What I said about transferring before the myc reaches the edge of the plate or what they said?

If the plate is clean neither matter. I do both all the time.
But specifically, i've never heard the "dont cut all the way to the bottom of the plate". I dont think thats a real thing. Maybe it is among the science scholars of reddit, that could be true.

I mostly work with my plates face down in the SAB and pick the filled side up and work with it at and angle such as the open side is facing somewhat downwards then it's always above my tools. Sure, contaminants may fall in the lid side, but it works pretty reliably for me. Sometimes such as when you're lifting your transfer out you will need to turn the open face upwards a bit so gravity is helping you control your transfer but I never work with the open plate on the 'floor'.

Yeah, I'm not really concerned about the edge of the plate either. Just remember reading it in a Stamets book and figured they might be getting their thing confused for the Stamets thing

Also mycelium grows outward in all directions so not grabbing the bottom of the plate does absolutely nothing.

I can't hold a blade steady enough to cut and pick up a small wedge. I placed a sharpened 8 g transfer needle on a syringe and shaped a bicycle some as a plunger to push out the plug. It's 3.4 mm I.D. now that I think about it I've had more contams than I'd like to see. I previously tried an innoc loop but it flexed too much. I'm going to try the clay sculpture tools.

No, less than a scalpel. Never gets too hot to handle, heat doesn't transfer up the straw even in long transfer sessions.

I got curious and looked up his/hers/their/its posts. And they were posting in the pub on a trans woman thread and got offended by looks of it. I dont see what was so offensive but appearently sex and gender was more important to them then every other aspect of this site.
I mean, it was in the pub, where its okay to offend, what did they expect?

Is there a method to make cuts without "ripping" or "dragging" rhizo growth off of the top of agar plates?
One reason I like the punch method is because the myc doesn't seem to rip.

I'll grab a set and give them a go as well. Quote:

Yep, I did the same. Parts of their posts in that thread are quoted by others. I really fail to see what stuck in their craw

Yes, use a sawing motion (up-down-up-down) when you are going "across the grain" of the mycelium to prevent that tear out.
