If you’re serious about mushroom cultivation, agar is about to become your best friend. Whether you’re testing spore viability, isolating genetics, or prepping for that perfect liquid culture, agar plates are where real mycology starts. At Fullsend Organicks, we’re not just here to drop product—we’re here to drop game. Let’s break down why agar belongs in every grower’s toolbox and how it pairs with tools like our Myco Punch™ to level up your grow.
What is Agar?
Agar is a seaweed-derived jelly-like substance that acts as the foundation for mycelium growth in petri dishes. It’s clean, controlled, and lets you see exactly what’s going on with your culture. Want to know if your spores are viable? Want to select strong genetics before wasting your super bags? You need agar.
Why Every Grower Needs Agar in Their Setup
1. Viability Testing – Don’t Waste a Super Bag
Before injecting spores or LC into a bulk substrate, test them on agar. In just a few days, you’ll see if your spores are alive and healthy—or if they’re dead in the water. This step saves you from wasting high-performance products like our grain-free super bags.
2. Genetic Isolation – Clone the Strongest
Ever pulled a mushroom off your grow and thought, “Damn, that one’s the king”? Slice it, drop it on agar, and you’ve got the start of a super strain. This is where mushroom supplies meet real mycology—controlling your genetics at a micro level.
3. Slurry Culture Prep – Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
Slurry cultures (aka liquid culture made from colonized agar) let you colonize grain even faster. Break up your agar plate, blend it, and shoot that into your grain. Quick, aggressive colonization with little risk.
4. Genetic Storage – Your Own Mushroom Library
Preserve your favorite strains for the long haul. Agar lets you store clones in cold temps for months, even years. Label them, stack them, and keep your genetics tight for the future.
