You didn't post anon btw.

When you are in the sab, take a break after every inoculation, critique what went wrong and identify mistakes. Then plan your path to make improvements

Anon? Inside joke?

Ya I've been ramping up and the last plates look like I sneezed in them.
I can think of a couple things wrong, so next time...

Sometimes I fumble in the SAB and I was going to mark the spot with a sharpie on the plate.
I've started a journal just for Agar Rx and transfers, keeping notes of my "tek". :rofl:

It really can be depressing, I'm working T4 and at my contam rate there will be more contam casualties than T-transfers. It's verging on dying out and starting over.

After riding the roller coaster of depression, recovery and its relationship to mycology i feel like I'm coming up to a drop that's going to plummet me into a dark place where all my passions and joy is blown away into the void, never to be seen again.

Like this is a confession so that's what I'm doing.

I'm starting to think that maybe I was really just lucky and have no actual skills as a mycologist. After beating depression out last week I was able to find the motivation to start shit again. On Sunday I worked all day prepping and pc'ing. I got streaks on plates for new varieties and species. Got pan g2g done.

This morning my plates are littered with pin mold and my grain jars are starting to show bacteria. My friend who is also getting into mycology who has been relying on me for guidance has also been having nothing but issues for 3 different agar runs and all of this is really just starting to make me question if I even know what the fuck im doing at all.

Like I knew that this hobby was going to be humbling, trying and difficult to master, but this is basic shit that I'm struggling with and it sucks.

I dont want consolation or pick me ups. I just wanted to bitch as an anonymous person and hope maybe someone else feels the same way but decides this post is what makes them decide not to give up. Idk how that could work. But whatever




So after a few conversations and comments I decided that I was going to stop being a mopey bitch instead of letting it take over like it has so many times before.

I just deep cleaned my bathroom top to bottom with a bleach cleaner, pc'd more agar and am letting it cool down now. Thanks for letting me bitch earlier fellas

I use paper muffin cups for measuring dry powder ingredients on my scale because seemingly every other measuring cup I use exceeds its operational range.  It feels wasteful, but is super convenient.
