• For 44 plates I make 500 ml of agar with 2.5g lme and 10g agar and 500ml distilled water. That makes 0.5% nutes and 2% agar, I like it weak and hard, baby.
  
• 8 to 10 grams for 1.6% to 2% of agar and lme is a more standard recipe. Any standard recipe will work fine.
  
• It works out to about 9 plates to 100ml of agar mix, so base your recipe on your number of plates for your containers.
  
• Pro Tip: Set out all of the plates with the tops removed before starting the agar.
  
• Since this is no pour/pre-pour we need to heat up the ingredients first, then pour it in the plate bottoms and let them cool.
  
• I recommend measuring out all of the ingredients first.

What’s the culture?
I can’t say anything about contam but these look super fluffy… exactly like my ochraceocentrata. They love fae are a lot of them are prone to thick fluffy overlays like this.

Hey!

Ooh, I'll have to look into that, thanks.

It came from a what I believe is a GT print, it looks very different from the rest of the transfers I've made (the plates, some are on their 5th transfer, but I've gone a bit trigger happy on the amount of plugs per plate I've taken forward then editing).




(I don't trust this plate but it's a good example of the direction most have gone)

To me, it's doesn't look like it has the ring-like sectors and the strands all seem to be crossing like they’re in business for themselves.

I've been burned by tomentose mycelium in the past and it has me all paranoid.

The Variety is PESH. All the plates seem to look like this. I currently have some in a Cabin Sequestering plate, looking to see if it grows differently. Might try water Agar next. Just curious if it will eventually throw Rhizo at me.
