is that the x7x+? or just x7x? beautiful regardless.

x7x+ below (i dnt like writing the "+" nxt to the "x" for whatever reason..
probably gnna go to T3 at least on these cus my T0 were lookin awful funky. Thanks Nektar!

You're welcome.

x7x (without the plus) is not as robust of a grower, and not as strong. Link on that in my sig line.

this plate looks like it has some ryzo area around 7:30-8 o'clock close to the centre.  It disappeared though as it grew out.  Can I take a sample from the ryzo area and make transfer?  what would have overgrown the ryzo section or did it just change up to tomotose??

sloug said:

you mean the rhizo actually receded or, it was overgrown/outpaced by the more fuzzy looking myc? you can def try to isolate it regardless. i really like the south/southeast portion of that plate. looks nice n healthy. maybe transfer a few samples from that plate and see what happens.

Healthy myc can be either rhizo or tomentose. I’ve almost given up trying to get rhizo growth since all my plates look tomentose no matter how many transfer I make. However once I throw them on wheat jars the fuckers start to look stronger and “ropey” so I’m just convinced the issue is my agar and not the culture (that apparently was healthy all along).

I know you were replying to him, but I'll ask ya anyway since you seem to know - all the growth other than the real ropey rhizo- is that typical healthy myc? My hawaiian plates look like that, but the thin, whispy behavior weirds me out. It's basically just like this pic.

its hard to say with absolute certainty but that plate looks healthy all around imo, despite the variations. perhaps something goin on on the north side but its too out of focus. I will typically transfer until i see more uniformity and choose the "thicker" sections just bc. most of my cultures are more wispy and tomentose and do great. i dont try to get "rhizo" growth and when i do, those cultures dont necesarily do better. its definitely seems variety dependent which type of growth. ive been using the same agar recipe for years so i cant comment on that but sediment or not, doesnt seem to affect my cultures.

all these plates are healthy and show some serious wisp..

It's only .5% (only plates I had at the time and wanted to expand it 😂) too low!

no problem.  tbh 99% of my plates are wispy or more "tight knit". so much so that i actually question the ropey stuff when i get it


read em' and wisp

I run .5% for tomentose cultures (ones that are incapable of going rhizo. And 1.2% for rhizomorphic ciltures
