I just moved. The shower at my new place is gigantic, multiple removable shower heads, a built-in tiled bench, the size of a small bedroom. Clearly designed for showering with a friend.
A few years ago, my first thought seeing this would have been "I'm going to fuck so many girls in there."
Confession: Now that I'm an amateur mycologist first thing I thought was "It's going to be so easy to wash out tubs in there."

Talking about showers, I wash everything in the bathtub: jars, PC, tubs, everything but the no-pour containers for agar, which just get a quick wipe with a dry paper towel.

Good points c10h12n2o, I agree. Yeah that thread made me lol a lot to be honest. I cringed several times. Pretty sad some grown adults can such gigantic fucking lame asses.

Confession; that thread along with a few others recently have proved to me almost 80% of people in mushcult suck a whole lot of dick at mushcult.

I confess I fucking suck at agar work. It is not mold that is ever an issue, it is this clearish oily fucking bacteria. Fucking shit grows as fast as the mycelium does in most cases.

So far it has been from all spores. I just took a couple clones like 2 days ago. In a few days those should help me understand if it is me, or from spores and I just suck at transferring.

I hardly ever get mold, it only seems to show up when I have a fight getting the wedge off the scalpel and that doesn't happen much any more. I wear gloves and constantly hit them with alcohol, and constantly flame my scalpel red. Maybe I need a bigger torch. lol

Mines always bacteria. When it does happen.

Are y'all streak diluting spores or just drops right to agar?

If it is syringe, I drop 1-2 drops, If it's a print I streak. The syringes usually start off worse.

Streak diluting. Clones taken yesterday I had some clones but nothing promising.

I've got a trick to clean the dirtiest culture possible and fairly quick.
I've cleaned an impossibly dirty APE culture from a swab using this trick and I doubt a culture could get nastier than that. I could not clean it transferring wedges as usual on agar.
I really gotta hit the sack, I'll post it tomorrow if you're interested.
Confession: every single fucking challenge you encounter in this hobby is a blessing in disguise. You either give up, keep stubbornly repeating the same thing over and over hoping things will magically work out for you some day or you let your passion for the hobby be the fuel of your creativity to overcome every single hurdle.
In the short time I've been doing mush cult more seriously I've encountered a plethora of problems most people don't seem to have encountered, really weird things, and on top of it awful difficulties to find equipment and materials.
I confess I could share lots of very useful tricks, not some noob bullshit, things that really work and make your life much easier and the only reason I don't do it is because I work a lot at a job I don't like and my laptop got a virus 3 months ago and the person who tried to 'fix' it broke it up for good, 'accidentally'...

I failed to check my culture fridge for a couple weeks....needless to say that piece of shit crapped out on me...now all my edible slants are fucked...hopefully chanterelle season is good to me again this year and I can get members to trade me some edible slants for some dried chants for on my down time from growing cubes...planning to take a little break...not sure how long :/... Been putting cultivating edibles off because of fear of fucking up pasteurization.. Gotta learn sometime I guess
