Im not in the competition, but I have been following everyone. Since im so new i didnt wana throw my name in because im afraid of failure and being embarrassed lol. Already had 3 failures and it was embarrassing lol. I am getting better though. But you guys and other info I have read has sparked me to try agar before moving forward. If this is considered spam then ill remove it. But here is my log. I would love some advice and pointers from experienced cultivators. My grow log.

Hey man I stopped in there and dropped a line but you will definitely get the best help if you post in mushroom cultivation. Elif yoyre looking fir advice from experienced cultivators they will have a hard time finding your journal entry. Luckily there are a few following this thread that will see your link. No shame in failure man. Looks like you're starting on the right foot anyway  Oh yeah and this isn't a contest

I don't see any reason to. Besides, we don't take kindly to folks who delete.

Do any of you strain agar?
If you mean do we clean up our cultures on agar, yes, I'd field a guess most of the people in this thread wouldn't dream of doing it any other way. When I'm trying to decide if I have healthy myc or mold I look for a few things:
A) How long did it take to germinate? I find both MS syringes and spores from prints take at least 7 days for cube spores to germinate. Anything growing before that is suspect immediately.
B) How fast is it growing? I've had mold take over a plate in 2-3 days. I expect at least a week (if not more) from germination to a plate being fully colonized if it's cube myc. Same with transfers.
C) Is the growth organized? People always say look for rhizomorphic growth, but TCs around here will tell you all about deadly potent cultures they have that show entirely tomentose growth. Regardless, you expect cube myc to show organized growth. If it's rhizomorphic, that's even easier to see. If it's haphazard, disorganized growth, I'm suspicious.
D) Is there any coloration? If you see anything other than pure white, it's not cube myc.
E) Are there any satellite colonies? If so, I wouldn't put the plate to grains. Instead, I'd make a transfer until I had a satellite-free clean culture.
Throw up a pic! Mistakes are meant to be learned from.
Well the original colony took over a week to get. Then after transfer white started popping up about 3 days after,and now its just spreadibg out very well. Yes the growth is organized and even, all white no discoloration.
Here is a pic. You can see everythin in the log I have going.

I'm drunk, I love you all. I really want to thank comebackkid for the inspiration. I was always a reader and shy to post. A PM or two later and now I'm involved with a communal grow. Thank you sir.

Hey all of u guys! Im was super stoked, when I saw this tread =) I just invested about 1000Euro last week on some spores, 18L autoclave/sterilizer from china, and 15m² of growing-area and hopefully laboratories space! I have been stuck reading mycology and cultivation, since I got back here in the cold north 2 months ago. Im totally new to mushroom cultivation, and just registered me on the site but im going all in ha ha.. Old traveling hippe been traveling and living all over the world since a traumatic car accident 2005 now helping my old crazy chemist professor uncle!
And It´s also cool that he likes this too.. (Maybe because we both likes tryptamine)
Im hoping to buy,trade,hunt,grow,collect as many cultures & spore prints as possible.. (Want to build the collection in Scandinavian country's) and of course providing and sharing. Im waiting for my stuff to be delivered in the middle of next week, and start direct.. I received som lab stuff and bags today.. But something I notice and be wondering about, why isn't the a cultivation circle or some sort of spore changing program!? Maybe it is i just haven't found it yet!? I hav ge been focusing on the scientific and laboratory parts...
But its nice to be here, and now i said Hello, and i hope to learn alot this year.. And have interesting discussions! I hope i can participate even im ab it late..? I dont really remember but i bought Mazatapec, thai, cambodian, Ecuador and some more.. Im looking for some truffles.. And som food grade strain now! Do all of you guys have any tips to a total newbe-cultivator as yet!
All the best..
