But your guess is as good as mine, and just to be safe I transferred from a spot well away from there.

Trich is a parasite and will gladly grow right alongside and intertwined with it. Alot of what people call trich on this site is actually aspergillum and penicillium, neither of which are great but IME they dont spread to anything healthy and mostly grow on rotten fruits or grains that werent fully colonized.

A.k.a said: I also have zero germination on my plates from the first. I poured plates with a different recipe after a week and redid them and they all went off within a few days, so had to be something they didnβt like about the first agar mix.
Curious minds just wanna know. I read your log. Could you tell us what the two agar recipies were. And, if you didn't mention it, what variety responded this way?

transfers are about to happen, around 7 oclock on the right side of the plate. This transfer will go to a PP5 no pour Holy grail plates to be exact and in about a week they should hopefully be going to grain

1/18 ---- started 24 hr wbs soak before leaving for work
1/19/ ----- -woke up early started straining wbs 1hr -loaded up quart mason jars 3/4 full, did 8 jars about half full to try out some t1 plates -pc 90 min at 15psi took most of the day as I can only fit 10 jars per run, 2 runs of jars and 3 grain spawn bags for other projects. after each cycle, let pc cool before removing jars/bags and starting next run.
1/20 ---- picked the 4 best t1 plates of aa+ and pan cyan and put to grain masters. will most likely g2g the aa+ to grain spawn bags for expansion. I plan on using the pan jars for several different options might put a few to wood chips as I had planned on starting a few outdoor patches this year; going to try some spawned to coir, as well as try different substrate options.

This took an hour to read.. Looks fun, might be too late to start up and join in the fun. I recently dusted off some prints from 2014, I don't have high hopes but I put them to agar. I also had a swab from some PE uncut from 2017 which was my most recent endeavor before retirement. I put it to agar last night, time will tell I guess.

it's all good footpath! I've been kind of flying under the radar 
here's my
Update for 1/20:
I cased the better 2 of the dog shit jars. The other one was PC'd for 2 hours and dumped in the garden. blech. looked like aspergillus, which tracks with what I usually find on a contam'd petri around here. I had some previously hydrated coco sitting in a cooler. It was a little on the dry side but I put it on top of the jar and gave it a good misting, just til it turned a shade darker brown. here they are:

It's not the end of the world if these don't work out.
The big part of the update though is a tek I've been working on that I spawned my remaining PESA 2112 jar to (the good LC that is in my shoeboxes, not one of the dog shit jars) and was able to document the prep process for.
Gift bags I have some friends interested in mycology but they don't have the time, resources, or deep burning desire to make their own shit like those of us here at the shroomery might. So I thought about what a manageable way to share the beauty of growing your own mushrooms with friends might be, when I looked down at my take out container and thought it looked like the perfect size to make a little grow box out of. I tested it with some left over GT grain when I spawned a tub last month. So here it goes with documentation this time:
Get some take out containers. you don't have to be picky, anything with a lid to retain moisture will do. Far left container was something a friend brought me some short ribs in a few weeks back My dinner tonight came in one of the others:
1 myco quart jar of spawn makes four containers. Which means you put a 1/4 myco quart of spawn in each one. These are oats:

put about a 1/2 quart of the sub you like in there. I used two "handfuls." this is straight coir after bod's coir tek.:
 mix it up real nice:

I cased with a handful, or about a half pint (1/4 quart) of coir:

I generously misted the tops in the manner of a shoebox, as well as the inside of the lid. For delivery, keep the lid tight in case shit bounces around. When your friend receives the gift, tell them to lightly crack 2 opposite corners to get a little gas exchange going. These are small as hell and I'd be scared they'll dry out quick if they go right to the next phase without someone who knows what they're looking for watching them. You could also wait until they've colonized and give them away at that point if you'd like to make it even easier for them.

Once the casing is colonized, they should take the lid off and put them in the plastic bag you delivered them in, give the inside of the bag a good mist, then tie it loosely and leave it somewhere with some ambient light that stays above 65F or so. A kitchen counter or something:

For the most part, they should leave them the fuck alone. I opened the bag and gave it another mist every few days, whenever I noticed the condensation on the bag walls starting to go away. Last Thursday, 22 days from spawn, I had these little buddies:

pins for flush 2 are coming in right now

spot on.
And of course the shoeboxes as posted above are going as planned. These are my 5th and 6th shoeboxes now and I think I'm finally getting the hang of them.
 GIVEAWAY 
I haven't changed my status from tired in some time. I'm fucking tired y'all. Life sucks right now. But growing mushrooms with all of you and reading about everyone's projects and plans has been a major bright spot. Part of the reason I went for the race is that shit is about to get very hectic for me and in a little while I'll probably have to take a few months off from all this. If I do win the prints I'd like to do a giveaway to pay it forward. Life being the energy you put out in to the universe, not what you take and all that.
I'll make a poll, LAGM growers can vote on a print from the contest bounty for me to grow. I'll do a shoebox at the end of summer, and I'll clone the best looking fruit from that and do a tub, make prints from it, and send those out to anyone who finishes a grow log by the end of 2020 and wants a print or two.

Footpath are there bubbles in your agar? 

Why is that? Maybe it's not important. But it seems like a flaw in technique. No offense certainly from this noob, my agar has bits of potato floating around. .........

It is indeed a flaw in my technique. I believe it usually happens if you agitate it too much and don't let it settle before pouring. Which makes sense when you've polished off a bottle of wine before pouring.
As far as I know, it doesn't cause any issues other than aesthetic.

I get bubbles in the surface more since I started reheating agar. I think it is due to agitation. I shake\swirl the jar after melting to remix. This makes a bit of a foam\layer of small bubbles on top. These will go away with time but I don't wait and just pour. The bubbles will sit on top of plate (usually the last few) and since the plate is thinner it solidifies before the bubbles dissipate.
I haven't seen any negative effects from this, though I also can't say with 100% certainty that there are not any.
