What do you guys think is in this plate? It's not growing on top or on bottom, it's looks to be more within the agar. I hadn't changed my process which has severed me well for years. The only thing I can think of is maybe the LME is too old? The agar recipe (LME and agar) as well as the PC process used were the same as I've always used but all of a sudden this started showing up in most the plates. Do you think it's some sort of sediment and the plate is okay to use?

Honestly. That kind of looks like the remnants of potato flake when I don’t completely dissolve it in my agar. Just watch it.

Majority I’ll say a pray and flush them, but if they are pretty or chubby, I’ll play taxidermist and keep them in cryovials for an afterlife.

Haha, that’s cool.

The first print I made failed I think. It was very light and had water drops on the print but I let it dry and tried to get it into a syringe but that was easier said than done. It seems like the spores got stuck to the plastic on the inside of the syringe. :thumbdown:
I made some jars just to try and see if it works anyway.


This is my second print, looks much better. Now I need to learn how to properly get it into a syringe.



You make as many spore syringes as you want. I do.

As others have mentioned a print is better than a MSS. Making a MSS just dilutes the spores and creates additional unnecessary vectors.

Still learning the search function but I'm having trouble finding any write ups on Master/inoculation jars. Are there any up to date explanations on the process and follow up steps like storage/use? Wondering for educational purposes. Links would be greatly appreciated. :crazy2:


Mushlove! :mushroom2:

EDIT: I did see Revs recent post on Li cultures, but I was wondering about alternative options.

When do you know when to take a second transfer when cleaning on agar? I made my first transfer when it looked like this:


It's been about 5 days and they have definitely spread out on the dishes but the myc is so light that I couldn't even good a picture of it. It's probably spread out about an inch from the center. But it looks like it's still very delicate at this point.

Then I took another couple transfers from the original dish 2 days ago because the myc had gotten much thicker and ropier, so it looked stronger. That dish has already gotten some extra  sprouts off it and they are much thicker strands.

Besides my wonky, not thoroughly mixed plates, I don't see much in the way of contamination. Should I just let them go until they are more solid white and ropey? Or is there a tek I'm missing that shows when it's good to make the next transfer?

This is about as good as I could get. You can see I put 3 transfers on this same dish. It's spreading out but it's very light looking. Should I just leave it a while longer? Like I said, this is about 5 days of growth since that picture above.


Here is the original plate today, obviously a little mangled from transfers being taken:


And here is the transfer I took 2 days ago after it got a lot fuller. Not as much growth but it's coming in a lot thicker.

Hey again folks, I would appreciate if some better trained eyes could have a look at this transfer I made a few days ago. And FYI, the growth was perfectly uniform before yesterday when I made two further transfers from the lower part of this plate.

The thing is, my agar plates were poured hot, which I think led to a layer of water on top of the agar, and the mycelium is very wet as a result. But, I'm not sure what I can do about it now.

My question is: does this water-drenched growth look like cube myc to you or am I simply growing mold? Hopefully my pictures provide enough detail. Thanks!



Both pictures are of the same plate.


The three transfers I've taken from the plate above look like this now:

Plate #1:


Plate #2:


Plate #3 (this transfer was made just 2 days ago with a new recipe):


How do these plates strike you? Sendable once grown? To be honest they look similar to what I transferred from, but the growth looks uniform and quite nice to my eyes despite being very tomentose.

I'm never a fan of the halo around mycelium like that, your 3rd plate has such a large halo it would concern me.

I'd let that plate continue to grow to see if the growth becomes more organized.

Do the halos indicate something particular is up?
