Oops...I've apparently been growing mycogone
    #25154008 - 04/20/18 06:40 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

This was my very first attempt at agar.  Back on March 2nd, I pulled the 3 spore syringes that I'd used to start my first grows out of the refrigerator, and put a few drops from each onto a large no pour dish.  Of the 3, I was only able to get (what I thought were) decent transfers off of one.  Two transfers later, I had consistent, albeit extremely fluffy, growth, so I expanded the nicest looking one to 8 plates.  On March 26, 7 were Tiger dropped into quart oat jars, and 1 was kept to further transfer.  The myc with this culture always seemed a bit...strange...but I went with it.  The jars colonized in a bit under 2 weeks, were spawned to cvg in 2 mini monos, consolidated for a week, then cased and put into fruiting conditions.

I'm learning as I go, and 1 lesson I learned from my first mini mono grow is to dial it in, and leave it the fuck alone.  So I kind of ignored these once they were fruited.

Fast forward to today, and I found this while pulling out some old plates to clean out.


It's not a great pic, but there is a white blob with three yellowish/silver drops on top.  I knew what it was instantly, and my heart sunk.  I moved both tubs outside immediately.  This is what I found...




Fuck me...Both subs, and all the plates associated with this culture are now in the trash.  The mycogone was probably hitching a ride from early on.  Now the waiting game begins with all of my other projects.  I'll continue to make transfers with the rest of the cultures I'm working on, but nothing is going to grain until I can gauge whether or not the mycogone is isolated to the one culture.  I have 1 mono about to finish up it's first flush, 2 mini's that were put into fruiting a few days ago, and 17 quarts of oats that were nocced up with different agar cultures after the contaminated ones.  I should have a better idea of the extent of the damage soon...wish me luck :mushroom2:
