Cleaning contamination - agar
    #28897234 - 08/02/24 12:25 AM (5 months, 12 days ago)

Hey,

I am sorry to say that I received spores from a fellow shroomerite, being so unfortunate that customs ripped opened the contents and threw it back into the envelope.

I would really like to show gratitude by at least trying to save what’s left. With that I’ve taken what I could and inoculated a plate.

I see a lost cause. But I’d like to ask you more experienced men and women out there:
Do you also see a lost cause here, or do you see any hope?




Mush love, fam!

How long did it take to fill that plate?

I did read the question - how does "that's mold" mean anything other than throw it away because there's nothing salvagable there?

+1 — mold, pitch it

Sorry if I came across as rude;
I knew it was mold, and I had already given up on it. But I was hoping someone had a magic trick, even though I expected nothing else than throwing it away.

I just feel terrible about receiving a gift that is ruined by a third party…

Much love!

Sometimes I wait 6 months to received a swab that was opened by customs or better yet, the last swab I received I found in the street after cars drove all over the envelope.

Shit happens.

Just use the print or swab as much as possible to find some clean growth.
