I can read cubes better than reishi. if this player was changed i work tis it cause of the pink line in the streak.

that said, it is reishi. i don't feel great about it. three other six LCs look great; i'll post the test plates soon.

anybody know if this is good or i toss the LC?

That doesn’t look like reishi, and yeah it doesn’t turn red, yellow or brown sure, but not red.

Found a picture, it’s not a good picture but it’s reishi

On potato dextrose agar, Fusarium spp. produce white, lavender, pink, salmon or gray-colored colonies (which readily change in color) with velvety to cottony surfaces.

No I think that is Geotrichum sp., G. candidum, Sporendonema sp. or S. purpurascens

I've been reading way back on this thread and there is a ton of useful info here.

After several successful brf cake runs, I'm going to start my journey into working with agar this week. I'm looking forward to learning a shit ton, while expecting to make many mistakes along the way.

The cakes have kept more than enough of a steady supply going for me so I'll still have a couple runs of those happening while working towards my first bulk runs.
