Agar issues
    #26593656 - 04/11/20 02:33 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

I have grown mushrooms before and just finished my 2nd flush on some cakes that I intended to clone from. I started my agar journey January of this year using Fungi Perfecti's MEA pre-mixed. I followed directions and used Bods and C10's agar guide.

After i parafilmed my plates I let them sit for a day or two then put them in the fridge.My agar looked good, but had some condensation issues the first time and it looked like bacteria on some plates and the other there was no growth for weeks.

So I tried a new batch of agar and instead did half the recipe to dilute the agar amount. Again I let sit for a couple of days and then put in the fridge.Condensation was worse but did the hot cup trick. Its been almost 2 weeks and there is nothing growing. Each dish looks like the day I made em.

Not sure whats going on or what to try next? I cant imagine something is wrong with FP's premix can i?

any suggestions?

p.s.  BTW I inoculated using clones, syringe, and spore prints.

You’re keeping them in the fridge??

If you are that’s probably why, too cold for growth.

If they’re at room temp then spores can take awhile but clones should have growth in a couple days.

I put a plate in the fridge if I find a culture I wanna keep or if its getting close to the edge and I don't have anything to transfer it to
