Contaminated agar plates vs fuzzy mycelium
    #28384847 - 07/04/23 01:16 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hey fellow shroomers

I have some Jack Frost plates (pics below).

Two are obviously very contaminated given the overly obvious green coloring. The rest of the plates have no signs of discoloration but are fuzzy.

I plan on keeping these to see if they pin, but curious if anyone thinks the white plates are also contaminated or thinks theyโ€™re fine.

Thanks all!

Gotta ask why you even have those very green plates still lmao. Mustโ€™ve turned like a hot minute ago. For the rest idfk where youโ€™d even transfer off those messes.

haha yeah ngl was just curious to see how fast the contam would grow

as for the others, I don't plan on transferring unless they pin, I have much better transfers that I plan on using, but I'm curious if the fuzzy is just aerial mycelium or if it's contam

So the white growth is Tomentose, pretty much, right?

Just out of curiosity are you using a flow hood or SAB?

Left row, top plate.

I would transfer from that rhizo looking growth at about 5 o clock where the parafilm is coming off (in case you haven't already made transfers).

Like others have said make sure you get rid of that contaminated plate ASAP.

    #28385669 - 07/05/23 06:50 AM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hey thanks I appreciate it!

I took transfers from better looking plates, Iโ€™ve only kept these to see if they pin, or what happens to them over an extended period of time (and to check if theyโ€™ll contam, but it looks like aggressive tomentose)

Hereโ€™s some pics of the second round of transfers that Iโ€™ll be transferring again today. Any recommendations on which plates and sections look best?

Note: 4 plates are 2nd transfer Jack Frost, the one plate is Yeti from multispore

PS: please forgive the one plate, I dropped it and the transfer piece fell off

Red lines where are good spots to transfer from as well as arrows. Let those 2 plates grow out.

Thanks Cocaine!

That's exactly where I did the transfers from, so we'll find out soon enough!

From what you could tell on those plates, it looks like Tomentose right - not contam?

I wouldn't trust the areas where the white fizzles out.

Meaning, where it becomes less dense?
