I'd blame the print, but that's why we do agar. So when shit like that happens we can kill it with fire and keep the clean stuff.

I think I just had a mini panic attack. Should I dump all my plates. I'm afraid whatever it is could have followed during transfers. It's so small and white it was near impossible to see. Someone please tell me what it was before I go crazy.
I literally raced it up the stairs and dumped it in the outside trash.

Normally I'd laugh but I'm not far enough from the moment.

So here is my theory. A lot of the pasty plates got wharped in the pressure cooker. I think it left enough space for the tiny little guy to crawl inside. So far I have come up with a bug called a psocid that thrives in humid environments and feeds off of microscopic molds and fungi. I hope the jars keep out the rest. I'm going to dust with diatomaceous earth and kill the rest of the bastards. Whatever it was looked like it was the size of a spider mite maybe smaller.
Whatever it is I really, really want to cry because I'm terrified of specifically pest insects. I had bathroom ants for like three days that terrified me but luckily killed them off with the DE. I worked so hard making all my jars and to have to throw out everything would be devastating. I am considering it though. Just cooking all new jars and dropping spores again.
I know you guys are totally laughing at me but it's really super scary to think you might have a bug hanging around that could destroy everything you are trying to do. Totally need to chow on some more ativan.

The pan cyan prints I have are fresh wild prints less than a month old. I'm on my first transfer close to making my second so I don't think gnat larvae is an issue

Just used my DE duster and covered the whole room. Should I throw all of my dishes? What if whatever it is hangs out in the mycelium?

Excuse me. I do shower and change before I do sterile work. When did I ever say I don't shower before I do work. My clothes come fresh from the drier. The bug could have came from anywhere and crawled inside since the pasty plate lids are looser than the metal jars. I'm sure if it was there yesterday I would have noticed it while cutting wedges off. I'm not going to worry too much. I'll just have to examine future transfers carefully.

Hopefully if I bury all my petri dish leftovers I can get some pants outside. The weather here is weird. I found puffballs growing on my lawn. There are so many weird mushrooms from all the crazy rain.
I'm super afraid to bring outside cubes inside and then put them in my dehydrator. What if they bring bug larvae with them?

I confess. I live in this perpetual statemail of sleeplessness. I'll be so tired from no sleep, ready to collapse. Then midnight rolls around and I'm wired. I've always managed to function off of 3 hours sleep. But it is catching up with me. Coffee doesn't even work anymore. Even when I pass out at 3am I still wake up at 6. It's like a dream state.

I confess.. Staying with azur the last six months I saw bod excitedly texting azur for days, many cult pic picture messages from bod to az.
Azur regretted contacting bod because 'he wont stop texting me'
And azur gets permied for harassment.

As in permanently banned. Whatever happened to people respecting other peoples boundaries.
IDK. Some people are socially awkward and you just have to explain things to them nicely. Like it's nice to hear from you sometimes man but things get busy for me and I can't always keep up with your texts. It's a lot. And if that person gets butthurt he's got issues.
Anyways I don't know whats going on here but all you Trusted Cultivators seem to be fighting with eachother. Stop that shit.
