Are Agar Plate Tests Worth It? What You Need to Know

In this episode, I break down agar plate mold testing, one of the most popular DIY tools used today. I explain how these tests work, why they're easy to use, and where their limitations matter. We cover why mold growth on a plate is normal, how results can vary widely, and why these tests provide incomplete information about exposure and health risk. If you're relying on DIY testing, this will help you understand what's missing.- - - - -About the Host:This episode is a solo discussion led by John Bohde, co-founder of The Mold Pros.
