A hole in the soil under a tree. We were talking about temperature ring growth in agar due to fluctuations. Stable temps also plays a role.
I was planning on outdoor grows someday if space permits.

Nice to see you brother ferather gaining & sharing knowledge. Glad you updated your tagar and lowered the recipe.
 This t-agar are cooked with starch added and inoculated 2.5 days ago, 3rd transfer from
 A very bacterial cube plate. 2 transfers away from spores.
 Using semi biopsy method.
I love the recovery and takeoff in growth. If this comes out nice 4-5days from now. I may knock up some pasty ezlc using josex 21g true biopsy method, and some pfpucks & more tagar to veryfy them 3 birds in one bullet.

Rings can occur from temp swings. But the ones you mentioned won't do shit ime. That looks like it's pure mold to me

I felt the last 2 out of the 3 pics were mold for sure, and the 1st was probably mycelium and mold, along with bacteria.

Crossing fingers to this one. Hoping they are not to save time..
 Ive ditch this obvious plate together with its 5 new plate after they blobup from the center.. Observing the two left.
The top pic on the t-agar looks aerial but the side are flat, this is new aerial view.
 Hoping i can get something out from them. Else will restart.
I remembered i was so happy to see this for the 1st time.
 From transfering this for half a year 
 But hoping to shorten that this time. Glad i was on shroomery and meeting brothers giving comments/advice, helping & sharing writeups.

After reading both your posts and images, congrats pacmanbreed, I'm glad my tests gave you what you wanted. Is this the 0.8g recipe or 1.2g recipe? I have adjusted it recently to allow for better enrichment.
I can see the original plate is contaminated, and the transfer to T-Gel looks clean.

Good luck, looks good so far.

hey guys, trying to get back in the swing of things, i had a PE plate in the fridge for about a year, it was overgrown n looked a bit on the dry side, i decided to go ahead and take a few transfers anyways, the plate was already a 3rd transfer so this would be #4 how does it look?
 the mix was deff to nutritous (added tato flakes and karo to MEA)
i was planning on making 1 more transfer to do a EZLC but i was wondering if its fine as is and if i can throw some wedges on grain?
while waiting for those to grow i pulled out an old print and did a few swab plates and was wondering how these look as well, MS AA+ in my opinion they look ok, dont know how long i should let MS grow before i transfer any advice would be appreciated

1. Looks rich and overfed like you said, cant say otherwise, bit blurry. 2. Looks a bit off to me, but I don't know AA+ mycelium.

ya its hard to get the camera to focus and the plastic isnt really transparent on camera.
2. looked a bit off to me as well but i chalked it up to MS looks weird... idk
ill transfer from the first plate to a less nutritious plate and go from their. i wanna have a stellar grow this round and dont mind waiting.

Good luck, learning to clean mycelium is quite rewarding if you are patient, as you mentioned.

I would use that first plate for ezlc, transfer as soon as you see mycelium.

That is the right word. I was fixated on getting rhyzomorphic myc for my first 2 years in this game and now that idgaf I'm getting them left and right

will do i have 4 plates that look like that with no satellites and no odd growth just growth from where the wedge was laid.

ya i used to worry about it as well but i focused more on getting clean growth, my shit always came out tomentose cause i was always adding flakes and karo, but im just using MEA from now on and that i believe is still too nutritious
wats is ur take on the second plate? i did the zig zag swipe and everywhere i swiped is starting to take off. thanks

Looks good to transfer. From pretty much everywhere. Clean ms plate

Stick to the larger looking colonies because they are more likely to be cube myc and not mold. But I always wait for a first transfer before saying definitively it's cube myc

Sometimes rich can work, if the mycelium is capable of ridding the infection, but needed to be vigorous first. In terms of external infection (from air, container) rich is not so good, thumbs up if no infection.
I prefer growth that fully populates areas as it grows out, rather than stretch out.
----
Here is some balanced growth, pushing out, but also fully populating.

Here is low carbon, more pushed out, less populated.

ya those first 2 pics look very similar to my plates just mine are not as grown out as yours are. its good to know cause i made up 6 more plates before realizing i can use MEA as a stand alone mix

Here is well fed Oyster mycelium (infected vendor WBS sample) destroying hidden bacteria and mold.


The tea phenol's did a very good job inhibiting bacteria, the mold is lignicolous.
