This is the first I've heard of charcoal being added to agar. What is the benefit?

You know what helps with contams? Sterile procedures . I actually someimes make my agar a little bit nutritious (more ideal for contams) on purpose so I can see how good my sterile procedures are. If there's no contams... which there rarely is, I have even more security than I would using something to fight/mask them.
Who was it that sent me a print from Florida again? I got it! what variety is it again? My memories good it's just short

yeah! Start making agar! Honestly you can just pour, wait for an hour or 2, and put spores on it. Inoculation with agars always so quick and easy

Yeah, it's not a huge deal, but I have a bunch of other transfers to do too.
I've been working on some PEU isolates for like a month or two now. they just won't stop sectoring 
I got fed up and threw some on grains the other day since im down to about 2-3 strains per plate, but I'd like to have some true isolates for slants 
Maybe I'll try my hand at some of the exotics I haven't touched.
you can fruit pans in trays in a mono right? I swear I've seen that somewhere around

I will be bowing out for this one I think. My fruits I didn't swab haven't even pinned yet so I won't be doing those. The main focus of my myco interest right now is going to be getting its 5th transfer tonight and I must give it my attention going forward. Got some nicely limited genetics that are demanding my attention.
But I will be following anyone who does participate with interest
