Agar transfer question
    #25965023 - 04/30/19 07:27 PM (5 years, 8 months ago)

I have a new project going and I put spores to agar 12 days ago.  The OG starter plates still look clean but for the sake of caution I am on transfer 3 with good healthy rhizomorphic growth on all plates.  It appears that I have 16 plates that are contaminant free.

My question for future projects is, when transferring to obtain clean plates, does it matter if I take transfers exclusively from the fastest growth or is any healthy looking segment acceptable aside from speed?

The end goal is to tick-tock drop 1 plate per quart grain jar.  Next time I will aim get a few clean plates to masters then g to g, but I am curious what others would say about only taking from fastest growth exclusively.  I am not a pro this is for fun and learning then tripping:grin:

I tend to take transfers from whatever seems right at the moment.

Contamination, take it further away.

More rhizomorphic but shorter, a possibility.

I believe the fastest growth isn't necessarily the most potent.

Check out this:
Quote:

Commercial Agaricus cultivators have long noted that the slower growing cottony mycelium is inferior to the faster growing rhizomorphic mycelium. There is an apparent correlation between cottony mycelia on agar and the later occurrence of "stroma", a dense mat-like growth of mycelia on the casing which rarely produces mushrooms. Furthermore, primordia frequently form along generatively oriented rhizomorphs but rarely on somatically disposed cottony mycelia. It is of interest to mention that, under a microscope, the hyphae of a rhizomorphic mycelial network are larger and branch less frequently than those of the cottony network.




Full text here. It has tons of stuff about what to look for in a shroom.

This is word on the street, but if you are in it to get your learn on, try a cottony sector in grain then a shoebox. I'm gonna try this at some point.
