Worried about trich on monotubs.

Sorry about the horrid pic quality. Some of the mycelium looks a bit too.. gray? Not white? This is my first mono, grain done with multispore but working on getting a clean agar culture. How's she look?

A better pic will be required for any sort of accurate diagnosis. Grey area 'can' just be less densely colonized areas. From this photo, however, it looks fine.

Shitty phone cameras are shitty because of low light situations(due to horribly small sensor). The brighter the light you can get on the substrate the clearer the photo will be, and try to stabilize your hand on something. (I'm a professional photogapher, too)

Looks fine from what I can see. Trich mycelium is actually brighter white than cube mycelium.

Ok thanks! It's only a 1.3mp cam.. at least it's not VGA, right? Lol I'll try again and see what i can do!!
And maybe it's not trich, maybe it's mold I keep fighting in my jars. Hmmm.... I keep ending up with a black fuzzy mold on my agar. Like today, one of thr plates I transferred from was fine. Now 6 hrs later it's got mold showing. Done inside a shmuvbox. Gahhh

Could be a sign that your house has some mold issues if you keep getting black mold on your plates. Aspergillus niger is a more common black mold.
Look forward to a better pic.

Awesome thanks! Now if I could just get a clean agar culture.
I'll have to go UTFSE for what metabolites means.
