Horse poo can be chock full of nasty chemicals. I have horses and many years experience with them. I also compost extensively...following the Canadian Organic Standard.
Things like wormers (Ivermectin etc.), Anti inflammatory drugs like "Bute", and others, anti-biotics... poison the shit. Bute makes horse meat unsafe for human consumption. So do wormers. I would be very cautious and thoughtful about whether those things might get into the mushrooms.
Organic farms are the place to get shit if you can...
Wow. Ive never felt so oblivious. Noted. thankyou very much crispy.

A few days ago I observed two white mycelium satellite colonies on the very edge of an agar plate with otherwise healthy looking growth. I decided to observe them for a to see if anything would sporulate, nothing did, so I went to investigate. The satellite colonies looked exactly like cubensis mycelium and grew at the same rate, so I was a bit puzzled. I opened the plate and using my inoculation loop I scraped quite a lot of mycelium off the glass on the side of the plate. I brought it up to my nose and smelt it, it smelt exactly like cubensis mycelium. Is it safe to say that this satellite colony is cubensis mycelium? How did this happen? It's on the very edge of the dish, growing against the glass, I can't imagine anything landed there.

That happens sometimes to me if the wedge accidentally falls off the blade and drops around the edges of the receiving plate, then I push it toward the center with the blade. After a few days I see growth in every spot touched by the wedge. Is that what happened to you?

I did move the wedge a bit, but it fell nowhere near the very edge of the dish. I moved it perhaps from halfway away from the center to the very center.

Sometimes my wedges move when I wrap the dishes....and sometimes I dont even realize it. I'd think you are good.
Even if not, just dont transfer that myc, just transfer the myc in the center.
...unless it turns green, if that happens the slightest bump will spread trich spores eveywhere. You said it hasnt changed colors so.....

im horrible at this. happens with almost every fucking transfer. thats why i took a second cut in my lagm2017 log.
but it goes to show how little tissue you really need. i wonder if just wiping the tissue similar to a swab would work. like not even drop the culture. just touch it too the receiving media..

because lack of space I use mini monos, I have a corner in the room where I could put 5 or more minis every on on top of the other.
And jars can be stored somewhere, there will be enough space

Yes. The medium should refer to the colour it is. You have anything from extra light to extra dark and it just makes a lighter or darker medium. (Or beer when brewing)

Meh don't give up on the scalpel man. You should have seen me during my first SAB sessions, trust me it doesn't get worse than that. I was so afraid to fuck up that that's exactly what I did, and royally. Sweating, trembling with the scalpel, donor plate utterly destroyed just to take one wedge and of course the wedge did a fucking tour around the entire donor plate before I was able to catch it... and same shit to transfer to the receiving plate 
I dreaded the SAB sessions like going to have a surgery without anesthesia.
But now I look forward to it, I really love it and enjoy every minute of it, it's like a meditation and it feels awesome.
What changed? This..

Just do sessions of 20 or 30 plates and by the 10th plate you won't give a fuck and most of the tension will go away, that's when you really start to improve and it'll become super easy
