You only need to PC agar for a  max of 30 min. You carmelized the agar, it should be ok, but do agar separate from your grains.

Any idea what I should be looking for when it comes to contams? And if I see any what would be the appropriate course of action?

alright I did a run of MEA (agar powder) and green food coloring.

a few questions

is it common to see a lot of white "fuzz" on top because there's more room to expand in minirounds compared to regular plates? I'm also wondering if this yellowing is the myc mixing with the tan-ish powder of the malt extract and agar, as this is happening to most of my dishes. I was curious and opened one up and dragged all of the fuzz, it collected a deep blue and when I was breaking it up I definitely caught a whiff of myc.

here are some pics of what I'm talking about



suspect fuzz apparent



can see the yellowing I'm referring to in the middle there



but behind good light this looks pretty healthy. thoughts?

edit

man uploading really degrades quality of photos. oh well.

that's probably my cleanest "plate". all from MS. if I can confirm this I'll use to kickstart some g2g jars

how long should I let the plates grow for?

Is this ok? The food coloring turned from blue to yellow in a week. I accidentally squirted to much. The needle was clogged. It's Ms PE. I let it roll around in the jar too to spread it. Is it myc or trich?

It is probably a mixture of mold and cubensis mycelium if you havent made any transfers yet.  Make a few transfers from the healthiest looking spots unless the entire plate is mold. Transfer sooner next time so you can catch any irregular growth quickly before it meshes with the myc

I done transfers yesterday. I made two plates when I done the Ms to agar. They both turned out like this. So hopefully I didn't just transfer mold. I will post pics of the transfers in a couple days.

pardon me if this is a stupid question but you say you use "2 Heaping Tablespoons" to get the 2.5(isn) grams of agar you need for this recipe but then go on to mention that if you want to weigh it out 1 TSP is 2.5 grams.  am i missing something or are those measurements off?

Heaping tablespoons is if you’re grinding agar bars in a coffee grinder and 1 tsp is for powdered agar. I should maybe revise that section later.

Hey guys. I didn't want to make an entire thread for this but is it okay if the micropore tape is wet when inoculated or when ran through the pressure cooker?

I did my first three plates using a multspore syringe with small ball jars following this tek and was wondering if i should be conscious of consequences.

Use a paper towel and foil. Use 3 lids to elevate the trivet.

So you are saying it is best to elevate them as high as possible?
Mine didn't have a trivet but I made one by drilling holes into a small pan and removing the plastic handle.
