Mycelium or contam
    #26931047 - 09/12/20 12:40 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Please help out an amateur hobbyist, not sure if its mycelium or bacteria.

This is a sacrificial plate I've got 4 others just like it they hard to see through the lids so I had to pop one open




Smells like fresh mushies to me

That's not gonna tell you whether it's contaminated or not...

You could make some agar with activated charcoal and do more transfers to get rid of contams and the black agar will help to differentiate myc from contams.

Do that if you want, or just use regular agar and transfer a piece from the leading edge of that to the new plate.

I’d put it in a grain jar.  I’ve had plates like that grow out fine.  You’ll see the myc you want on your grains in about a week.  Observe from there, and then toss or do G2G

Much better idea to get a clean culture first before hoping you can spot contamination on grain...

Lol I'm going with @Forrester advice after all this is the reason we use agar to spot contam and isolate strains
