@phrontist I do like my half strength agar, same recipe but with half the ME (5g) and 1-2g Dextrose if you have it.

Something about this plate:

1) T3, completely unrelated to any other samples/sources
2) Looks what I would consider "weak" but
3) it seems to be colonizing the same rate horizontally.

Is this normal? It's also interesting because I can still see light cycle rings and didn't expect it.

I'm sorry yall I'm having to take segments this large out because they're not sticking to the scalpel. Better tooling maybe someday.

Try cutting small triangles, make sure you overcut so the triangle is completely free. . . Stab the triangle from the middle of one edge with just the tiniest tip of your scalpel at a downward angle of 30° or so. . .

Lift out and place on next plate. . .

Thanks MP. I’ll put that in my notes in case I have any dextrose and check it out. :thumbup:

So, I made agar for the first time yesterday. There are small bits of brownish material floating around in it, but the consistency seems about right. You guys think they’re okay? Did I need to heat it longer? Higher heat?

If you used lme then it should be ok. If you don’t boil/microwave it enough before the pc there’ll be sediment.

Are you using a recipe specifically for rhizo d3?

Cool you’ve got a lot of rhizo plates so I was wondering

Have you run that culture yet? I hope it’s a giant white Melmak with rust spores and ape potency.

It’s on grain right now but looks like maybe a tad too dry grain batch. Everything going looks like it’s stalling. Sucks cause it’s a good 20 jars or so of various strains

I have some barley extract that tends to leave some brown strands In the agar. Doesn't seem to affect it at all.

I was gifted that barley when my father gave up doing gormets. Scored a huge roll of parafilm, some agar and nutritive yeast. Have yet to use any yeast. Is it even worth adding? Typically I just use LME.

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Lol, thanks!

Gotta be something in the dye

Hey fellas-- do you think this Cuban plate is ready for dropping to rye, or do you see anything fishy about it.
It's a T4--

That 2-3 o'clock sector seems to be breaking out strong... but I'm not sure with the overall tomentose growth that it's ready for grain.

I’d be more worried about the bald patch followed by a wall at 6. Looks like it climbed over something

I have been working hard to get a clean plate-- but I've been plagued with very faint white mold/bacterial contam from this print that has blended in with the mycelium, so I've tried to pluck out sections away from it. I just can't seem to get it clean.

What do you think about that outer 2-3 section? Maybe a transfer from there to another tray.
