Is it all looking good? Should I just transfer the fastest growth?

First tub of Bispos coming in. One big chonker. The empty areas have small pins forming so the second flush might look more full. Can also see my second flush of Tamps coming in below that:

Nice LC containers! Do those caps have ports or do you just unscrew them?

Panny, that myc doesn't look like what I'm used to seeing, but that could just be the agar that it's on. I've read that some cultures don't like food coloring. I expect the growth to be uniform by T2, so it should be making a nearly perfect circle instead of looking like a snowflake pattern. If you have grain I would go ahead and take it to grain and see what it does.


Hindsight, those are some pretty bispos and tamps! I already miss growing a lot, Spring needs to hurry up and get here!

Good to see you here! Sending energy to you and yours!

Looking a little ragged. Maybe make some transfers to a non-coloured agar?

That's a wonderful cap in the middle there!

I love those little 250ml media bottles. They are perfect for small lc batches. I'm buying a ten pack at the end of the month and forgoing mason jars for lc.


My first batch of pan cakes has colonized pretty well. The only iffy parts are compost clumps I didn't break up well enough I'm going to try fruiting them anyway. Might shift my compost next run so I don't have little clumps of it.being partially frozen didn't help either. Hopefully I get at least a fruit. Dialing the Martha and my first run of cakes makes for a ton of variables up in the air at the same time.

Hmmm, this makes sense. Anytime I see people posting pics of Pan mycelium on agar is looks a lot more dense and uniform that what I have. I also use bottled water for agar, could this also be a problem? I'm not sure if most of you use distilled water, or is tap water good enough most of the time?

I have used tap water, reverse osmosis filtered tap water, and bottled distilled water. I use the latter now just because it's an easy way for me to rule out any additional variables the could be responsible for something screwy going on. The fewer things I have to wonder about being the problem, the better, so I go distilled. Having said that, I've never really noticed any difference between the three water types, personally, but I do know that public water quality changes over time, and most bottled water has minerals or electrolytes added for taste (calcium, silica, etc) and I don't know how much effect these can have on mycelium.
