Healthy mushroom mycelium, or mold?
    #26492311 - 02/18/20 06:54 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hey y'all, prepared my first batch of agar last week (liquid malt extract—didn't know to use powdered) and inoculated it in a still air box following Bodhisatta's instructions, doing my best to follow them to the letter. Sealed my plates with plastic wrap, and put them into a warm environment to turn into mycelium, and I'm seeing growth on every plate now.

But obviously, I'm new to this, so I don't know if what I'm seeing is right. Three plates are definitely contaminated, two with what people seem to ID as penicillium, one with something kinda translucent that doesn't seem to be growing well. The rest look like the photos below, with the growth along where I zigzagged using the disposable inoculation loop.




Do they look like early mushroom mycelium, or more like mold? And as for my contaminated plates (not pictured), am I good chipping the agar out and washing+sterilizing them before reusing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I can’t give specifics, because I don’t know them. But, I wouldn’t keep growing those. It looks like no healthy cube mycelium I have seen. But, I admit I haven’t seen it all.

Start some more plates anyway... just in case no one else comes along and confirms/denies, in which case, take my word for it and start over again.
