Agar questions and answers

So I have some stuff going on with agar. Id like to understand more about whats going on.
This P.Mex plate is DFA 8:10 did something strange on transfer. It fluffed up b4 begining to row. It happened to all 3 plates. WTF is going on here then?
v 
This P. Sandose has been producing spots and not growing like id like it to since the first transfer. Do these have a history of this kinda growth
 
These PE plates both have gaps where it looks like it either hasnt liked the agar there or it's genetics?
 
This AA+ has produced a pin before the culture has reached the edge, Im thinking I want those genetics as shes a white cracker bursting with life. Transferring soon
 
India O plates are looking good. Lots of nice sectors very clear

Thai Plate is looking good and getting closer to Isolate

Finally this Eringii clone from a shop bought mushroom is doing well and will be grown out to inoculate rye seed soon.

If you can help please add some comments.

If the agar is very nutritious the transfered pieces tend to fluff sometimes IME. You should not worry about that. I had this with different species that got nice growth later. I have no experience with DF agar. Usually I use MEA. The PE plate looks strange. Observe it and update this thread in 2 days.

My last batch of PDA plates all look like those fluff balls you have there. Too much nutrients

I would not spawn pins to bulk. Fruits are a vector for cubensis.

These PE plate certainly dont like those parts of the agar. Ok on 1 plate but to have 2 do the same suggests something else. The other sides on both have nice sectoring going on. I have take 3 transfers from 1 plate and hope for better all round genetics.

There she blows! I was too late on one plate but the other was ok. so I made a LI and clones the Pin.

On a side note, can you use Cat food as a medium?

So the P.mex after the initial fluffing has grown out nice and cleanly and round. Im thinking of using this for a master jar now. Here are the latest photos

The lids a bit clouded due to old age but it looks fine to me.

I litterally just did the same thing a few days ago. My plate was super fluffy but perfectly round like yours. I cut it into 36 pieces and nocd up 6 jars with it. The growth in jars is suprisingly the most rhizo I have ever had yet.

One of the PE plates kinda colonised the patch. What could of caused this?

I transferred away from the last plate but the new plate looks a bit sweaty.
The sectoring the on left of this plate is really clear and looking good.
Gunna transfer once more.

4th Transfer
PE

Made a LI with another similar which is going for it, so happy days.
Doubt I will be getting any Penis for christmas though which is a shame as I was really looking forward to some festive fun.
I heard somebody say they had never had a blob when they had straight cased which is interesting.
Where would you take from to get close to isolate? I take it if I take one tiny wedge from the single stains that will isolate? I know its not neccesarry but Id like a few isolates as ive never gone that far.

7 oclock looks quite uniform

The answer I got from another forum was
Yes Knots Yes
I m not sure if it is a contamination but there dont seem to be too many experts on this subject.

My next agar question is why does this culture do this? It has done it since the first transfer away from spores and now I am at the 5th.

So when they start growing they leave an area like this. Has anyone had this b4 and what causes it? It has done it with every plate involved from the original plate.

The dark stuff looks like sediment from the dog food...you're coloring your agar, correct? If so, as the color fades, the sediment becomes more apparent...possibly.

Why does it grow round on itself and miss out that section? I was thinking of using this to make a LI. What do you think?
