Top left looks best for sure, but another clean transfer (or maybe even 2) might really give you added assurance. And like Weavie said, when you transfer, throw a lil wedge in a small tester jar while youโ€™re at it. Not a lot to lose, might catch things early.





cheers Weavie and Boozie,

Now that is weird. Had some oysters Tam up about 6 plates before. Had company over. I was playing right beside one of my exit ducts. Makes me wonder how much spore I've inhaled. What do you guys give me for odds on bringing these forgotten plates back??




I'd sure hate to lose a few of these. But no worries. It's shrooms. Damn. Fingers crossed. The problem is. They're potent AND pit out like a well trained whore. If you know what I mean. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The FDA have a "Bacteriological Analytical Manual" or "BAM" for short.
It catalogues many agar and liquid culture (referred to as broth in the manual) recipes.
I assume these recipes are used as a standard for labs all across the united states.


Each recipe is numbered.
Potato Dextrose Agar, for example, is M127.

They have a few recipes that we will all be familiar (with a twist, it seems).

Quote:

M182 Malt Extract Agar (for culturing yeasts and molds)

Malt extract, powdered 20.0 g
Glucose         20.0 g
Peptone         1.0 g
Agar                 20.0 g
Distilled water 1 liter





I can't resist sharing this recipe.

Quote:

M185 Sheep Blood Agar

Blood agar base (Oxoid No. 2) 95 ml
Sterile sheep blood, defibrinated 5 ml





Where the fuck would one procure sterile sheeps blood lmao

GhostHunter, that's cool as heck.


Do you recall when those dishes were made and the recipe you used?

Did you pour in front of a hood?




Prob 2ish months ago, a few still looked not-too-dry (that one included). Used FreshCapMushroom's agar video tek on youtube for the recipe (basic MEA I believe) and BOD's method for microwaving/PCing the bottle.

No filter (yet) and I'm super stocky so I opt to sanitize an entire 4x4 grow tent and do G2G/agar work in there rather than trying to navigate a SAB.

Somewhat open air but I generally avoid contams as long as I avoid having a smoke beforehand and make sure to change into fresh clothes.

One of my friends works in a microbiology lab, might fish it out of the trash tn and mail it over to her to see if its fungal or bacterial.

Ghost, that's a fungus, bacteria don't show that growth pattern.

Sheep's blood is used for detecting pathogens as you can observe hemolysis.

A couple plates of cordyceps I forgot to stick in the fridge. Basically taken up the entire volume of the dish and lid, trying to bust out through the sides. Like I microwaved a marshmallow inside the plate

I thought so too based off growth pattern but the lab friend said otherwise (ie theres been found bacteria showing rhizo growth), cant seem to find anything on traffic cone orange mycelium growing on google either.

I don't know if I've landed on a go to for dishes yet but I just ordered a box of 500 for about that price.

Are those polystyrene? Any big problems that are deal breakers?

You want good inexpensive petris? These are good. It was about $110 with shipping for 500.
https://www.southernlabware.com/petri-dish-polystyrene-90-x-15mm-sterile-500-cs.html

Work well, ship quick enough. Listing says 20 per bag, but arrived in bags of 10, not 20, so easier to not have leftovers when making up a batch. When getting down to the end, pour that last 10 thicker or thinner and it works. With 20 per bag that doesn't always work.

Also says 100 mm but measure as 90mm. And the URL has
90-x-15mm-
in it.

So this place is bad at listing catalog info but sells good Petris. I like 90 cm better than 100 cm too. Use less agar, take up less room if you have a lot poured. I'm usually transferring or sending to grain before even a 90 mm is filled.

They have ventilation ribs (for her pleasure!) so wrap it well.

I know of one other person on here who also uses this vendor for Petris no problem.

Some I ordered from a better known place (and cost $70 more per 500) had about 10% of bags punctured. I didn't notice until had in storage for over three months, so too late to return. It may have happened from shipping, I don't know. But Southern is good.
