No kidding, I second that! Always wanted to work with that one someday. You seem to have it figured out!

Hey sometimes knowing when they need some TLC from Mother Nature herself is an acquired skill, I’d say you’ve done more than you’re taking credit.

Beginning the journey with caerulescens, pictured germination plate, some transfers taken already more to be done, hopefully sending some to grain sometime soon.

Caerulescens I sent to grain seemed to stall out on me. Sending a couple new jars this week and hoping for better results. Are these slow on grain? Maybe I’m just impatient, keeping the jar around around a bit longer anyways but not seeing progressive growth anymore so we’ll see. Also pictured below T1 zapotecorum plate, thanks yoshi, looking good and healthy to me. Going to let we fill in and then send to grain.

Yeah I just shook it the other day, totaled maybe like a half inch diameter of growth from the agar wedge in 3-4 weeks. Started out good and quick but petered out fast. Now I’m wondering if grains were too dry though everything else grew out just fine. It was a drop from germination plate so my assumption is just selected a bad spot, T1s of caerulescens grew out well so dropping from those next. Started out wispy then got kinda thick so maybe latent infection intermeshed as well maybe the shake will give some answers. I will say they recovered very fast after the shake though so torn between impatience and bad culture. And thanks, very excited to drop the zaps to grain!

Last zap culture refused to take to grain. Trying again with this guy.
 To my untrained eye it looks a little suspicious with the patchiness, though is uniform so giving her a shot. Hoping this one takes, if not I may switch up the grain, my milo tends to be rather dry so might pop em on some oats instead of this doesn’t work out.

Heard, that’s not a bad idea, I dislike lc but maybe a small jar wouldn’t hurt.

Zap took to grain this time around, post shake rebound has been good and healthy, still definitely slow going, semp jar shaken on the same day as this is already done and g2g to new jars, so definitely taking their time. Regardless happy to see some mycelium on grain at last, still a ways out from spawning but nearing g2g so getting there one step at a time.
 Papuana going to agar today as well.

Just spawned some sec. Zap tubs today, hoping I can follow on y’all achievements in the coming months.. caerulescens still kicking and looking healthy, at least the two that remain. The last couple days the surface has been looking a lil different, something in my gut is telling me good luck on the horizon, though I gotta say I’m probably just seeing shit out of anticipation at this point.. dropped some paps to grain as well, 0t0 and hindsight keeping me inspired and going!

Yeah doing some smaller unmodded monos. Basic manure/coir sub, and peat casing down the line. Got 4 of em going so got a few to play with and try a few different things. Initially I was planning to run em just like semps or tamps. Though think I might do more restricted fae considering y’all are mentioning a dislike to evaporation cycles. Depending on how many are still standing in a month or so I’ll hopefully still have at least two to do two different approaches for conditions but we’ll see how that goes. It seems to be the pattern that on my first attempts I try several and end up with one or two that make it to the end. Alas such is the process I suppose. I’m digging those you got there, still chugging right along! I’m glad they are dripping wet and tolerate that, I tend to be heavy handed with misting. I’m just here observing and hoping I can find a way to replicate those before me.

Thanks mate, yeah I suspect many species can be done in a tub just fine, at least that’s what tell myself. Looking forward to the journey ahead..

I did do some updating in my journal, seemed like some pins were about to abort... But I can't say 100%, as they also take their time aborting. Have another tub going and two more consolidating shoeboxes.. and around 16 petri's and ample of cryo vials with back-ups. So I hope I'll succeed at some point.. like clampconnected said would be nice to have some zap grow along thread or maybe an "official" zapotecorum thread? Good luck Kirkeng!
Thanks mate, I really have to get some of these cultures into backup storage, been slacking in that department, I know what I’m doing this weekend..

Cross post from official caerulescens, sorry just excited.. We have pins! Only pictured is one corner as the rest are still too small to properly capture, though there are a handful popping up all around. Unmodified tub as always, wish me luck in bringing them to maturity!
