJkbc88WyobhYv1sbNyIngTsAw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiZz5L5wZP3AhUdJzQIHaFbAUEQwg96BAgBEAs&adurl= the whole setup was about $3k total with shipping
Is that a verticle flow hood? Does it have intake vents at the bottom? I've seen so many people say vertical flow without intake vents won't work because it doesn't create laminar flow. I always thought that was BS and it would work fine. After all I work in front of a box fan with two merv13 filters taped to it and I have very little contamination.
intake vents are for safety cabinets the intake is in the top and then there is a chamber that builds pressure and passes through the HEPA
Yeah....agar recipe or which agar did you use?
Gary ma maan! Big up! What petri dishes do you buy , there are like a million ones to choose from.
I just get whatever is cheapest at the time they are all relatively the same - my favorite are falcon though they are hard to find but primo quality for the price 👌
For about two month i've been trying to make agar and liquid culture but, how much i try i just can't grow mycelium in my agar dish. I try to do exactly as you do, but the tissue culture i put in the dish just dried up and doesn't grow at all. In liquid culture also its the same, it doesn't from any mycelium. But if i put a piece of wheat from the spawn into my agar dish it grows nicely.
Will it be okay to use a grain from the spawn in petri dish?
Yes! Check out my 🔌 for the best psychedelics and sorghum agar plates

Hi Gary…what is your clear agar recipe THANKS!
That is some damn good looking agar. I’m just too scared to use a PC
Why? I think just about all of them come with a pressure vent that will pop out if pressure gets too high before anything explodes
Are they wrapped in parafilm while they are in the hood for a few days? Or no to let some condensation out?
I let them sit for a few days without wrapping first yes
Do you have a video on how to clean culture from bacteria? For example if you have contaminated petri dish, is there any way to clean mycelium from bacteria? Is gentamicin toxic to mycelium?
here ya go! ua-cam.com/video/5eexS-KoEMw/v-deo.htmlsi=n8v7Uv5hCsX45jHy
How do you clean plastic petri dishes? Any good method so they are again clean and completly dry stacked one on another ?
soak them in bleach water, then rinse with sterile water 👍 they will never be completely sterile again unless you have an irradiation machine
Can you share your Agar recipe? I couldn't find a video on your page where you discuss your recipe. :) Thanks in advance!!!
13 g agar, 20g malt extract, 20 g dextrose, 2.25g peptone per L
Can you post a link for your flow hood you’re using? Thank you.
they don’t make the exact model anymore but it’s an Airscience flow hood (4’ double filter)
Dope video but I have a question do you leave your flow hood on the whole time? Like I don’t wanna run mine for a couple days.
Yes I leave at least one running continuously - you can also sleeve them with the sterile sleeve that they come in if you are careful that it stays sterile during pouring and turn off the hood, leave the bottom loose so condensation can evaporate then in a few days heat seal
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Thank you I appreciate your reply it means a lot to me and you have a wonderful day!!!
Could I leave them in my still airbox instead of a flow hood? I don't see that being too big an issue. Just starting to get into agar. Been doing multispore then g2g for 6 months but it's way to tedious and time consuming for my desired production.
yes it will work as long as
they were poured correctly 👍❤️🍄
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Should the arm holes be sealed while they sit? Will humidity/moisture be a problem, since the SAB needs to be sprayed prior to pouring?
Could you do me a solid amd ask your mother-in-law where she got you that spinny stirrer, it does look a fabulous little tool 👌🏼Xx
What recipe gives clearer results? Are brewers yeast agar mixes supposedly always clouded? Thanks for the work.
it’s the lab grade agar that makes it clear - check our amazon affiliate but brewers yeast may lead to cloudiness you can try filtering but then why just not get higher quality to start with

What products do you use for your agar plates and quantities of each product?
look at our amazon store we use premixed lab grade agar
Did you turn on your flow hood for the whole time while you keep them there ?
yes 👍
I basically do my things in an sab and i seem to have trouble with bacteria and people from shroomery advised me to try antibiotic agar. is it appropriate? which one can i try
It can help but try water agar first (just water and agar agar, no nutrients) see if you can get that to work then slowly dial up the nutrients you might find a sweet spot instead of putting harmful chemicals into the environment / that’s my opinion. But novobiacin works well overall
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi thanks i'll try that
May i know the bottle you used for sterilisation? Any glass bottles can autoclaved?
It’s a pyrex media bottle - most glass can be used yes but pyrex is heat treated so it holds up over many uses
May I ask what dishes you use and where you purchase them from?
amzn.to/3lNzHkF I have used these before and like them - you might need to source bulk if you are doing a lot but you can test them first
For sure bro... do you ever sterilize the plastic plate for your own production?
They come already pre sterilized when you buy them, in sterile bags.
we buy them pre-sterilized - If I had my own irradiation machine I would do my own for now I let the big manufacturers do it 👍🍄❤️
What’s the recipe? And how do I limit condensation in my plates? It’s really getting frustrating? I’ve been told about the stack tip. But sometimes I’ll hit the agar with a mss and idk if there is too much liquid from the spore syringe going on the plate and then making condensation or if it’s the weather inside my home. Idk. Help needed!!!
heat up the room it may help - then try pouring when it’s cooler (125ish)

But butt whatt is the name for that Agar mixer lool ? How can i find one ??? That is awesomee
I found a place that sells them.
did you leave the floowhood running over the weekend while they were drying?
yes they are always on
I really thought this would have a great recipe for getting coear plates.
the recipe is 24g agar/L 12g malt extract I thought it was a given.
How would I assume a recipe that isn't mentioned? Honest question. I use 800ml water 20g agar, 20g light malt extract and 2g nutritional yeast as of now. That recently changed. I'm honestly not sure how I could guess your ratio.
I ordered the Criterion malt extract agar. How much of that should I use for 500ml?
it should say on the bottle per L just divide it by 2

a little agar boiled over and made my pressure cooker into jelly not bad enough to cause issues, just an odd cleaning experience.
I don’t get what is happening to my Agar. I use 400ml of water, 8g of Agar, 8g of Light Malt Extract and I mix it in very hot water until its visibly dissolved. Then come back 5 mins later after pouring it into my bottle and its separated?! What gives? Why is it doing this? Surly it should stay clear right?
try a better quality malt it may not be dissolving completely

Does one just parafilm them until use if they're not going to use them for four days?
dont parafilm until
they look like that otherwise the condensation will not escape
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi ok, how long do you think for it to look like that? I cant leave my flow hood on for longer than a half day or so
Zachary Swain In 90 second mycology it just says to store them in a box out of the way once the agar is set to let the remaining condensation escape.
What is the name of that tool you used

Thanks Gary. What kind of agar did you use?
Hardy diagnostics
I don’t think a lot of the cheaper brands of agar will pour this clean and clear!
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Do you have other PDA, MEA powder source for us, other than Hardy? Very "costly", for small home production. I only need 500ml of MEA, PDA. I understand if you are a commercial shroom enterprise then paying for lab quality ingredients makes sense. thx for your ed vids!
Hey what recipe did you use for the crystal clear plates? Is it just water agar?
13 g agar, 20 g malt extract, 20g dextrose 2.25 g peptone per L
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi is there a benefit to using both LME and dextrose instead of just one or the other? I’ve seen a lot of recipes that opt for just LME plus maybe some nutritional yeast. Is the peptone a nutritional yeast alternative?
Been working on this with my partner. Partner keeps skipping steps and I can’t figure out why.
need to be patient and get it down first then try to see how to save time 👍
Fresh from the Farm Fungi LLC Huh…. I never really think of him as impatient but yeah you might be right there. I guess he does get a certain type of impatient with the prep work.

Hi Gary, how often do you change your flow filter?
I change the pre-filters every 4-6 months and the main filters last 2-3 years
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi thank you Gary.
@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi and you said if the jars are not cleaned well, even after sterilizing, bacterial growth can occur. Can you make a video explaining this, Gary?

@@kemaltasyurek To my understanding when it's not completly cleaned, There can be bigger pieces in the mix which would take longer to sterilize. Which can result in a unfinished sterilization
