This recipe for super nutrient agar plates is great for propagating mushroom mycelium. Combining honey, light malt extract and potato water makes for a power house of nutrients. I use different agar formulations from time to time to keep the mycelium from getting bored of the same old food. So if I have mycelium that seems to have slowed down, I transfer it to this high nutrient agar to rejuvenate.
Recipe for 1 liter of super nutrient agar solution (40 Plates):
1TBS of raw honey
8 grams of LME
4 small potatoes
20 grams agar agar powder
Distilled water (Final Volume 1 Liter)
You may cut the ingredients in half if you want to make 20 plates instead of 40.
The NocBox by North Spore is a great option to pour the agar plates in, it keeps the air still to protect your work. It's super easy to set up using the provided tent poles and I love the portability. It's like a lab you can take with you anywhere! It has arm holes with ties and zipper openings to bring in large items like substrate.
