>placed onto an agar petri dishwhy is agar used? does it have to be agar?
>take a small sample from the first agar plate and transfer it to a new oneWhy is the mycelium from the second agar plate used? Is it to reduce the likelihood of contaminants (fungi/bacteria) getting inoculated into the sterilized substrate alongside the culture? What happens if you inoculate substrate with contaminated cultures? How do you prevent contamination?
>hydrated sawdust and wheat bran. The mushrooms grow from these bags.Does this mean the whole process can be repeated by taking small pieces of mushroom from the new grown mushrooms & regrowing the mycelium in agar again
