Make your own syringes from prints.

ensures that you have clean inncoulate.
IME, MS syringes are so random whether it be contams or performance
with agar transfers you know your starting clean and can rule out that step for the most part if anything goes wrong with your jars during colonization

I used syringes up until I started using agar. I tried to make an agar dish from the syringe but ended up tipping it and it didn't stay in the center. I just had bad luck with it. With a spore print you can stick the spores to the center and they wont go anywhere. You can see exactly where the new mycelium is growing from and it helped to weed out contams.
Why agar? If you've got a flow hood give it a try. Once you do it you'll never go back. Working with a live culture is so nice.
You can create the master cultures too and store them in the fridge. Want to start growing that old strain? Just pull the slant out, inoculate a few dishes and you're ready to go with live cultures a few days later.

I voted syringe, they're easy to work with, and I'm not confident enough to use spore prints yet. Soon as I get agar down ill be using prints though!

Yea I know but wouldn't it look less suspicious having a spore print mailed to you vs a syringe fill with liquid?

Both...but i only ordered a syringe once, then just traded prints...now I make my own syringes from prints, or just take spores to agar...either one.

Neither..jk
i prefer prints..i also like making my own syringes..a print will last alot longer..there's a bunch more spores to work with.

Are there any guides on here to using the Agar / Spore print method?
It's my first grow, however I did my major microbiology and worked with alot of bacterial cultures + agar.
The spore print idea sounds so much more reliable than syringes and much more precise to someone with my backround experience.

Use the search function at the top of the page. Search for spores on agar and you'll find a lot of discussions.
