I am willing to accept four (4) orders from Canada. Same terms as the original offer.
To those who I have already traded, I can pass on vendor spawn. This offer is only open to those who already traded.
Short delay due to order collection. PM me for further details.

If you are willing, purchase the required materials to make a T-Tek. Its antibacterial and the only competitor is other mycelium.
Make some dishes, you can pull a sample from it. Alternatively, enriched tea slurry agar?

I still haven't been able to get a clean culture out of my dowels.
Too much mold. I can deal with bacteria but mold is another story.

I'm sorry to hear that. It took me prob in the vicinity of 15 plates to get one that had an area of clean myc that I could grab. The trich was a major problem. I was honestly not expecting to get something from these dowels.

Im in the final stage and over the next two weeks I plan on senind out a mixture of agar wedges, slants and lc syringes to people who want them.
I will be sending out agar wedges this week.
Im still trying to figure out how to handle shipping. From experience I would like to send these out VIA USPS priority. The reason behind this is that the shipping time from coast to coast is 3 days and I have had really good success shipping plants and orchids this method with low incidences of damage. It would help out alot if shipping was covered by those who want in on the give away. The average shipping cost would be $6 to $7. Does this sound reasonable?
I hate to do this but I can only ship to USA, Canada and Mexico. I will have cultures available for overseas at a later date.
Please let me know what you all think. Once we get the shipping method hammered out I will post what I have available to ship.

Im more than willing to send you anything you want. In fact you are first on the list. Let me know what you want and I will put it in the mail for you.
The main thing I did was start a bunch of plates. I almost went through two packs of 20 plates. 90% of the plates had heavy trich contamination and were tossed into the garbage. The ones that were promising I kept on the cool side to stunt the trich growth. Then I carefully took samples of good mycelium in a SAB and crossed my fingers in hopes of success. So literally my success was due to lots of samples and using tea as the antibacteria agent in the agar.
In fact the bacterial contamination was totally controlled using the tea method you have been developing. That is why the agar in the last picture set is so dark. Im not trying to prop you up and scratch your back. In all honesty the tea in the agar is what stopped the bacteria that was also in the culture you sent me. It stopped the bacteria so well that I see no need to replate to antibiotic agar. Good research and good science is exactly what you are doing with your tea tek.
I also want to extend an offer for people who want to try Gentramicin Sulfate. Im offering 1 gram of my USP lab grade Gentramicin cut up into 20 50mg servings. Each person will recieve two 50mg vials which is enough to do 1 liter of agar or two 500ml batches of agar. I have enough to cover ten people at no charge. The gentramicin I use comes from caisson labs and you can search the CAS number to see test and purity results on their website.

Nah its not me who did the write ups, I just found, tested and shared it. If you can post a step-by-step, I will add it to my pocket guide.
Better to make a fresh post, you tested the agar trick. Thanks for testing the information I found.

Here is a link that should help you to play with natural antibacterial agar mixtures. Might be able to fight specific bacteria if its a medium-able additive.

Thanks for my clean Tarragon and Summer oyster agar samples. I transferred the Tarragon 8 hours ago. It has already started getting stronger and growing out, I'm using an enriched tea bag.
