For those interested, here’s the recipe:
Agar Plate Recipe
14 g malted barley extract
14 g agar
750 mL distilled water
Mix thoroughly, sterilize at 15 PSI for 35 minutes, cool, then pour at 60°C / 140°F. I let mine dry in front of the flow hood for 6–8 hours before bagging up. Store at room temperature.
Liquid Culture Recipe #1
600 mL distilled water
1.2 g malted barley extract
1 g peptone
10 mL corn syrup
Stir bar in a 1 quart jar
Mix thoroughly, then sterilize at 15 PSI for 30–35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before inoculating. Using 1/4 to 1/2 of an agar plate will normally colonize the jar within a few weeks depending on culture strength and temperature.

Ancient wisdom teaches that before correcting others, we should first examine ourselves.
“The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.” * Proverbs 10:14
Everyone has an opinion. Very few are willing to put in the years of work, failures, experimentation, and sacrifice that true understanding requires.

Humans have been killing each other since the beginning of recorded history. Sumerians wrote about war. Egyptians wrote about war. The Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, the Greeks, the Vikings, all understood the same hard truth: there has always been conflict.
“Nation will rise against nation.” * Matthew 24:7
“There is a time for war and a time for peace.” * Ecclesiastes 3:8
Even Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita stood on the battlefield questioning the morality of fighting. The struggle between peace and violence is ancient.
I don’t think any ideology or religion fully erased that part of humanity. People still fight over land, power, greed, resources, and money. Empires rise, empires fall, and ordinary people are usually the ones buried beneath it all.
“The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” * 1 Timothy 6:10
But ancient texts also warn about something else: what happens to people when they become consumed by the very thing they’re fighting against.
“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.” * Nietzsche
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” * Romans 12:21
“The best fighter is never angry.” * Tao Te Ching
Peace without strength gets walked over. Strength without love becomes tyranny.
That balance is probably the hardest part of being human.
This MEMORIAL DAY
In order to have peace, we must have love. In order to have love, we must have anarchy. Some people must die in order to make way for love to allow peace. Remember the ones who fell fighting what they believed was evil. Peace, Love, and Anarchy.

This is a look at a spore plate that has been germinated on agar and then transferred out as the culture continued to develop.
What some people mistake as mold or contamination is actually healthy mushroom mycelium expressing different stages of growth. The softer, fluffy sections are more tomentose/monokaryotic-looking growth, while the ropey, feathered strands reaching outward are rhizomorphic hyphae developing from stronger dikaryotic sectors after compatible spores fused together.
As the culture matures, the mycelium begins organizing itself into more aggressive rhizomorphic growth patterns, creating these beautiful rope-like structures spreading across the agar surface.
The bright white, connected growth and natural outward expansion from the germination points are signs of healthy development on the plate — not contamination.
This is one of the reasons agar work is so important. It allows you to observe growth patterns, clean up cultures through transfers, and select strong healthy sectors before moving forward into liquid culture or grains.

A question that comes up a lot…… How I would recommend getting started in mycology?
The lifecycle of the mushroom in my environment is:
spores or clone → agar → liquid culture → grains → substrate → fruiting.
Understanding these stages is a good place to start.
Focus and master clean technique early. Cleanliness, patience, and consistency matter more than fancy equipment in the beginning.
At Tanasi Gardens and Sacred Three Mushrooms, I make everything myself that is part of the process for each stage. This allows me to maintain quality control and consistency with the products and cultures used inside the lab.
Learning how to make your own supplies will save you time and money in the future. If you are not able to make everything at first, make sure you outsource from quality companies with a good reputation.
When I really started diving deep into agar work and cultures, my skills improved dramatically after investing in a flowhood. A flowhood will likely be your biggest investment, but it is also one of the most important pieces of equipment in the lab.
