This plate is pretty. It's PS Azure that I rescued from a jar of bacterial LC my brother gave me.

Convinced myself I could start agar before I really figured out how to build a SAB. ...at least I've learned something :eek:

Yep, open air. Figured it couldn't be that bad..I don't think anything on there is mycelium 🥲

Well it’s definitely mycelium, just not the mycelium you want lol.

Yeah the air is absolutely full of spores and shit. SAB up, baby!

I'm in a lot of cults. Highlander, Gov't Mule, Dudeism... :laugh:



I understand that GMule is a band, but tell me about the others.





Dudeism is a philosophy inspired by The Dude, the main character of the film The Big Lebowski. Highlander is a film series with one great film and a whole bunch of bad sequels :laugh: But the original film was so great that fans are still waiting for a worthy continuation (or reboot, at this point)

But to get more on-topic... I've been reading up on water agar and thought it might be the way to go when trying to get from "a dubious LC" to "a clean cubensis mycelium". Or are there other teks with a higher success rate for someone in a similar position?

I'd suggest BRF Puck to Agar to Cabin Sequestered Agar (if necessary)

I haven't found brown rice flour locally at least yet, I've been making PF tek cakes with wholegrain rye flour so far. How finicky is the Puck method about using BRF in particular?

I haven't tried rye flour, but I've seen it said multiple times that any flour works for pf tek so it should work fine. You can also just get some brown rice and grind it into flour. I got my brf from Amazon for like $20

First time dealing with agar, is this cobweb mold or just tomentose, can i a2g this plate ?
It does seem to have some vertical growth...

tomentose growth, no grains anytime soon, you need 2 or 3 more transfers I'd say.

You want to grab from the best looking growth, normally more thick ropey looking stuff. I'd grab multiple samples from this one plate, then grow them out, see which ones grow best, choose new sectors, and keep going until you have perfect even growth, ideally.

Grab a sample from the middle, the thicker bit at around 11 o clock, 7 o clock or at least that s my intuition. Small samples

Finally got it worked out. My agar, while good enough to do the job, has also been a bit inconsistent in terms of clarity plus every now and then I’d get a few that would run wild with syneresis, all weepy and good for nothing.

The solution? One of these things:


I’ve started mixing the crap out of it, heating it until the agar starts to gel up, then mixing the crap out of it again until it turns into this jacked up looking mess.


Then back into the microwave it goes until the foam collapses.


Yank the plastic off while it’s still gurgling away and those bubbles immediately vanish.


If the nutrient content is high enough to result in noticeable sediment then I simply pass the whole batch through a submicron filter bag while it’s still screaming hot. Otherwise it’s good to go right away. Crystal clear agar, sturdy as hell, ready to be transferred to media bottles or no pours.

Lesson learned: spoons and whisks are for clowns. Go figure.
