Solution

Agar is usually the medium of choice for the spores. Cultivating mushroom starts with a spore which germinates into hyphae. This process includes,

  • Transfer spores to agar
  • Grow them into mycelium
  • Transfer the mycelium to grain
  • Incubate the spawn
  • Transfer the spawn to the final medium
  • Raise them to adult mushroom stage

    Important Note: In a sterile environment only, mushroom cultivation is possible in agar.
