Contam or Mycellium?
    #22148386 - 08/26/15 07:17 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

This is my first time growing mushrooms and after spending about 50 hours of research and collecting equipment I decided to start from agar dishes.  These are the pics after about 3 days.  I was wondering if that is mycellium growing or some kind of yeast?  I do make my own beer and wine but all the yeast and equipment is separated from my mushroom area.  I don't know whether to cut out a piece and transfer to a fresh agar dish or just wait a bit longer?

Your situation will be tricky...

When I worked in a lab, my housemate was making beer all the time.
I wasn't in contact with it, but yeast infections started sprouting up in our cell cultures at work... The smell of our incubators were awful even after multiple extensive cleanings.

I moved out and the yeast infection moved out of the lab.

Keep it extremely clean man.  Shower beforehand is a must or at least it was for me.

Keep the culturing of yeast far away from your agar plates and media.:tunnel:  I know you may use the same kitchen so this may be hard, but you gotta find a way!!!

Good Luck!

Yeah don't do myco work in an open kitchen. Neither a sab or a flow hood should be done in that. Sab is actually better in a small bedroom or room with the door closed and vents off to make the room still. And a flow hood needs the surface you work on at least not the place you eat on.. :lol:

I know you use a glove box. I didn't say glove box lol. A still air box in an open area like a kitchen isn't good
