Agar contam!
    #22298014 - 09/27/15 11:23 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I recieved these agar plates in the mail from a friend, and I was wondering if these are still salvageable. They have been refrigerated and all. I have no experience working with agar. It's my first try. Thank you for your help everyone.

Hard to tell through the label but it looks like there are areas you could transfer from to clean it up. According to what I've seen about contaminated agar in RR'S vids though, you'll probably want to do it outside in a garbage bag though so you don't get green spores everywhere

Of course, I also have no idea what lions mane is supposed to look like on agar either, so there's that.  :smile:

That's one of the benefits of agar though, that you can transfer away from contams and get a clean sample.

Thanks for the input, guys. I was hoping I could just transfer enough for 5-6 plates.maybe less, because they are 3 sectioned plates, and I might be able to salvage the myc. The myc is strong, and thick, so I'm just hoping with this one.

Indeed, it does. Lol I'm going to conquer it! I've never grown Lions mane, anyhow. I've only familiarized myself with cubes, so this grow is entirely New to me. Which it's exciting a hell. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks, everyone. I greatly appreciate it. I'll post on my transfers and let you know what happens.
