Alright, that would suck if they were contaminated, I was just gonna get them growing in a few days.

awesome news on ur reishi! seems like out of the 4 cultures i got, that is the only one not showing growth on grain or agar. i just e mailed the vendor... weird that the other 3 are growing like crazy. i can see the culture sitting on top of the agar when i hold it up to light, its just not doing anything tho!
it was below freezing when i got them, and it was sitting right inside the door of my apt, street level for who knows how long...weird reishi the only one that died.

I was sent a culture that maybe already was an isolate, I put a wedge from that onto three new dishes just so I would have material to inoculate with.
these were made 1/21/14

I ran out of agar on the last plate so that's why it looks weird. I figured it wasn't worth scrapping since agar is covering 90% of the dish's bottom.

I hope for the best, I can send you some if things don't go well. I have some polystyrine dishes I could make a dish for you and mail it. Send me a PM. I'll post a picture of the grain jar in a day or two I just shook it yesterday and it's already recovering but not well enough for a picture.

Regardless, I apologize. I'm glad the reishi is going good for you! I've almost got a ziplock container full of fuel pellets and wbs fully colonized by them. I'll let you know when I see some antlers!

so (for this grow/thread) i did 3 more wedges of the KSSS on plate 5 (4 transfer away from spore plate) which brings me to 2 plates/ 6 wedges that are 4 transfers away from spore (i transferred the other three wedges 2 days ago). I'm really hoping at least one of these will b a mono culture or at least have growth obvious enough to take from to produce it. also transferred 6 wedges from plate 3 of creeper to two plates. and bodhi u were right, growth got thicker on this one (3rd plate). one of the plates cracked as i wrapped it with parafilm, so i quickly wrapped that up with glad. hopefully that will work, but if not i got more plates.
as a last ditch effort, i did up one more plate of that possibly dead reishi lc, as well as one more grain jar from it, and i used a shit ton of LC for that jar. i don't even care if it messed up moisture content (don't think it will, it wasn't that much), i just wanna know the lc is alive!
now off to the job!

(I feel like I stole this from Cronicr)
Sgt. Cant wait to see the antlers. I'm going to go for antlers my first time I think and then try conks later. I'm still not positive on my method, do a brick and hope for antlers do a bag in-vitro with filter patch or something along those lines.
good to hear BL(blindingleaf) I'm sure all will turn out well, don't let the small mishaps get you down, a good clear mind is also part of the grow

the b+ I would go from anywhere but probably the 6-8oclock area. The creeper does have some black mold or something I bet you can isolate away the other growth looks good, put it on a new dish and time will tell.

Awesome, how do you get the reishi mushrooms to make antlers or conks? I always thought it was just random. Do they form antlers from the top and conks from the side? Either way, they look cool as hell!

yep so in a monotub or flat surface they'll antler, some of it has to do with co2 concentration though. Seems like a good way to get a conk is to spawn in a bag and then cut a hole in the side.

Oh cool! I think I'll probably get antlers off of my pp5 container then. But the brick in my greenhouse should probably get conks. I'm excited! Reishi looks sooo cool!
