How are you such a noob if you've been here since 07 LC?
Ok, prove me wrong.
Show me a proven potent strain of mycelium that has fluffy, wispy, cotton-ish mycelium.

 pans the growth has fuck all to do with potency it has to do with nutrition, it can go from tomentose to rhizzo with a simple recipe change

Interesting...
So the food is what determines the type of mycelium growth, not the aggressive/fitness of the strain.
i was under the impression that aggressive or fit strains growth thick rhizzo mycelium which are the most potent (because they are most aggressive at colonizing a substrate).
Thanks for the explaination cronicr.

yep more nutes will make it go tomentose while less will make it go rhizzo

 See this tub? I lost the photo of the culture plate but it was veryy aggressive, awesome looking culture. Looked freaking amazing. And the tub grew out pretty strong too.
But not potent. Pretty dissapointing actually haha.
JUst goes to show you that you need to test each and every culture out, regardless of how it looks. You might have a super fast growing isolate that puts out a crazy yeild but if it isnt potent its pretty worthless IMO

Heyo again, I'm glad my thread helped you guys clear doubts, the more you know.
So I'm back with some (hopefully decent but of smartphone-shitty quality) of the incriminated plate. Still, I don't see any of the radial patterns of mycelium seen in the other threads/pictures, but as it seems this one's totmentose rather than rhizomorphic so that's the reason, is that right?
Here are the pictures:
 [I realize the camera picks up the reflection/glare of the plate and the focus on the agar is gone.]
I also come with another question. Is it possible tha mycelium appears as a film inside a jar of liquid culture? I suspect that is just a film of honey which solidified on the walls of the jar while I was PCing, as it slid off as I was gently swirling the jar and is now floating around happily. But if it was honey, would it not be dissolved? I'd appreciate any input.

Fuck. You mean the white fluff is not mycelium or that the growth pattern is weird?
I came back to post this that I found googling around
 The top picture looks similar to my plate. Still, I have no real experience with agar so I might be very wrong.

Just all of it lol. The white growths might actually be the mycelium. Just the reaction to the (what looks like) grey shit all around it.

The grey shit is yellow agar but the pics came out shitty as always. You can see for reference the OP.

You need to read through this: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22020260
the moral is that if it isn't organized, don't trust it. Honestly I wasn't there the whole time that grew, so I can't say for sure. But if it was with my other dishes right now, it wouldn't be for long.
For initial transfers, don't let it grow out too much.
like at this point. If not even sooner.

That a good thread, thank you. So your suggestion is I transfer the mycelium to a new plate? It does not look like contaminated anymore?

Try it out. If you can get it organized, then . I've seen crazier things done with agar.
Besides it almost looks like there's knotting. If you get a pin you most definitely should cut it out and transfer the pin
