Where to grab from

I am attempting to isolate clean myc from a horrid contam. I will let the community tell me where to pull from 
And this is likely the contam that I'm running from
I can't tell what is what anymore
So please if you're unsure leave it be.
For reference this is what it looks like meshed with mushroom myc

in that bottom pic, 4-8 oclock looks okay and a piece at 9 oclock. get yourself 2 different paths to take.
Take a smallpiece as I know you've been trying to get ahead of these contams for a while.
I can't see shit in your first 2 photos. its focused on the dish, not the mycelium.

The third dish isn't in play.
I can't get a better pic sadly as my phone either will focus on the dish or the light source. The myc is still very thin

cant see the first picture clearly. from what I can see of the second picture, the top half of the petri looks good from 11-1.
the bottom looks like it has that bacterial halo around the entire culture... maybe just thin wispy mycelium like you said

good luck, make a bunch of cultures from grabs around the entirety of growth. see what happens. 1-3 o'clock, 6, 9, and 10 o'clock look like they've separated a bit into strong/clean growth in the bottom half of the petri

1st two plates look good, 3rd is shot, 4th is ok. The clear growth you're seeing is cube myc.

Nope. I learned that over the winter. I isolated it over a few months and actually came out with a banging isolate I dubbed the invisible woman..
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20930437
Transfer it a few times & see for yourself 
I stopped seeing it when I started using a little less agar mix (I use pre-mixed powder, so less nutrient) in my recipe.

Odd. I still don't trust it considering the similar appearance of what I'm running from.
And this is on half strength nutrient plates. Hoping to get rhizo growth more readily.

Here is the best advice I have been given about shit like what you're going thru...
Quote:
The shroomy 1 said: I've never seen it in any of my plates, but If I were you I would Isolate it and grow it out on it's own plate. Grow it out and study it. If and when it colonizes a plate, then transfer it to it's own jar of grain. See how it grows and notate all of it's characteristics. Get to know your enemy. That is how you become knowledgeable in this field.
That guy is an old hand & a grower I respect!
Also you might be seeing it by using lower nutrient as the myc is spreading itself so thin like that.
One thing I didn't mention in that thread was at the time I was using that stupid agar slurry tek a lot, and I'm pretty sure that's where my contams were coming from. Other growers that I trust do not endorse that technique either

I did isolate it. Third plate is it by itself. It it clearly distinguished alone.

I did not however put it alone into grains.
