Mold or Mycelium?
    #28373638 - 06/25/23 03:51 AM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Its my first time in trying to cultivate mushrooms on agar plates. I am aware that this plate is contaminated but I am not sure if this white fuzzy stuff is mycelium or mold. If someone could give his opinion I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance

You have some myc in the middle but it's going to be hard to transfer that away seeing as the entire plate is caked in bacteria.

If you really wanted to save it, pour agar without nutes (water agar) and transfer to that. It'll grow thinner and slower but your myc should outrun the bacteria and you can then transfer healthy growth to regular nute plates.

I transfered two pices of plate to an agar that conatins antibiotics.
Do you think it will work or is it best to go through process you mentioned above?

Antibiotics have nothing to do with mycology.

That's how you create antibiotic resistant super bacteria.

:whattefuck2:

Just use water agar as already suggested.
