You're absolutely right about that.  Tbh I just got a little over excited.  Just happy to see anything clean at all. I did something patently stupid in the beginning and all my plates got bacteria (didn't wrap them, put them in a dirty spot). Went to grain before I noticed. Put that bacterial grain to agar, threw extremely thick ropes probably in part because of the bacteria, decided I needed to save the culture and have done like 4-6 transfers (30-40 plates) since spanning 2 months trying to get it clean again, most of it tomentose (despite transferring the thickest ropes I've ever seen in my limited career).  Even my new grain that is finally clean is tomentose rn.  I'm not even upset about it.

I've heard antibiotic agar is a thing but just never dug around for it because I already had so many plates made, if anyone has a go to recipe, please send it my way, I would really appreciate it.  But I'll obviously use the search function and see what I can turn up.

I poured a bunch lazily onto some agar plates too, it's kind of messed up because there's standing liquid on the agar plate on half of it, but it's tilted due to wrap on the plate stack, so the dry areas fluffed up with mycelium,  looks super duper clean, already blasting rhizos 36 hours in, the original agar that went into the LC's was pure tomatose. Whatever rigor it was searching for it found.  I'm a true believer now.





OK but myc will switch from tomentose to rhyzo and back depending on the substrate, and contams - which might be hard to see...  So rhyzo growth isn't necessarily equated with rigor, even though lots of people (as do I) select for it.  :shrug:







Rhizo growth is just ez to identify.

I like to make nutrient poor agar for early xfers/germ and make the myc work for it

Then I'll bump up nutes for later xfers once I've grabbed clean stuff

I never care about rhizo or tomento

Do you have pics of plates with low nutes and high nutes?

This isn't what you're asking about, but I accidentally poured plates with too little nutes and saw fan regions where the mycelia wouldn't grow. Multiple strains developed this problem. I could not see contamination even with very close examination. But "low nutes" usually just means a little bit less, and my plates were closer to half the usual amount.

Interesting. I just wonder because some t4 plates look less organized than what it was xfered from so I was wondering if it's the nutes in the agar or I didn't do good sterile work.

I have a Malabar coast variety that always looks like this.

Oh, wow. Thanks! They're growing together? Freaky. How did you discover that mold gave that effect? How/when did it manifest as mold, if you recall?

I ended up getting rid of the plate (actually two that showed this trait) because I had others with more normal growth.

My APE and melmak were both like this, could never get them to grow healthy or produce fruits, it was super frustrating.
I eventually got a mak tub to fruit one sickly fruit which I cloned and then was able to work with, but that was pure luck.

When there's deletion zones like that it's all trouble.

That is also called scalloped edges for description sake, and is a sign of intermeshed mold like penut said.

Interestingly enough I most recently had it with some melmak swabs too.

About the same experience as you but even shitter. I had some other melmak tp swabs come through great though.

The best part about it was that after all of that trouble it didn't even resemble mak.

That’s so common.


My first run of them was cool but pretty typical cubes, then I ran a different section of the same plate and got normal melmaks.


Definitely some variety in there.

Unfortunately I was dealing with a clone so I didn't have the benefit of going back to ms, so I was stuck.

I could have taken a spore print but I figured that I had a dud.

I suspected it would be mold but I only ever got it from one particular variety and I never could clean it up.

Anyone ever use loose coir? I've only used bricks before. Went to grow store to pick some up, forgot to mention bricks, ended up with these when I went to the loading bay. Oops.
