Potato dextrose agar is a versatile growing medium for bacteria and fungi (yeasts and molds). This agar is used for a broad range of fungi but there are other agars that are more selective for specific types of fungi. These agars include but are not limited to malt extract agar and

is added such that the total volume of the suspension is 1 litre (0.22 imp gal; 0.26 US gal). 20 grams (0.71 oz) dextrose and 20 grams (0.71 oz) agar powder is then added and the medium is sterilized by

Potato infusion can be made by boiling 200 grams (7.1 oz) of sliced (washed but unpeeled) potatoes in ~ 1 litre (0.22 imp gal; 0.26 US gal) distilled water for 30 minutes and then
