Contaminated agar.
    #22499132 - 11/09/15 06:29 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hello shroomery!

I'm in the process of intentionally enabling contamination and nursing what ever gets on my agar. Counter productive as it may seem, I'm starting my mycology voyage by studying the bad guys. I've poured my first containers of agar and after three days I'm happy to see recognizable bacterial growth on some. But! I also have something growing which doesn't resemble anything I've seen on pics before. Thought maybe you have some ideas (see pics at end of post) on what it could be. Lighting conditions are as are. Tried my best. On visual inspection it appears white with no discoloration in any parts. Also, it seems to expand only on the surface and does not penetrate the agar.

Hope you're doing this in a separate building to your planned grows, as your spore load will be increasing every day most likely.

Yes, these little experiments are carried out at a different location from the growing environment which is under construction and awaiting for apparatus for the time being. Hence I'm taking the time meanwhile to play around with some ideas I've gathered.
