It went from an MEA plate to an MEA plate with charcoal and yeast extract. The new nutes definitely tripped it up for a good week. It was so weird seeing the change from a ropey jump off to instant transparency.

thank you.

Does charcoal act as a nute? I thought it was just for that goth charm. Someone said mycelium eats food coloring but not charcoal.

Do you think it was mostly the yeast extract?

Do you think it was transferring from one nute to another? If so, that's worth some experimentation. Let me know please what thread to sub if you start on that!

Do you think there is any chance this is APE myc? It's almost as high as it is wide, it's on a obviously very contaminated plate, it doesn't look like it should and it's not where I swabbed.... but it is uniform, it is eating the food dye and it is growing at myc speed, no quicker.

It looks nothing like healthy myc I've seen before but it's from one of the swabs Roarkell kindly sent me and I would love to save one so if there is even a 1% chance I'll transfer.

That looks fine to me.


It’s just a little tomentose, plus germ plates look weird a lot of the time.

Thanks AKA it looks weirdly less suspect in the photos than it actually does. It's really fluffy and round. I'll definitely transfer away though and see what happens.

Is a germ plate the plate you germinate spores on, as opposed to the one you transfer to?

I have a general question about agar, do you have to use something with FAE to tape Petri dishes shut (micropore, parafilm), or can you use a non-porous clear packing tape?

Can knocked-up plates be stuck in a box in a closet, or do they have to "breathe" a bit?

thank you

Yeah a germ(ination) plate is the one you germinate spores on. In regards to the FAE, a lot of people use saran wrap/cling wrap on their dishes with great success. I don't see why packing tape wouldn't work, but it would be annoying to take off when you want to work with the plates. They technically do need to breathe a bit, but if they're growing slowly, the rate of oxygen consumption drops off pretty drastically. At low temperatures you can probably store them without any fresh air for a pretty long time, like a couple months maybe? I know a lot of people have good success storing cultures in the fridge long term.

Packing tape isn't flexible... I doubt it would work.

In respect to adjusting to new nutes... my agar drops are taking longer to leap off in my millet bags than in my wheat bags, could that be a reason? (agar & LME plates)

Is food cling wrap porous? I assume packing tape is not?

Trying to diagnose mold vs cube without a microscope is like trying to learn history from a religious text.



ha!

Nichrome said:
You can tell the difference between Fungi Imperfecti vs Fungi Perfecti by the way it forms. Mold is a bunch of individuals that live together and run next to each other. Higher fungi intertwine and join and split and rejoin. You can see that in that photo with the naked eye although without experience in mycroscopy it would be hard to tell the difference with the naked eye. For sure you have some kind of higher fungi (mushroom) mycelium and not mold.


Here's a photo I took, cube spores on agar and what looks like cube mycelium. Do you confirm?

I've yet to take a good pic of mold mycelium next to cube mycelium. But I  circled in red what I think may be 2 bacterium. What do you think?

thank you




You have a bunch of stuff going on there that is not cube mycelium.


This is healthy cube germination...

And if I was to change the nutes in my agar... what could I use that is more millet-like? (that is repeatable and measurable)

Millet grain soak water, you could probably put some millet in a food processor and use it instead of brf in brf agar.

I just saw that a local mill (bob's red mill) makes a millet flour. Could I try the same weight of millet flour in the stead of the LME?
