I am learning slowly the whole process of shroom growing through TH-cam videos and Google. No matter what others say about the tube and google they are the best teachers I ever had
I'm so happy to find this channel! Clear, simple, nothing overly fancy, just what works well and gives the results we want. I would so love to see your take on how to approach growing wood lovers such as Azies. I haven't seen anyone on YT do that in a clear way and with your style of presentation, experience and way of thinking it would such a dream.
Brother you have the most iconic voice for video lectures,, keep it simple brother, thats the key to life , you know I have tried several several different Agar techs, no God damn success , until I used your recipe, now was it luck on my part did I do something wrong the other times, who knows all I know is thank you thank you for the videos , Agar has been my nemesis.. but not now, I got that Girl in the palm.of my hand
Literally just binged all the videos on your channel. I never realised how little it takes to actually start growing before all this. I thought the process was a lot more convoluted. I'm for sure going to try my first ever grow as soon as I can afford to buy some of the stuff I need to get going. Just recently lost my job, so as soon as I found a new job I know what my first paycheck is going on :D
it doesnt cost that much, if you know exactly what you are doing. these videos are simple, and show everything going right, but microbiology is extremely hard to do well. just like baking. baking a basic, low grade cake is not hard, you might get a solid cake, might burn it, chances are it will be edible or hard. making a good cake is very hard. same w this. most new growers get contamination over and over and quit. the learning curve in this is extremely steep do a LOT of research.
Another great instructional video. I loved the bedtime story. 😂 I just started working with agar this week, using your videos as my main instruction. I made my first batch of agar and was setting up six jelly jars to inoculate with a spore syringe. Then I remembered that I had taken a spore print from my first flush, so I added a seventh. I took a look at the jars yesterday. Nothing yet in the syringe jars, but the spore print jar had some pretty white mycelium starting! Took another look this morning and, Oh No! There is a brown spot in the spore print jar. But wait. PGT also taught me how to clean up a culture with transfers. I’ll be starting another batch of agar shortly. 😊 Thanks, Sensei! 👍
@mmpatriot2170 - Which kind of agar did you use? Is it called nutrient agar or something else? I have some agar powder but I'm not sure it's the correct type of agar. Cheers 👍
Just recently decided to learn more about this stage of mushrooms. I am doing an experiment to see how many different types of mycelium I can get to grow. Thanks for the info friend.
Dear PGT, I love your content. Your calmness makes it easy to listen to you and we can tell you’re excited to explain! I was hoping you could make a video about the different substrates and what the pros and cons are.. I heard you can use the following: Whole Brown Rice, Coco coir Vermiculite. Wood I heard every kind of substrate has different properties like longer flushes etc, maybe you can enlighten us about the details? I really hope you’re excited about this idea!!
Of all the mycology content on youtube, yours is the best. This video answered several of my questions, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much
Willy Myco's content is technically better and so is Let's Grow Mushrooms (aka Roger Rabbit he is who these guys learned from the real OG). that said, go on the shroomery and learn from "Trusted Cultivators" there are a LOT of very very good growers internationally
Dude Philly I need advice. I followed your videos on the broke tek. Brown rice in a still air box cultivated as showed in your video. Put 3 quarts fully cultivated in a 28 quart sterilite tub. Let it do more growing for 12 days before flipping the lid. I have mushrooms 😀, but all growing around the edge not on top of the grow medium. I did do the trash bag lining you recommended also. I'm guessing that I flipped the lid to soon and didn't give enough time to fully fill out the larger 28 quart tub. I wish I could send pics on here. I also live in the mountains of AZ. very dry climate i had to spray daily to keep medium not bone dry. Thanks for any advice.
so amazing, great video! great calm presentation methods, great clear explanation! THANK YOU lets pray you stay on youtube, just dont mention the key words youtube hates. in the next video would love to hear what you consider good myolisal growth worth transferring :)
I really cant wait for the next part of this. I put some spring agrocybe spores on some agar just this past sunday. Im hoping they will be ready for a transfer by this weekend
Man, thank you so much for making these videos! Super helpful and enjoyable to watch. I've learned a lot already and excited to try your CVG recipe too!
This was great man. I just ordered some pre made agar plates. I have a ton of GT prints myself. I like how you use what looks like a condiment cup for your agar.
Thank you Philly, you've gotten me to jump into this. I've watched each video several times now and can't wait for future videos! You are by far the easiest to follow for us who don't have all the fancy equipment. I have a question.. I got a really old school Revere pressure cooker, seems to work great as one too. However it won't fit my jars standing up. I plan to invest in a bigger one later, but is it okay to lay my jars sideways to sterilize?
I’ve heard of people stacking their jars on top of other jars sideways. If you can rubber band aluminum foil over the lid to keep the moisture from getting back in the jars it should be fine
Hi Philly, enjoyed the vid, i put some spores in agar like a week ago and i keep it at 28-30 degrees C, but still no growth, nothing, i did soke the petri dishes in isopropyl beforehand, and had to wipe to condensation away from the lid a few times, but it seems tp have evaporated, do you think i blewit with that?
Could you please make a video on how to identify healthy my cell Liam and contaminants I don't know how to isolate from my agar plate to get good specimens please help
Love the videos mans, keep up the videos. I was wondering if you could make a video or make tips on how to deal with different types of mold growing in the fruiting stage and how to deal with it so I don't have to be throwing out the whole thing every time. Thank you
I'm no expert, I'm new to this, but wouldn't it be better to streak the plate with a sterilised swab or an inoculation loop? Wouldn't that speed up plate colonisation because the spores are spread out on the surface of the agar. Also, if you scrap the spores of the print like you have done and they land in the one spot and start growing, won't it be harder to isolated the healthy mycelium away from contamination if contamination happens to grow in close proximity to your mycelium? What do you think Philly?
This might be the solution to my syringe issue. I constantly get a wet almost jelly like substance when using syringes on agar, hasn’t always been that way but this looks promising 👌🏻
Hi I'm am in the stage to spuirt the spore syringe into the agar. I see so much talk a out parafilm. I don't get it should the container breed or be airtight? I obviously your method is absent of parafilm. What am I missing?
Philly golden teacher.. can you tell me how long it takes for mycelium to grow from a print? On Agar of course. Also what agar recipe for works best for Panaeolus Cyanescens
I appreciate that your videos get straight to the point. I find it difficult to listen to people that bullshit and talk too much.
Thankyou.
Oh well Willy is your guy for straight to the point...
@@thecommonsenseconservative5576 hahaha😅
@@thecommonsenseconservative5576 15 minutes into one of Willy's videos, I was like "Just tell me the goddam recipe for activated carbon agar already"!
I totally agree with you. His videos are wicked good to learn from.
SAME!
Instead of listening to music while I drive I listen to you. You got that “and now for your favorite jazzzzzz” vibes
Glad it’s not just me, I like to re-listen to videos while going to bed!
PGT could easily be a hypnotherapist doing mushroom therapy.
Losers
Honestly.Very oddly soothing hearing him explain stuff?lol
His memes are on point too. Pretty rare something educational legitimately makes me laugh.
"...that jawn will start colonizing pretty quickly."
Certified Philly right there!

These videos are getting better and better
the bedtime story was priceless, the drawings, the soothing music, and the low-pitched voice were a perfect combination
Just recently decided to learn more about this stage of mushrooms. I am doing an experiment to see how many different types of mycelium I can get to grow. Thanks for the info friend.
Fruiting my second round of 3 tubs Today.Now I need to learn AGAR.Thanks Dude, Your the best
Dear PGT,
I love your content. Your calmness makes it easy to listen to you and we can tell you’re excited to explain!
I was hoping you could make a video about the different substrates and what the pros and cons are..
I heard you can use the following:
Whole Brown Rice,
Coco coir
Vermiculite.
Wood
I heard every kind of substrate has different properties like longer flushes etc, maybe you can enlighten us about the details? I really hope you’re excited about this idea!!
I love this guy! Super humble, super knowledgable and a GREAT teacher!!

beautiful results! Im very glad results were added as well! Looks like agar is really the only way to deal with spores.
I was literally about to reach out to u this week about this exact subject . And u go and make a video , u sneaky bastard . Thank u
WORLDS BEST MUSHROOM CHANNEL! PERIOD. MAN YOU ARE DESERVE ALL GOOD IN LIFE
This is BY FAR the BEST GROWING CHANNEL EVER. I LOVE YOU PA GOLDEN TEACHER
willy is the original, Roger Rabbit orgininal original dont get it twisted....
Dayum Philly!... back at it again with another helpful and easy to follow guide!
Congrats on the 30k milestone! Well deserved subs!
Man I can't thank you enough for your tutorials. They're neat and go to the point. Your voice is also calming. Namaste
This is a godamn perfect TH-cam video
Class is in session again!! Woohoo! Thanks for another informative video..
Grew an amazing flush a couple years ago with help from here. Just inoculated some new agar dishes. Can’t wait for 7-10 days ;) thanks 🙏
🙏🍄
I use a bent paper clip to take some spores from the print and put it on agar. A bit of dust on the agar is plenty
Great instructions, thanks. I love the baby pics! 🤣
Congrats on 30k subs my man
YYYYYAAAAAS LET THE GROWING CONTINUE
Happy new year to the Barry White of mycology!
Appreciate all of your videos. Learning a lot. You are a good teacher. Yes, clear, concise, easy to follow.

i’m from the philly burbs and moved down south and i miss jawn. thank you 🙏🏿
You are very informative about everything. Thank you been watching mass amounts of videos and your are truly the best
Your channel grows so fast, congrats!!! You are the best
so amazing, great video! great calm presentation methods, great clear explanation! THANK YOU lets pray you stay on youtube, just dont mention the key words youtube hates.
in the next video would love to hear what you consider good myolisal growth worth transferring :)
I love your videos PGT, I really appreciate the effort you put into it. You can really tell you care dude:)
I really cant wait for the next part of this. I put some spring agrocybe spores on some agar just this past sunday. Im hoping they will be ready for a transfer by this weekend
Great Video Philly! I think would be great before start the next video show us how do you set up your SAB. Cya!
At what temperature I have to store the agar after spored them? And also thx to Philly to make this very easy to understand vids.
I have learned so much from your videos. Keep going!!!!
Haha this is one of the best mycology videos I've seen. Funny and straight to the point, thank you very much.
You’re making really good videos I just love it !!!!
I love the mushroom teacher picture in your intro . you could make them into stickers.
Yeah he could put them on Petri dishes, T shirts, grow bags and mugs as well I'd buy some of that
loved the bedtime story:))
Always awesome too see your notification! Great vid.
your videos soothe my soul
Letsgooooo broooo.
Much love.
thank you so mutch. can´t wait to get my spores!
Good stuff My Man!!!
Great easy to understand video. Great work sharing your skills.
best channel yet!!! qwik and to the point.
U ever used garlic in your agar mix? Ive had amazi g results with no bacteria or touching up needed. Organic antibacterial
I'm intrigued. Honey is supposed to have antibacterial properties as well... honey and garlic agar? That might be an interesting experiment.
@@normalsaline8913 the garlic has only contam 1 time ever yet. Im gonna have to look into the honey. Thanks brother. Mush luv
Thanks for this. Best agar video I've found
Glad it helps! 🙏🍄
Man, thank you so much for making these videos! Super helpful and enjoyable to watch. I've learned a lot already and excited to try your CVG recipe too!
If contamination like @6:20 happens, could I scrape the mycelium at the furthest point and transfer to another dish? 🤔curious.
i just woke up 3 hrs later from that beautiful bedtime story
Lol ur the only account I'm going to have post notifs for :)
This was great man. I just ordered some pre made agar plates. I have a ton of GT prints myself. I like how you use what looks like a condiment cup for your agar.
Nice! Yeah the condiment cups work well, cost-effective 🙏🍄
Thank you Philly, you've gotten me to jump into this. I've watched each video several times now and can't wait for future videos! You are by far the easiest to follow for us who don't have all the fancy equipment.

Do an experiment with the difference between having air exchange and not having/limited air exchange.
Just wanna say I mess with your channel heavy bro 💯💯💯
Thanks, this helps me gain some understanding for the future.
Hi Philly, enjoyed the vid, i put some spores in agar like a week ago and i keep it at 28-30 degrees C, but still no growth, nothing, i did soke the petri dishes in isopropyl beforehand, and had to wipe to condensation away from the lid a few times, but it seems tp have evaporated, do you think i blewit with that?
I know this is old but did you wait for the iso to evaporate? Isopropyl alcohol can kill spores if it was still unevaporated.
Love the explanation
First time viewer, great video! Subscribed 👍
thumbs up for the safety is our number one priority, I miss watching your awesome videos. back after a year, rejoined discord too :D
Could you please make a video on how to identify healthy my cell Liam and contaminants I don't know how to isolate from my agar plate to get good specimens please help
Only 30k subs? You deserve Way more!
wow... only 1 downvote out of 1K views is nice. The 1 downvote is from a mushroom that doesn't want to be pimped.. lol
After we put the spores inside the agar where should we put them what room temperature? Dark or light? Thanks a lot for your video! 🙏🏼
Yeah I also want to know this
Love the videos mans, keep up the videos. I was wondering if you could make a video or make tips on how to deal with different types of mold growing in the fruiting stage and how to deal with it so I don't have to be throwing out the whole thing every time. Thank you
looking forward to your next vid!!
Great video! When are you uploading the second part from agar?
I subscribed after that bed time story...lmfao
Mint video dude
Cheers from Australia
Im learning so so much from you! Thank you
Think you could ever explain how to get a monoculture? Love your videos brother
Thank you so much for the content, you have helped me so much! Love your videos
I'm no expert, I'm new to this, but wouldn't it be better to streak the plate with a sterilised swab or an inoculation loop?

What do you think Philly?
And for my next trick - damn, steady hands are required lol. Ive learned so much these last few months, Thank you!!
Where do you store your agar plates when they’re feeding the mycelium? Is it hot or cold?
Room temp
This might be the solution to my syringe issue. I constantly get a wet almost jelly like substance when using syringes on agar, hasn’t always been that way but this looks promising 👌🏻
Can you make a video on cloning a fruit to grew more with its specific genes?
Willy has a 22 minute video on it.. with about 1 minute of relevant but useless information
I wonder if you could use the 250 degree oven method you used pouring the agar instead of the sab?
Hello Philly! Can you tell for how long you can conserve a colonized agar and what are the ideal conditions to conserve it?
Really enjoy watching your vids man, very clean editing and crystal clear info. If you’re ever interested in doing a collab I’m all for it!
Bro you are dope.
Great video. What is your agar recipe?
th-cam.com/video/7pqJxFpsE84/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the great videos sensei
Hi I'm am in the stage to spuirt the spore syringe into the agar. I see so much talk a out parafilm. I don't get it should the container breed or be airtight? I obviously your method is absent of parafilm. What am I missing?
You can use saran wrap or micropore tape in place of parafilm. It's to keep the lid shut on the Petri dishes.
Love the xfiles logo in the beginning lol😅
I love your videos! I have a question. What temperature is best for spores to start making mycelium?
Was waiting for it 🤗🤗
Where and on what temperature do you store colonized agar and for how long can it be stored ??
Philly golden teacher.. can you tell me how long it takes for mycelium to grow from a print? On Agar of course. Also what agar recipe for works best for Panaeolus Cyanescens
Can you do this with a spore syringe instead of a spore print?
4:23 When you already did this. Do they need light to grow? Or darkness? What temperature?
@Micheal Flores thanks
