Here's whats currently running in my neck of the woods...yes I know the Yellow and Golden oysters should be the same, but they came from different sources so I'm keeping them seperate until the best fruiter is found.  The X7XT3's are the first transfers after using the trench technique to remove a significant halo - they look great now.  I've still got Winecaps, Lions Mane, King Oyster, Pink Oysters and Enoki to get going here soon...looks like it's almost time to do a giant run of slants for them.

I recommend not taking pictures with a textured surface behind your plates like that counter top your plates are on, and TBH I would also recommend petri dishes and pouring your plates or finding a container with better clarity for your no pours.

However, despite the poor quality pictures, I feel I can say I do not think you have what you were hoping to grow on those plates.

On the bright side, you grew something and I think you have some beautiful looking trich there.

You see trich I'm there? Your eyes are better than mine. I can see something but couldn't tell you what.

Blue light with glare on top. Frosted containers and no backlighting I cant suggest anything other than something is growing.

Chummmp take pics with natural light and pics holding the plates with lighting behind them so we can see what we're looking at.

I don't see trich, not saying there aren't ride alongs but trichoderma makes visible spores on agar very quickly. It is one of the most obvious molds I have ever seen in a dish.

Here are dishes of different trichs I grew on purpose. Captured from tubs that went green.


4 oclock in your second pic is a contaminate fungal colony but not trich.

Update from my last post:
I've made some transfers from the original (spore grown) colonies after one week;
now, those transfers are also one week old and are looking solid (although one is contaminated).



Which colony/sector would you guys recommend for further transfers?

I was thinking of taking a transfer from the first two plates as a bit of funkiness showed up on both. I marked in green the ones that grew fastest, they also look the most uniform imo but let me know what you guys think.

What species is this?

I tried to take on board the very valid criticisms of my previous pictures and improve, but I still think they're not ideal.  Really messed with lighting and phone settings but I guess my resources (and brain) are limited.  Hope this is a little better and has a little more clarity.  Probably just a bunch of trich, although these are about 12 days at approx 21c and none of them are showing green so maybe not? 

Again, thanks for the replies, thoughts and time you've given me.  Cheers.

Still not great but much better.

These 2 spots look good. Don't transfer the whole area I marked. Just small slices at the edge of the myc growth. 




They're at likely more spots to transfer. My eyes are getting old but I can see those 2 breakout spots. You want to look for the germination points and go for the mycelium that is growing fastest away from it. Any growth that turns rhizo get that as well. Here is the germination point of one section I marked and an outline of the myc growing away from it.
