Man that second culture looks like something I've had a lot in the past. I recommend killing it with fire. Mycovirus. The cultures have permormed like shit and I wouldn't risk whatever it is spreading. But that's just my experience.

When I do spores I usually start a couple plates just for this kind of situation since they take longer. I haven't done anything with it yet anyways and it does look odd. Time to check to see what my other plates look like. Thanks for the observation either way as I am still learning.

Yeah what dend said. Idk what it is but I’ve had a few cultures scallop like that and no matter how well I tried to clean them up nothing ever looked good. One culture I took to T10 before saying fuck it, it ain’t gonna happen.

I’d try to take it to T3 or 4 just to see if you can get a clean looking culture, especially from spores. It’s pretty common to see contamination on your plates when streaking spores. Plus since you said you’re new then it’s just extra practice. Seems like your other culture is doing fine, so you can roll with that one while trying to clean up the second culture

I fuckin did it! Just look at these bad boys. I also took way longer than I had anticipated, not the pouring part but the rest of it.

Either way, I'm happy to have had a successful first pour under my belt. I'll be more stoked if they end up on the clean side.

Good idea to keep a couple untouched to judge my sterile technique?

Nice work for your first try! Yeah leave them for a week or so at room temp to see if any contamination appears. If not, you should be good to go!

They look great. And yes to what Myc said. I was about to say same. I leave them taped like that and stack them back into the sleeves from whence they came. lol.

Here's what I have today, is GTA, Grand Theft Agar...no, it's Grain-to-Agar transfer. Clones of spawned single millet or such from WBS jar of x7x stipe clone right before I sent jar to SB.

This may be a stupid question,.. I know you can get agar with activated charcoal, but If I just wanted to add black food coloring to my agar recipe, would it work?

Just my 2 cents but I couldn't get food coloring to make it black black.

The black gel color gets it jet black, maybe it's just the brand I use.

NAT plate looking lovely as always, eaten all the blue and turned some of it red.

3 drops of this per 500mL of media is my jam. :rockon: It loses its color as it gets eaten.

3rd or 4th time working with agar, but my first ever clones! I did two plates per mushroom, 4 mushrooms total (B+).


I prepped 40 plates total, so I have extras ready to go for this. Previously I've only poured what I needed at the time.

I'm happy with my pours. This agar round I didn't quite shake one of the bottles enough, but the temps were perfect (minimal condensation, best I can do without a flow hood I think). (poured at 45.5-46 Celcius).

Use activated charcoal. It makes plates so black that you ask "how much more black can they be?" and the answer is "None."

Plus it's a nutrient.

Plus it somehow doesn't fade as the eat it, because there's more underneath, I suppose.

Thank you! That tek was very helpful.. You actually  answered  my next set of questions before I could ask.. (how much charcoal  to use and what the benefits  were) :cheers:

Ooooo that does look pretty! My first thought was: encase it in resin. But I imagine that wouldn't work for several reasons, huh...

Is that an Oyster variant?

Hey does anyone have any good cling cutting technique ? I can't for the love of fucking god cut it clean. I spent like 10 minutes sharpening my huge butchers knife and the rolls still get stuck and break. Saw knives are even worse.
