Well this is a new one for me. Going a little geometric. Didn’t have the lines when I took transfers. Just some fluffy run away edges acting weird on malt yeast agar

That's weird af. Myc always does weird shit when I use yeast, so i stick to plain mea these days

Is it safe to use sterile swab to make transfers or is cutting it with scalpel to make transfers cleaner or better?

I have some agar with myc I want to clean by moving to a new plate. Can I swab the myc and streak new plate?

Itll never be clear because brf doesnt dissolve completely like ME does. If you want clear get some LME and boil and  pour it through a cheescloth before PC, like I do in the guide in my sig. Crystal clear every time

Also why 30psi ? Why not 15psi for 20 min, the standard?

You could technically use anything sterile.. but scalpel is best for precision,  scalability, reuse, etc.. I love #7 handles

So I have these t2 transfer plates, and I am throwing one away due to contamination, and I was able to get some good surface pics. I am wondering why My second transfers are growing so damn slowly. Is it bacteria? If so how can i Get rid of it? My recipe for this agar is 500 ml water 15g agar 20g oat boil broth and a drop of honey. This transfer was done 2 weeks ago.



I know Its contaminated, but its a good example for how most of the transfers look. Very small and thin myc. I really need help figuring out how to get these to give me good healthy mushrooms in the future.
