My compost pile! It's aged horse manure grass clippings and some cardboard and sprayed with soda beer and ammonia to get the process started

I plan on inoculating with hopefully a good strain

This is where I'm doing the agar work. Just on a shelf UP in the corner of my room

Looks like a powerful piece of myc in there.

Here is another shot of the pile (day5) I turned it today and inserted a metal pipe for ventilation.
The core was insanely hot and shooting off crazy steam.
Here is one of the horses responsible for the manure.
And the manure pile itself

This is my first attempt with agar and it sure as hell is fun.
Now I'm only wondering what do I transfer from these? When do I stop? Are these good enough?

I and J had a nasty contam that smells like sulfur. However it has really nice looking strains so I isolated some.
What do you guys think?

Honestly at this point there is no way to tell which plates or sectors will preform well or even fruit. just transfer as many sectors as you can.

Next time take your transfers from the leading edge. Also if you are going for an isolate. You should be taking smaller transfers from only one sector.

it all looks so damn the same there s no really telling them apart. I'm going for those main intersections now I want to see how each intersection does independently. IN a sense magnifying those areas as to see what's going on in there right?

This is a concept SGFC I designed so that the tub can actually house a hefty bulk substrate as you would have in a mono tub while still providing the air circulation and humidity effects of a SGFC

 The tub itself will house the substrate

I installed an old tub in the lid to give the mushrooms head way

And a perlite tray to house 5-6 inches of perlite, thus allowing maximum room for the substrate.

I understand what you are trying to do but if you are going for an isolate as the title of this thread suggests. You are going about it the wrong way. You should always transfer from the leading edge. This gives you the best chance of getting a single set of genetics. It is also the freshest growth and since its right next to the un-colonised agar you can be pretty confident there are no hidden contams present there. The only time I take wedges from the middle of a plate is when I'm trying to keep the genetics more varied.

Exactly I'm keeping it varied for now. Than isolate the leading edge let's say next plate?

Finished the SGFC. This is a two tier mono tub sgfc hybrid. It incorporates a lot of bs lol the only reason for such an invention because it is way too damn lizard dick dry here and I really enjoy humidity via perlite air induction.
It starts off with the perlite catch tray. It's 5 1/2 inch sterlite box drilled 1/4 hole 2 inch on all 5 sides.
 I lined it with a breathable gardeners weed blocker screen. (This way the perlite can breathe and not block the 1/4 holes and still drain water too)
 I nigga rig a shelf so the fruit chamber will sit directly on top of the perlite tray

 The reason is I cut the bottom out of the fruiting tub and also cut the lid out to give maximum room in the tub for substrates.
I installed a bottom shelf of some grate and a second shelf. Lol

I plan on fruiting individual isolated Poo cakes In here than eventually a huge block of penis envy.

yes ofcourse the sgfc will sit off the ground. It will be next to a cracked open window too 
The purpose of the perlite tray is so that way I can run it to the bathroom and spray it with the shower head and drain properly than return it to under the chamber allowing maximum room for the perlite humidifyimg abilities.
