I've got super thick mycelial growth on all my t4 transfer plates currently running, they're 13 days in. Is this normal or indicative of stress? Bad pics soz but my camera's not the best. They're vertically fat also. What are ye thoughts!

Looks like healthy tomentose mycelium. I’ve seen that puffy halo on the outer circumference on certain varieties before, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. What variety is it?

The amounts matter. I'd say this is pretty normal looking growth for a higher nute agar. If this plate barely has any nutes I'd be worried. Since it's premix which probably wont be low nute I think this looks pretty good.

Interesting because the previous plate was fully rhizo. It's z-strain (:

Great to hear, cheers guys. I'm binning off LC's & going full a2g / g2g with these plates so glad they're doing well.

Ummm.... If you're sterilizing agar in a media bottle in the pc there is no reason to pre-boil. Just throw everything in the bottle and run the pc. No need to boil it so can you boil it.

Umm... just throw the powders and water in the bottle and PC? it will dissolve correctly without agitation?

That seems to be what you're implying, and if that's the case, boy, I feel dumb.

Has anyone done this? I want to do a bunch of transfers for inoculating grain jars with agar. My thought was taking my donor cup and adding an ml or two of sterile water to make an agar slurry. Then take an inoculation loop, dip it into the slurry and inoculate the other cups that way. Seems a lot quicker and easier than cutting samples out with a scalpel.  Any thoughts on this?

I just scrape hyphae from the surface of the agar or do an aerial transfer with an inoc loop, no need to make a slurry

These older ATL7 plates are starting to look mean

Edit: here's the bottom plate's LC on grain because I'm so excited. Inoculated on 23-04

Sounds even easier. My reasoning behind the slurry was to use a 5 or 10ul loop then transfer and streak the slurry a little to get more/faster colonization.

I think the cost of diminishing returns with the slurry is medium/medium-high. The difference may be observable, but I don't think it will be significant enough to warrant a second attempt. Let us know what you find out though if you do attempt for sure, be interested to know.

I just did 8 traditional transfers today, but still may give the slurry idea a go. If I do, I'll absolutely report my findings back here good or bad. Worst case scenario, I'll use the remaining slurry to inoculated some grains or a brf cake.  Have a great day!
