Oh I'm exhausted! That's hard work. The loop is really flimsy. Pretty exciting though and there was a surprise print. Fk included TOC! Thankyou!
...
So far no condensation, poured at 117 F, stacked on two old plates, covered, in the SAB, inoculated the next day. Air temp here mostly 83 F.
The other plates, GT, sat in the fridge, cold and neglected while we partied in France, ha! I even dumped water out and wiped the lid with a paper towel, Caps McGee style.
GO NINERS!

Oneofus I had similar problems and flaming the blade til the whole thing went red instead of just the front half along with wiping down the handle thoroughly with iso fixed them right up, haven’t had any problems since.
Finally got some transfers in. I’m pcing a little 200ml lc bottle now, can’t decide what to use though, leaning towards either aa+ or toc, or maybe pe6 man too many choices.
Anyway back to this dirty ass melmak swab.
When I first saw myc growing out of it on the original plate I dabbed it a few spots before burying it hoping some clean stuff would take but only bacteria grew. Until now. Is it worth taking from these or will they be filthy from growing over bacteria puddles?? Also can the bacteria just die?? Seems like that’s what’s happening.

That SAB is so much better than mine, is it just the 110 from Walmart?

Yeah, 110qt Sterilite from Red Walmart (Target). Linked up in my OP Log here.
What's odd is mine has grey handles... which I can't seem to find anywhere on their site... So I might be lying to people about it and it's actually different. The dimensions, however, are exactly the same as the one I linked.

DISCLAIMER: For phones in otterboxes only. Just a winning circumstance with 'lab' placement. Plus a Chinese Amazon phone tripod, ankle weights, shoebox for fine tune adjustments Ugh. I'll get a proper Y-axis tripod soon enough. Got a DSLR recently so I wanna up my video quality.

Sterilite likes to change up their handle colors from year to year. It’s the same tub, only now it probably has those ugly fucking teal handles they decided to go with.

Haha, perfect. I was thinking of rigging up something similar. I have one of those tripod for taking product photos and also a smaller desktop version I use for inside SAB shots. Just thought I'd check. I have vaulted ceilings in my lab\attic so also thought about just velcro-ing phone case to ceiling.

January 18, 2020
The jars i did with my old pour lid are colonized in 8 and being spawned day 9. The jars with the new lid are colonizing 30% on day 8. So i am now shaking the jars. And will spawn when colonized.


Once the quarts are colonized, I prepped my substrate for spawning 3 tubs. I used 4 small bricks coir, 12 cups coarse grade vermiculite, 16.5 quarts water. I then spawned using 5 quarts spawn per tub. One tub only had 4 quarts spawn. I used a NO BOIL substrate prep.

For fruiting I am using Pasty’s ez micropore dialed tubs

So my AA+ swabbed dishes more or less exploded with mycelium. The Puerto Rico "drop and tilts" are a bit more tame. Going to pour and make transfers soon. Will update OP with pictures!

One of Us said: Gymnopilus: I would like some feedback on this one. It looks really faint. Does anyone have experience with Gym myc on agar? It seems to be growing at the same rate as the cubes, not super fast like similar looking molds have been in my limited (3 months) experience with agar. Anyway, Here it is:
 
I have zero experience with Gyms but I'm in a similar boat with my pan myc.
Gunna try switching up the agar recipe to see if it smartens up a bit. In the meantime gunna swipe some more plates to see if I get something else to work with...when I find time 
If it is mold I have no idea what kind but not ruling it out... hopefully someone with more experience can chime in
Fuck it if nobody has anything definite to say about it anytime soon I'm just gunna toss mine into some grain to see what happens cause I cant even find an answer in the search bar. I'll just have to throw it in the ol grow log
Also all you fellas with the hats    Wish I could join yas but I'd be sketching about it for the rest of my life

You know what it does remind me of?
 The leading edge of this cube culture I worked with years back. Just with an even bigger clear leading edge.

I've been more and more suspicious of my culture being something other than cube.

It's got that nearly transparent leading edge on every plate, both sets of transfers so far... never really had that with any of the varieties I've worked with. That combined with the thick tomentose growth has me questioning.

Jcm thanks man! Sometimes you just gotta fuck around ya know? If it turns out to be mold at least then we will all know for sure Can't stand being uncertain. I figure it's worth a few jars of grain for the grow logs.
Footpath that does look a bit suspicious but I think you're fine.
Mushroom myc will have long waving strands reaching across the agar even in the clear leading edge. If the myc has a curly fuzzy afro look to it it's likely mold.
I cant make out from your pic cause it's a bit blurry but you should be able to tell by looking at it in the right light.
Edit:
 This is some curly afro lookin fuzz mycelium that turned dark after it grew out. I found this in a thread from 3.5 years ago.

Do you have a better pic footpath? I've had many cultures look similar, however that leading edge looks very disorganized at least in this pic. If the myc filaments aren't coming out radially like cbk said it's very questionable.

Trust me, I feel ya. That frame was chosen very carefully from a video. No two points used for facial recognition are clear and no identifiable feature for me or the room other than a vaulted ceiling, and at least one of my eyes are brown. If anything I posted on here does me in, it won't be this picture.
I didn't intend to start a trend, but rock on!
