Agar to grain transfers are where your cultures really come to life. By moving a clean wedge of mycelium from an agar plate into sterilised grain, you give your culture the nutrients and space it needs to expand rapidly. This step bridges the gap between isolation work and full-scale production, turning a tiny sample into a powerful inoculant for bulk spawn. Done carefully, agar to grain transfers lead to faster colonisation, reduced contamination risk, and stronger flushes in the long run. In this video, we’ll show you exactly how it’s done so you can take your cultures from petri dish to production with confidence.
