Sankhara Could be something riding along or could be your agar recipe. Try switching it up and make a transfer . Or put it to grain

Happy New Year Guys
Thanks to everyone here, here is where I am with my first ever grow attempts. Agar plates (silly amount I know) are a mixture of trials with ms, some just squirted, some with inoculation loop, some transfers, every single one has clean white fluffy mycelium on. A few are T2, hopefully will do T3 tomorrow and after a couple more be ready to go to grain. I plan to fruit in an unbodified mono eventually.
The growbag was because I just wanted to try one whilst I wait on the others
And then 15 brf cakes as I had syringes left over and wanted something quick.
All are GT and from a couple of different vendors here in the UK.
Hopefully my next stage will be as successful too. Without all my stupid questions being tolerated and answered and the insane amount of knowledge already on here it wouldn't be possible without years of experimenting. Really appreciated and I hope this shows that the time taken to explain basic shit to me hasn't been wasted.
Cheers

I'm going to be late starting LAGM 2021, because I just had my first really dangerous experience doing mush cult.
I woke up early to pour some plates, so I microwaved my stored agar until liquid (have done this numerous times with no issues) and set it to cool.
After prepping my SAB, I turned to the media bottle and decided to move it into the SAB to finish cooling. Gave it a quick spray with ISO and KABOOOOOM!
Whole fucking bottle exploded/vaporized right in front of me. Got some pretty gnarly burns on one hand from molten agar covering it, but was really lucky I didn't get that shit or glass shards in my eyes. Jumped straight in the shower...
Have spent the last hour cleaning glass and wiping agar off all four walls, ceiling, and every appliance in my kitchen. Demoralized and feeling dumb to say the least. Will try to get back on track with my grow log soon.

Damn brother, stay safe out there is the mushroom fields. I know anything thick like that is going to burn like hell. Thankfully I haven't had that happen yet but did have a pretty nasty accident while changing scalpel blades a while back.

Damn. How does that happen? What were you spraying with iso? The media bottle? How was it hot enough to ignite? I I’m glad your okay-ish. Burns suck, they always hurt more the next day

I sprayed the glass media bottle with ISO. There was no ignition, but the temperature differential caused by evaporative cooling must have weakened the glass and made it vaporize.
I reckon I got the bottle too hot to begin with and the ISO spray was like tapping on thin ice.
I don't think this is an inherently dangerous issue with mush cult, just me being really fucking stupid.
Edit: How worried should I be about (more) contaminants taking hold in my kitchen with nutritious agar splattered into all the nooks and crannies?

maybe something good will come of this after all! At least it was an excuse to skip coffee and head straight for the hard liquor...

The iso didnt combust. It nust caused the glass to cool so quickly that it shattered and was likely under pressure from the boiling hot agar inside.

I wouldn't chalk it up to the ISO being as much of an issue as the temperature differential.

The pressure difference from the hot liquid inside the capped vessel combined with the cooling effect of the alcohol was like shooting the media bottle with a shot gun.
Glad you’re not seriously hurt.

Me too, just really worried about my eyes honestly. I don't know how that kind of tissue heals. Makes me want to wear safety goggles... or just not spray evaporative alcohol on blazing bottles.

I must have closed my eyes or shielded my face instinctively because it looks like the webbing on one hand took all the spray.
There was glass blown up to the ceiling and into an adjacent room with agar on EVERYTHING though. Fun way to spend the day...

That’s lucky man, did it explode instantly or take a second? Besides the iso being cold it evaporates so quickly it would definitely suck the heat energy out of the glass. I got lucky with my only media bottle explosion so far, microwaved it and then set it in the pot with cool water and it shattered. Luckily it was mostly submerged and contained in the pot.
Mf doom died?!? 
I remember being at UCSB back in the mid 2000s wandering around tripping with my friends and randomly stumbling into him performing. And again at rock the bells.
Lol such a weird dude but I love him. He was all tied into adult swim back in my heyday.
