Hey all,
Just want a bit of feedback.
Have a jar I am a bit unsure, is it alright?:

It does not look as great as my other jar which has lots of rhizomorphic growth:

Also some Pan Cyan and Tamp myc on agar - not too sure what it should look like so hoping it is alright. Pan Cyan:

Tamp:

Also got a nasty looking contam in one of my agar plates which had some GT spores in them. Any idea WTF it is?


Thanks, Psy

Wow that contam really sticks out in agar. Did you find agar was hard to make and work with? Or could a noob pull it off?

Nah, agar isn't difficult to work with. I would highly recommend anyone new to mushrooms should try and get into Agar ASAP!
Perhaps start off with some pasty plates, then later on try pouring your own agar and see which you prefer.

I bought agar agar and I haven't tried anything yet. Agar agar is intimidating to start. I just got into cakes. What is the easiest agar recipe you would advise or refer. I mean a tek or some kind of basic recipe.

Pastywhytes pasty plates  It calls for potato flakes, water, agar and a drop of honey or karo. Also you pour it into the containers and then sterilize it after pouring so that helps to reduce possible contams a bit.
Anyways, anyone able to provide some feedback with regards to the original post and possible contams?
Thanks

Alright, so jar looks fine - thanks for the reassurance.
How about the Pan Cyan and Tamp myc on agar? Looks rather wispy-ish and thin / light?

Just want to update this thread, here are some more pics I just took. Still looks 100%?


The Pan Cyan looks very wispy and super, super fluffy. Very quick growth too (transferred that wedge on the 22nd (3 days ago).
The tamp is colonizing slowly, although looks more like myc to me. Very different compared to cube myc though.
Thanks once again. Just don't want to waste my time helping out some mold.
