Thanks Bigfoot! Kind what I figured but thought I’d ask if ya made or used some sort of scooping tool. I’ll poke around the garage. I have some stainless TIG wire that I might be able to make something out of. Maybe even a larger leather punch like what D3 uses for transfers. Or a combo of things. I’ll post here when I get around to it

The next time I have to do pucks again I'll probably try out a pair of sterilized tweezers, but so far the scalpel worked just fine so idk. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Well here’s a breakdown of what I ended up doing:
 Made this biopsy tool using a 5/16” leather punch and 1/16-309 stainless TIG wire and the wife’s hair tie (she had a brand new pack)
 Suspected mold circled in red. Pan germ in blue.
 Bottom side of germ
 Screenshot of the transfer. I will admit it was stuck to the TIG wire a bit but came loose with a little turning action.
 Then I split transfer into 4 sections with flame sterilized blade
 What’s left in the puck
All in all I’m happy with what went down. Took about 20 minutes to make the tool up. I will keep it in the myco tool box

Spring load it. wrap a spring around the rod and attach it to the outer shell and you wont need that hair band.

It wouldn't be too hard to chuck that up in a lathe and turn the end down so its much thinner and easier to heat/cool...

 I'm going to make one of these soon. I have all the peices and grabbed a spring out of a pen I had laying around that was out of ink. It's one of the heavy springs you get with those fancy pens. No idea what the technical term is. Spring loaded agar wedge punch. Fancy.

It gets hot after one use. I like the spring load idea. The hair band will cause contam after a bit I’m sure. Not sure about agar transfers yet. Really liked it for the brf transfer. It got out the chunk I needed fast, that was the main idea behind it (because mold doesn’t care about you or me).

For flame I’m using a torch so it’s quick, I didn’t necessarily go red hot either. Rolled it around in the flame.

1-26-2021 Went back to the Toc T1 plate to grab these rhizo's. One of the transfers stuck inside the steel straw and I had to fish it out with the knife blade. When I pulled the puck out I noticed that there wasn't any myc on it. It stuck to the edge of the straw. I threw it on the T2 plate anyway. We'll see what it does.

1/28 Updated my op and it looks like I'm getting through a highly contaminated syringe, starting to see some reasonable growth on the third transfer. Really good feeling getting back into the swing of things. I've really picked up growing again and it's great to be seeing some progress again.

28/01/2021 I put my Tamps to WBS, I just chopped up my agar and put the whole thing in (it was a T1, first plate after germination). Hopefully it works out, I may learn things the hard way again. Might suck to clean WBS off truffles as well.
The APEr also went to WBS today (t1 as well).
Did a T1 of Zstrain and transferred some APEr as well just in case.
Highlight photo of filthyknee's American MONEY germination plate. I thought it was cool, because obviously it was going to be a lil dirty, thanks again filthy for this learning opportunity. I chose to transfer some of the germination spots quickly before some of those strange contams get too big. Whatever is on there germinated fast and hard.

Audible thumb twiddling.
Pan cyan BVI LC's coming along nicely:

And tamp/galindoi plates probably good to stick to grain soonish. Will get off my arse and do that soon.

 Got some ambitious AA+ myc jumping off onto some very dirty WBS! Wedges from T1 so who knows if they'll make it but still happy to see it. First grain jars since my return to cult and probably wouldn't be this far if not for LAGM. So thank you to all of you for pushing me to push myself! This is a victory for all of us (whether you like it or not)

Hello I am new here to the community and I am having a hard time navigating the website. I just want to know if anyone can tell me about ordering spores to my home in Illinois. Basically I just want to know if I’ll be ok legally? I’m doing it for science not to make profit or anything like that! If any one could please help a brother out that would be cool.
