I’ve got T0 plates from a spore swab I want to keep but 2/4 each have a bacterial satellite near the opposite edge.. that are not touching the mycelium.

Can I assume the bacterial satellites are localized to where they are colonizing?
I ask because if so, I’ll just remove the agar surround it entirely in like a [-] pattern to prolong the viability of the plate.

All of my previous growing experience has been with “typical” looking cube varieties. Looking to spice things up and do some work searching for weird and wonderful genetics from spore.

What varieties would you folks recommend as good starting points for the aspiring pheno hunter?

I’d like to grow a leucistic or albino for the lols or perhaps something likely to produce brain-shaped cock mutants

Apes can look like UFOs too



or like Broccoli...

Itll work, but why not just transfer before the myc reaches it?

If I bottom water a fruiting shoe box will it cause all the fruit to abort?

I'm planning on throwing out the shoeboxes after this flush is done but wanted to see if I could get some larger caps from the final flush for prints.

if it happened to all plates without exception then the agar wasn't properly sterilised.

edit:given you used a SAB in a more or less proper way i should add..

There's no guarantee they will grow any bigger, and it's even less likely the caps alone would get bigger.  Some people do bottom water during the first flush though.  At least I've heard of it.

Bottom watering should be fine, but you don't want there to be a bunch of extra water for too long.  I don't know what the consensus is, but I'd say dump out the extra after 12 hours.  That number can vary, but you don't want it like that for days and days.
