Slightly off-colored layer in LC -- contamination or normal?
    #28178659 - 02/09/23 02:01 AM (1 year, 11 months ago)

This jar of LC is full of fluffy mycelium but the top layer is a different color than the rest. This is the first time I've grown an LC like this, so I'm not sure if it's because of the genetics or contamination.

It's kind of hard to see the off-colored layer from the still images so I uploaded a video as well.

Thanks!

Sterilizing all my tools and space,to ensure not a single spore is out of place.
I carefully select the fungal strain and onto the agar, I make it rain.
With a steady hand and gentle touch, I inoculate the plate without a hitch.
Success is sweet when it's pure and true, and my agar plates are a testament too. A job well done, with no contamination, my fungi inoculation, a thing of  admiration.

Dang it, thanks. Do you have any guesses as to what the nature of the contamination is? I proofed this liquid onto agar plates and they grew white with patches of slight orange tinge. It didn't look like two separate organisms so I'm not really sure how I would isolate.

Just based on your description and the video. Fulgio genus slime mold.
