Strange Growth in Dish

So I have a dish that exhibits a strange growth. Lokk between the B and the P11 in the oicture. I also have had jars with the same strange shit in the past. I suspect that it is X contaminate. I don't want to say what I think it is because I don't want people to read this thread and be like.... " Oh he thinks this is X, I think it is X too." What is this shit in this dish?

It is growing up to the top of the dish.

Is it just a fruit body?
What strain is it? It looks like it is knotting and starting to form mushrooms in other places also.

Well ya that is what I thought it was too. It looks like a big fat stipe trying to grow in a dish. It is a Treasure Coast strain. There are a bunch of knots forming on the dish. I have stopped using this exact culture because I was having such a hard time isolating a true clean culture. Everything I had kept coming back dirty and contaminated. I have saved all my old cultures because I have the space and, hell why not save them. I am just trying to figure out of this was a full on shroom trying to grow in the dish or if it was just a weird contamination.

From what people say, that much knotting on agar is a good sign? I would dig that puppy up and get it into some seed lol

Take one more xfer, let it grow out a bit, then store it in the fridge. I like using baby food jars for longer fridge storage. They keep for quite a few months without drying out.

Good to know. I've been wondering about storing strains without slants. Thank you.

discountvials.com has killer culture tubes for cheap. I suggest 150mmx20mm.
