Veil remnants on prints?

I was printing some AA+ and found that they left some veil remnants covered with spores on the foil. Should I be concerned about this becoming a vector for contamination? I can't really scrape them off the prints, so I'm wondering if I should keep those ones or not. I've found with AA+ that the veils break from the inside out vs the outside in (if that makes sense), so they are more prone to this happening vs other strains.

Prints are dirty because they are fruited in open air. I would try to use the area of the print without the veil. Then clean it up on agar.

I took 15. Not all have remnants but a fair amount do. I'm thinking I'll see if I can remove the worst of it and cull the ones that have too much. Next time I'll make more of an effort to remove the veils completely before I print. Usually this isn't an issue, but for some reason this flush of AA+ did't leave their veils attached to the stipe. Its my first time with them, so maybe that's just how they are?

Interesting question. Im gonna guess the veils are a vector for infections but the best way to find out is to place some of the veil/spores on some agar and see what happens

Yeah, my thoughts are the same – veil remnants seem like a vector for contams. I took the prints for strain storage and trading so I want to make sure they are "stable" and there isn't a little chunk of veil rotting away in between the foil. I'm going to make a final judgement call once I've let the spores dry out a bit longer.

When printing if there are veil remnant on the cap I try to pick it off with the very tip of my scalpel blade. I don't let it touch the gills just barely pick at it then when you get it and pull away the rest of the veil remnants should come with it. I do this before printing so the veil doesn't end up in the print. It can be tricky to grab it without touching the gills though. I still keep prints that end up with veil remnants but try not to use that portion of the print.

Good call. I'll be doing this in the future! It was silly of me to think that it would just "resolve itself" when I saw some remnants on the caps. I guess its a reflection of how I deal with other stuff in my life. Lol

Yeah I had the same thing with aa in particular.
It actually is probably a good thing though, I figure the veil keeps the gills cleaner.
I just cut the veil off before printing.
I do have some prints with little pieces of veil on them though. Dried up you can’t really tell cuz it gets so small, especially covered in spores.
