PC it first so you don't throw mold spores around your house, or throw it outside

Meh, that doesn't look as bad as my little compost bin sometimes gets before I take it out to the larger bin. Your house is already full of mold spores.

I normally get six quart sterilite shoe boxes from Walmart. A pack of 10 for $11.

I was online looking at more just now and I found an 18 pack that have clear Lids. which is very appealing to me. The lids are definitely a little bit different they do snap on it says. But I think if you don't snap them or just flip them over then that's not an issue either right?

And they're only $7. However they are not Sterilite brand. I'm sure this is a silly question but does it make a difference?

I'm obviously expecting the quality of the material to not be as decent but I don't think that matters so much as it's just a container.

Anyways it's so much cheaper and you get almost double the amount. So seems like a no-brainer. They're on the way I'm able to return them. Just looking for opinions please.

Here they are below

Hi sorry about reviving an old thread but I think I have the exact same problem going on with my agar plates. Never had it before but since the last six months it has been the same. A halo leading the mycelium eventually stopping it's growth. The halo looks like very fine rizhomorphic growth in under light. On the surface it appears very shiny and I have been thinking that it is bacteria. I changed pda to lme just to see if that was the problem but it didn't work. I also eliminated simple sugars like corn syrup just as an attempt to inhibit bacterial growth. I tried dipping transfer wedges in three percent hydrogen peroxide and another set of plates with antibiotic doxycycline 50mg/1 litre. Still am disappointed with the same shiny halo. I tried changing spores from 3 different sources and been paying all sorts of attention to sterile technique in my still air box. I'm completely lost here. My first grow as a complete noob back in 2017 went smoothly and I was able to isolate cube myc fairly quickly. But I have been dealing with this curse since more than a year and I am completely flabbergasted. Anyone here to help?

Do spores from mutant strains output regular shrooms? Or are they more likely to have the mutant genes?

This The Thing clone is stronger than regular cubes from what peeps have had so far. Would be interesting to see but I haven't bothered starting from MS.

I did recently clone a gnarly looking regular shroom and those plates are looking nice. Would be interesting to have it more stabilized than blobs and conchs.
