Having a noob moment
    #26465435 - 02/02/20 02:36 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

So this is my first time using agar. I made pasty plates. I made 3 PE6 with a swab someone gave me. I also made 3 Puerto Ricans from a print. That was on January 18. The PE6s didnt do anything which was quite disappointing but the PRs came out like this. All 3 of em. It kinda looks like myc to me but looks more wispy and puffy than most ive seen on this forum. Im just wondering if these are looking ok or need to be tossed. Thanks for your time and input.

Hey there SporeJunkie,

Welcome to agar! Where everything looks like nothing you've ever seen before!  :dancer:

Did you make any transfers yet to new dishes?

When starting off with spores or swabs or syringes or whatever to agar, you want to make transfers to new dishes long before the growth reaches the edges of the dish.

The transfer should be taken from the outer edge of new growth where the mycelium looks nice and organized and is growing rapidly.

If the dish grows out to the edge, it becomes difficult if not impossible to get a clean transfer while omitting the bad stuff that rides in on spores.

Yeah kinda what he said, but just grab a chunk that looks the same and transfer to a new dish. No worries if it reaches the edge.

Well no I havent made any transfers yet because Ive not been sure if they were healthy in the first place. Im also not able to start a grow atm so i was really just practicing a little. Do these look ok though?

Oh, I gotcha. I kind of did the same thing. I started last winter but only grew some mold and ran out of time before work started in the spring. So it was a crash course in the basics. Helped a lot so far this winter as things seem more familiar and less alien the second time around.

Anyway, your plates look like lots of things germinated and grew all over the plate.

Some good things, probably also some not so good things.

HERE is a post with lots of photos of shroom mycelium in all stages of growth. I refer back to this a lot as I'm watching my cultures grow.

Yeah man thats whats got me worried, the not so good stuff. It doesnt seem like anything terrible if anything at all. I just have no idea at this point. If anyone can identify with certainty itd be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking though man.

Nothing to worry about. Especially if you don't plan to grow those dishes out anyway.

Hope you find the answers you seek! Good luck.

You need to take transfers with a flame sterilized xacto knife or sterile scalpel blades. If it’s just one transfer, your best bet would be to sterilize the sharpest knife in your house and use that for one or two transfers inside of a SAB.
