Is this mycelium or contamination
    #26534182 - 03/14/20 08:29 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I am trying to grow oyster mycelium on agar. Not sure if this is healthy growth or some sort of white Mold. Anybody have experience with this?

Hey buddy,

This is contam, likely rhizopus because it is fluffy and white and extremely common in agar and SAB work. Also dead giveaway for me is that mushroom mycelium is uniform in growth, and it appears that the outer edges are forming stronger networks and is climbing up the sides. Mold tends to have not-so-uniform growth. If you see some green, its trich, but less likely indoors.

ALWAYS the best way to check is to smell! If it smells like mushrooms, cut out a piece and transfer.

Smells like sour/alcohol? Rhizopus
Smells like garbage?  Trich

Enjoy
