Is this mold in my god damn grain?

Fuck man. I was sent four wedges by a fellow. Two of one variety, two of another. Put the two of strain A on agar, but decided to put the two other wedges in grain jars already. The ones on agar are both growing with absolutely 0 contams. Just spotted something fishy in my grain jars today though from the two other wedges.

Here's the growth on that same jar.

Here's the other jar, looks clean.

Is pic 1 mold? Fuck

Alright thanks guys! What do you think those strands/hairs are then? This was inoculated with a wedge, not multispore, so it seems weird to me to see growth away from the wedge.

The other guy was just a straight up dick because I mentioned in my post that somebody had sent me a wedge. Talking about how it's illegal to stop being ignorant. Also told my my procedure just fucking sucked but without even telling me whether it's mold or not. I try to be as polite as I can but I have a hard time holding back when being attacked…

oh wow I didn't catch that about the wedge trade, you shouldn't do that. You didn't specify if it was an active species though I guess..

I didn't "shake" but might have moved the grains around a little. Hopefully you're both right. Come to think of it, I took the wedge out with a scalpel, and the agar was very soft and I think I cut the wedge. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the info! I almost had a heart attack that I lost the jar without having put the strain on agar first.
Yep, I was fine with criticism on that, but the way he said it was really unnecessary.

I'm now wondering if my SAB procedure is fine. I just spray the inside wraps with Lysol, and put it on a towel. Cover the holes with another towel. Then after 5 minutes, I put on latex gloves. Wipe with ISO, wipe my arms with ISO, and get to work. I ISO the outside of everything before feeding it into the SAB through the arm holes.

Actually it can't be my procedure because none of my unused agar plates ever contam... could be my scalpel not reaching temps? Or maybe i took too long with the transfer...

Alright thanks do you prefer the squirt bottle Lysol or the spray? Also is the towel good or should I be doing work on the lid?

The towel should be fine as long as it is clean I'd use a white towel so that you can wash it in bleach before hand. I dont use lysol on the walls I use a high concentration of antibacterial soap and cold water( I find hot water fogs with humidity making it even harder to see). Once I have everything wiped down and in the SAB I then spray lysol in through the arm hole to kill anything I can that's left floating in the air. Then I let sit for 30 min or more to allow anything I can't kill in the air to settle and stick to the walls.

Cool! I'll try that procedure. Now I just need to buy bleach…
What do you cover your arm holes with? I was thinking of going with that magnet idea…

Actually you don't need to cover your armholes at all. Some guys here let unwrapped petri dishes with agar in their SAB until the inoculate them with open arm holes.
As long as you don't stir up the air infront of your SAB too much, there's nor risk of conatmination.
And don't wipe down anything outside of the SAB and then bring it into it. This doesn't make sense. Either put everything on the towel before putting the SAB on it or put it through the arm holes. And THEN wipe it down with alcohol.

Lysol is a surface sanitizer, not an air sanitizer. You need oust or something equivalent for anything airborne.
EDIT Apparently Lysol does have an air sanitizer, sorry, I wasn't aware of this. It has to be this type though...... Lysol® Neutra Air® Sanitizing Spray

I wait 30 seconds the water vapor will knock most of the spores to the bottom very quickly.
Do you use the same flaming techniques for agar transfers? Do you get no contams with agar transfers? If you don't, I doubt it's the scalpel thing.
If these are metal lids, do you still have the rubber seal attached? I'd recommend removing that..

Yes I use the same flame sterilization. Come to think of it, a good percent of my transfers get contaminated. I thought it had to do with unclean wedges. I use a pretty thick exacto knife, and isopropanol as the fuel for my make-shift lamp. The knife never gets red hot, only soots like heck. When it gets so hot it starts burning my hands from conduction, thats when I stop. So I dont know…

UHG I literally just bought a brand new bottle of lysol. Like, 5 minutes ago. Didn't see that tho. And last time I was there I looked for Oust too, can't find it anywhere.

I like to do both. Once before putting it in, and once right before using it. Thanks for the armhole tip, I'll keep that in mind.

My improve your sterile techniques explains it . And yeah get your scalpel blade red, as seen in that tek as well haha. Actually I'd recommend just reading the entire thing tbh. It will help cut down on agar contams. Also think about PCing your tools.

Will read your post . I think I need to get a new knife, my x-acto refuses to get red hot no matter what!
And if I do get one I should use denatured alcohol because I hate that soot

Yeah. I thought it was suspicious at first because it was a lot 'grayer' than the mycelium I sew elsewhere. A couple days later trich developed very near it. (or if it was already trich, it just turned green and sporulated).

Do yourself a favour and get a butane / propange torch. At least these 5$ creme brulee torches.
The soot is not your problem, your problem is that the blade isn't getting sterile in your lamp fire.
These torches are great, most of them has a locking mode so they are firing the whole time you are doing SAB work.
You won't have any more problems

These torches are nice but they require caution. I want to warn people at this point.
Be careful with locking a blow torch. If it falls down and rolls under your table or something you are doomed. Because of the high heat it easily sets things on fire.
Never use fire inside a SAB. If it is sprayed with alcohol or lysol your SAB can explode or shoot flames towards you. Some people around here learned it the hard way.

Just looked on Ace Hardware, Home Depot, and Amazon. Cheapest ones I could find were $20 not including the fuel...

Go to amazon.com and enter "creme brulee torch", sort by price. You'll get really good gears for 5-10 bucks
Moreover this is something, I wouldn't buy online, cause the shipping costs are more expensive than the thing itself. I live in Germany, so I don't know about shops in the US, but in Germay we have these discount stores where you can get things very cheap.
I bought a culinary torch for 5 Euro there (about 7 dollars).
Regards.

The camping section and the plbuming section of Walmart has the clickers by themselves for 1-15. I'd suggest buying the slick small plumbers one for a few bucks more. The small nozzle one. Much more quiet.

yeah, get yourself a good torch, it's one of the best investments in this hobby.
And read the words of enlightment, he's right. Only let the torch run the whole time on locked when you are very sure about your movements and did it a couple of times.
I only use the locking mode sometimes. In most cases I take my hand out of my SAB and klick on the torch to turn it on and flame my scalpel (which I hold out of the SAB through the armhole of the hand, that I hold the torch with).

I never run the torch the whole time...waste of butane if you ask me...I just remove both hands, wipe the scalpel down with iso, hold scalpel in one hand torch in other, flame sterilize. Place scalpel inside box on some sort of stand, then wipe hands down with fresh iso and go to work.

Since what I read here, you don't have to wipe down a scalpel which you gonna flame anyway It's unnecessary since the flame will kill anything anyways

You guys are super! Thanks Will def get a torch then.
One of my jars is still decent tho. But if it is my scalpel then I don't have terribly high hopes for it.

I do wipe it once before the whole procedure (or sterilize wrapped in foil with substrate, etc) just to clean up the handle but never right before flaming as my hands are often covered in iso and the flame would ride down the scalpel onto my hands.
I had to light the old style torch with a lighter and caught my gloves on fire when sparking the lighter.
now I have the torch with the electric lighter equipped.
definitely get a torch propane is cheap and effective.

Cheap propane attachments scare me, but if you've tested them whatever. Not like price even reflects quality at times.
I dip the whole scalpel in iso before starting because why not

I only buy these torches with the refill hole for propane. In Germany we have thousands of Statutes and Security requirements, so a cheap one is as good as a expensive one.
Mine costs 5 Euro and worked more than 2 years like Charme in my kitchen until I started to use it for mycology
