Assuming he's referring to Pans, which lack the genes for rhizomorphic growth, they run very slow on full nutrient agar. They're also often slow on grains.

nah im talking more about rhizo vs tom like why does it matter to him. are pans different?

if they lack the genes why bother? and if hes upping the nutes doesnt that defeat the purpose :confused:

They also stretch out a lot nicer and it's easier to see clean growth.

Panaeolus sp.

Editing because I didn't see your response before. ingeli is section caerulescenta, which means it could produce rhizomorphs. I like seeing the rhizomorphs if it's capable of producing them.

Ive noticed that if I go too low in nutes, rhizos will also go away, as crazy as that sounds

Edit: I'm a dummy.. I keep mixing up igneli with natalensis. ingeli is section cordisporae. It will not go rhizomorphic 🤦‍♂️ .5% she remains

My first time doing swab to agar. The plates I brushed the swab against are not doing anything yet. But the one I shoved the swab in is. It doesn't look too great though. Is the black transferable? It has a mycelium looking growth to it. I do not know if it's just spores from the swab or contamination. Plate is contaminated either way. But if the black is good, I can transfer some.

I don't think anything on that plate looks good. I would wait out the other plates and look for white growth. How long has it been?

Nothing on that plate is usable.

Did you use clean swabs?

I couldn't say how clean they are. swab was given to me along with some others I haven't used yet. They said some of them were little old.

You think the NE (Nepalese) LC test is looking ok or is that mold?

nepalese is a cube species yea?? both of those test plates look dirty. the top one has good uniformed shaped growths, which i like and would probably transfer but, where its radiating out from looks kinda gnarly. i cant tell if its actually discolored or im seeing thru the myc to the blueish agar. id probably toss the lower one but im pretty choosey with my plates

LC test plate - 12/8

I'm not sure I like the way it doesn't want to consolidate and become one colony. I think I'm going to let it go another 3 or 4 days before calling it.

Truthfully, I'm not confident in my ability to read this. Thoughts or opinions welcome and appreciated.

Hello,
Just wondering what these white dots might be? think they are pins or are they contamination? If they ar epics, can I put them to LC or should I put them to Coir?

They look like knots to me, but let someone with more experience verify that. 🤘

the area from 12-3 on the first pic looks a little funky but the images are too blurry to see whats going on exactly. its normal to have multiple sections of growth when putting LC to agar. they will more or less just grow into each other. wont really become "one colony", at least visually.
