Balled up foil is the new swabs. Just rub the ball under the gills and send it.

A.k.a said: I just ended up reading a Reddit thread for the first time, I am so glad shroomery exists.
The title was “third flush why am I only getting fruits on the sides” with a picture of a dried up, bacterial sub that was choked out.
The general consensus was to soak it, scrape it with a fork, cut it into more pieces, and then wrap it in bubble wrap. 
I love this place and all of you weird, competent people.
I've been thinking this place needs a clean up and revamping. I'll go study under them and report back. We could learn a lot from such wisdom.
Happy Mother's Day.

Swabs are good man. You just had bad luck with that one. Bacterial swabs usually happen if they aren't allowed to dry properly after swabbing the gills.
I don't know if you missed my post here in this thread the other day talking about how I germinate swabs, you should give that a try next time (third link in my sig). I always get germination on each and every plate and I really don't care if the swab maker was sloppy. You won't encounter the common issues you may have when swabbing on agar (no germination and/or bacteria).
If you still prefer to use agar though, you can try swabbing normally several plates and then simply burying the swab in another plate. Another interesting option is burying individual pieces of it in several plates, but always swab several plates before burying the swab/pieces of the swab.

Haven’t met a swab I didn’t get to produce mushies.. well once but I was experimenting with a wet swab. Even bacterial swabs I knocked up small amounts of grain with, I just top fruited the grain and got clone material

I got the prerinse idea from Josex.. it works amazingly.
Here’s my take on making SS from swabs
Josex’s is probably easier to follow and brf is the way to go.. all these cakes were made directly from swabs —> spore solution

did you knock up the grain with a swab like stuck it in the grain for a second? or did you clean it up on a dish a little first? I mean I guess they would be small enough for the mycelium to take over for a little bit even if it was contaminated now I want to try this.

No... I go into detail in that link I posted but I’ll give ya the quick run through. I sterilize two small glasses of water.. one is for rinsing the swabs, the other is for the spore solution (the second one has about 10-15ml of water only). I take two swabs that have been dried for at least a week.. dip them a few times in the first jar of water to rinse them (I’ll usually rub them together once lightly where the spores are) then I take them to the other jar of sterile water and rub them together where the spores are vigorously to dislodge the spores into the water... then I suck up that water with a sterile syringe and use that to inoculate cakes or small grain jars.
I think josex just drips some into his puck jars, which is something I’m going to start doing for my small grain jars.. cuts out the need to inoculate through the SHIP which is an added vector

Yea I also rinse the swab in sterile water like Faht does. This does 2 things, cleans it up a bit and softens the fibers so I can take tiny pieces off the swab with the tip of the scalpel blade. Then I bury each piece I take in separate BRF/verm pucks. Works charm.
Will take a look at your tek later Faht to see if I can steal some ideas from you.  Always enjoy seeing the shit you do.
