Hehe god damnit. For some reason my mind intermittently clears and im not a total dumb dumb for a short period. That was the best i cud do on such short intellectual notice.

kirkland mixed nuts plastic jar.  haven't had it cake on me yet and probably had it a year (just started using LME mainly this summer, preferred PDA)

Bonus, kirkland brand mixed nuts are awesome!

i'm not convinced nutrient specificity training is a thing. the assertion being that putting rinse/soak/cook water from the grain you intend to use into the agar media on which you're developing your cultures will somehow force the fungi to take to that grain more readily seems pretty thin. does the organism have to adapt to different grains by producing different enzymes or something? if it was switching between grass and wood, i'd believe it. between oats and rye, i'm doubting it.

however, i am not a smart mofo. i'm just a guy in a suit.

Right. You can temporarily change some growth characteristics of plated myc, and you can select a group of strains that on their own do well on a specific nutrient source, but training the myc to a particular nutrient source is futile.

Actually explains a lot on stuff happening with my cultures atm.

I've really stopped taking pix... but I'll get some comparison pix when I do checks again:  next couple days

One question with absolutely NO punctuation technically... outside of the needed "?"

I think of it more like one source of nutes for too long causes an issue. Like when i eat mushrooms for a week and my stomach starts to produce a bunch of acid to break it down causing indigestion

Like it's good to swap it up. I wonder if it is indeed beneficial. In what way, and to what end.

Would slightly different malt extracts be enough to "change the nutes" for agar? Like a dark beer ME versus a light beer ME?

Yeah, I do that regularly, but I'm more thinking about this:

It's still the same nutes if you change the percentage, right?

I run MEA at 4g agar, 6g LME... don't change much, but I do a LOT of agar... I couldn't tell you if it's any faster or slower...

Yes it is, but sometimes your culture just needs less nutes. That being said all any of us have is a guess. Ove read some people refer to their cultures getting lazy... That's likely not what's happening but people look for the best explaination :shrug:

Seems like too much or too little either way will cause them to slow... but therein lies the operative: "seems like"

Exactly, none of us know because each culture is different and diverse. Maybe verum, master of the isolates can lend a thought

The first ever agar I made I completely winged it. I bought agar then looked up a recipe and was like "I don't have any of that shit..." so I boiled some potatoes for a half hour and used that water + molasses + agar :rofl:

It totally worked too, but was hideous and the myc wasn't a huge fan, but it worked.

Speaking of LME: What the hell do you all store yours in? Mine keeps turning into a taffy-like substance before I even finish a bag of the shit. I keep it stored in a baggie, but I have that baggie in 3 other baggies at this point because the outside keeps getting coated in taffy-lme.

I want to put it into a container but not sure what would be best. I'm worried that anything with a seal to it might get some lme inbetween the gasket or something and it'll never open again.

I know you have answers for the storing malt extract thing, but i have a really good one

Literally just vaccuum seal it. I put the whole pound from a fresh bag and put it on the vacuum sealer and its fucking perfect. When i need to use it, just cut the seal, weigh the amount, and reseal. Dummy simple. i store my agar in vacuum sealed bags too. Not that the vacuum part matters really, but the sealing is nice as hell

DO NOT i repeat DO NOT use dark malt extract. Its the worst shit in the world. I used to make agar form it and it only grew very weak transparent like mycelium.

I havent had a succesfull grow in my whole life (waiting some fruits within next week though) but from what i read on your agar recipe i believe you are using too much nutrients.

There are a a large amount of old threads of bodhisatta having arguments with another user Violet, about the amount of nutrients used in agar and how too much nutrition would appear to lead to tometose growth.
That is why in the cases that people want to isolate mycelium from contamination they use low nutrient agar. Because it leads to a more rhizo growth. Your agar recipe has 4% nutrients, and almost every Trusted cultivator appear to recomend 2% from what i read. Thats my inexperienced advice based on everything i learned around here.

i'm not the master of isolates, but The ultimate and final truth is, wait, what are we talking about. And who is changing the fucking thread titles? It's bothersome.

oh yeah, changing nutes and nute ratios. I've fooled around with it enough to have decided it's not worth fooling around with for cube cultivation. That being said, i still don't understand it. I just use 2% malt in all my agar nowadays though.

It's always the same with mycology on the hobby level. Peop

i bet you could weigh your powder out and seal the bag in sections so you can just cut a pouch out of the bag and avoid revealing it

Also, good catch on the % sankhara. 2% is even a little high for my taste. I didn't even think about looking at her recipe
