I just started 2 cultures last night. And forgot to label both of them. And they are one of many species. So i need a well educated opinion here.
One is bright white and one is brown almost black even.
One is an enoki and one is a yellow morel. Anyone know which one would be which? Id put pics up but dont feel it would help much. But will post if asked.

Cultures as in liquid cultures? Whatever the culture, one day to see much color at all could mean your seeing contams. idk. Pics will definitely help though.

the brown almost black one is the morel. enoki myc is pure white.

Forgetting to label happens to everyone. We have a graveyard of sorts of various slants, plates, jars of unlabeled shit. Devise a system that limits this. WE KEEP industrial sharpies chained to the shelves in the lab so they are availabe at all times.

and grease (wax?) pencils help because they aren't dissolved by the alcohol when sanitizing.

Sorry they were live cultures. Mycelium isnt even formed much yet i just did them yesterday. I figured I could just ask cause then anyone who knew what a live culture of each should look like could tell me easily.

The colors you describe could be the color of the agar or liquid medium

Let them grow out to eliminate any LC differences. But as Amanita said the morel will tend to get dark and the enoki will be pure white. The morel should outgrow the enoki too. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't half way across your plate in two days (I am assuming that when you say jars you mean agar jars).
