Sorry mate that does happen with me.

I think that vent might be too ventilated. 0.25 micron I think. Colour appeared overnight 2 days after coming out of the fridge.

Did you use your kitchen fridge? Because there's a lot of things in there that are bad for plates. Like that mold growing on your plate.

Funny you should mention, it's the only one that stayed in the fridge and didn't get moved to the dedicated mycofridge. Sucker's gone 👍

I don't look at the transfer process like there is a specific amount of time. In fact if you have totally clean plates you might not even have to transfer at all before moving to next steps - spawning to grain. If you are going to transfer, in my view, you are simply looking for a healthy leading edge of mycelium to transfer to the next clean plate. If you know a plate is contaminated, and you see a clean leading edge as far as possible away from the area of contamination, take it ASAP and get it on something clean.



I agree with ya there, I'm going for diversity anyway but I've had 9 plates come in after a 13 day journey so it's like getting in a bus load of wounded soldiers. They're tough but i could definitely lose a couple if I'm not careful.

:cattoy: Gotta finesse the shit outta them

Ochra T-1




PE-6 T-1

Bluey Vuitton T-1





Really hoping my ochra cleans up. This is the last expansion of bluey and pe-6 and they'll go to grain and LC. As always thoughts and feedback welcome. My wife told me that all I've been doing is playing in goop and that im never gonna grow any mushrooms.

I would trench or cabin any transfers I pull off this plate.

Or a little combo.  Cut a square out and a trench next to it.  Drop the transfer in the square.  That way you don't have to mess around with a cabin lid.

Like this.

So what is the idea here? The bacteria cant make it through the trench ?


I'm having trouble understanding. I already took some transfers from these plates but can try it next time I get a bacterial plate.



Edit: Just go ahead and link the tek or something so I can read about it.

The hole should sequester the bacteria in the hole.  And the myceilum will go aerial over the trench, leaving bacteria behind that maybe hitching a ride.

So, what I should do is make sure when dropping the wedge into the hole it isn't touching any of the surrounding "walls" and just sit it on the bare bottom of the plate and wait for it to go aerial. Or can it be touching the sides? In the pics above in the example they are touching the sides of the "cabin". I understand a little better now I guess tho.

It's hard to drop it in without touching the sides, which is where the trench helps.

But bacteria tends to follow gravity.  While mycelium can grow three dimensionally.

So essentially we are taking advantage of that to get rid of bacteria.

What a cool technique to cull bacteria. Thanks. Looks like you just dropped the extra pieces of agar out of the way to the side of the plate. I'll try this if they come back with more bacteria/slime mold. Me personally, I thought it was slime mold.
