Cleaning agar contam
    #26924268 - 09/08/20 08:13 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hi, Newby here... I've got some contam on my agar. I don't have any more agar. Is there any reason I can't cut the contam out of the agar and leave the good Mycelium behind to grow, rather than cutting out the good Mycelium and transferring it?

Thanks for any help.

super bad idea, the agar it already infected so you cannot use it anymore, the only thing you can do is buy more agar and make some new plate or try the hot pour agar tek

Yeah, because you're risking spreading anything thats on it. If you cut through something you can't see, you just dragged it through more agar. If you're new to this, I can't imagine your agar hands are dialed in well enough that you won't drop it or fumble it.

Just get more agar

Not if you're doing it right. You're supposed to cut the good mycelium that's outgrown the mold and contamination. Go to the agar envy thread and read a few posts when people put pics up asking where to pull from. Someone usually gives great advice. With that you can see what I mean

Ok, I'll take a shot. I would want more wedges than are available
In that  specimen. IMHO it looks like only around 6:00 is worthy.
So I'd transfer for a better plate.
