So mold, or Myc? * 1
    #26469281 - 02/04/20 09:11 PM (4 years, 12 days ago)



So the question I have because Im having a hard time regenerating old spores.... This is mold right? I feel like I have 0 experience all of a sudden and have never had a plate that looked this fluffy.

Backstory: All my prints are dead, and I swabbed this off of a fruiting tray I left sit in an old dirty garage in open weather for 3 years. I have isolated it a few times to try and get the good growth and clean up what I assumed was clean Myc. At this point I am starting to thnk that I am just propagating mold instead of mycelium. Does anyone ever have a  day when you think, fuck is anything that I am doing right? This is the first time I have questioned my cultivation technique and I feel like a total noob. I think it is out of desperation and anxiety that I am posting this because I have years of experience cultivating, and all of a sudden when all of my cultures are gone I feel lost.


Here are some more pictures of the agar that the transfer came from.





  Tell me what you think, Mycelium that is very tomatose or mold?

Looks like a mix in the donor. Transfer is mold.

Yeah that is what I was worried about...

The Cobweb, which I am assuming it is, is so dense.. I don't know if I can ever get a chance to grab some good myc.

The petris you transfered from are a hot mess. Whenever I encounter a mold contam like that, I throw em away and start over. I have yet to successfully seperate a mushroom culture from mold. Not saying its impossible, but it will most likely be more work than its worth.

Mycelium not mold. If it were mold you'd see spores by now. Often they swap their pattern when you xfer. Looks fine to me.

Ill be streaking another germ plate here soon

Wtf lol. Half the thread says it’s mold, the other half says it’s myc.

I’m freaking out a bit cause that’s how most of my 1st transfers look. Have I been growing mold with my mush?

Box it and find out. Should be fine though.
Usually mold brings other shit and things get interesting in a plate. Looks clean.

All my gt stuff was super thick and fuzzy until like four transfers in.

It looks ok to me but I haven’t done a ton of agar yet.

Here are some updates to help settle the debate.




  I think this is really just fluffy myc, But, it grows really fast on agar. These are from the ones I didn't make transfers from.

mycology is A GREAT skill.

you can do everything right and then everything goes perfectly.

but then there is that voice of doubt which really complicates thing.

but caution is better than being oblivious

i mean i just read a post saying that rr said myc can go from tomentose to ryzho interchangably. spelling words is fun.

if its mold you know, you just know. its fast as fuck, and take more space and condensation will be more in the dish cause i feel the mold produces more gas cause its a little opportunistic shit.

put it on grain. just see.  the beginning grow is a fucking nightmare. im in the same spot
