Frankenstein Ochras?

Hi all!
I grown lots of Ochras (formally know as Natalensis)
But I’ve never had them come out as ugly as these guys.
I did somethings different with this grow:
I cased them and put them in a tub with some pan cyans that were growing at the same time.
Usually I just put them in a shoebox and all is good.

They’re so ugly that I’m not sure it’s safe to consume them.
They are still bruising blue/green
Were they bacterial and I didn’t notice?
Should I toss them?
I’ve never had this happen before.
Thanks for any advice!

What does that smell like?

They all smell earthy and mushroomy
About 2/3 of them looked normal
The others are just so hideous that I don’t know what to do with them

I've had the best success with spores when I make my agar softer than usual.

Give it time. 7 days isn't that long.

theres alot to this question.
Why would agar plates (potato flakes/karo) NOT grow mycelium from a spore syringe. Spores were dripped a few drops a plate. B+ and Blue meanies.
New syringes from a good company.
Their spores have always took in rye grain.
No contamination in the agar after 7 days thats visible.
Im sures theres treads on this but i couldnt find mine.
Thanks.


What brand of agar powder are you using to make plates? I ask because at least two others here had the same issue with Telephone brand agar. Nothing would grow on the plates. I have no explanation for it, and I have used Telephone agar successfully in the past. I think it was SmellyHobbit. Maybe he can give some more insight.

This is troubling because I got more after successfully using the rest of it. It was a couple months ago, though. Maybe I’m avoiding the bad batch.

How recently did this start?

I have been hearing about the telephone brand being bunk a lot recently too and never really heard it too much before, and telephone used to be what everyone was using at one point with no issues

Like within the last year or two i would say but really not long at all. Although i haven't been paying that much attention but it definitely feels pretty recent

OK, I got my stuff last year. I’m hoping it’s avoiding this. I bet this involves some sort of recipe swap up.

Sorry - I guess my phone was taking live pictures
They look gross but still bruise blue/green and smell like they should

The chair is pretty fun


Would anyone eat these?
I don’t know what to do

I would not eat that.
But pseudomonas is killed by dehydrating and safe to eat. I am not positive that’s what it is, but it looks like it.

whole room looks great! :laugh: everything except the mushrooms. I'm not absolutely certain, but I'd bet they'd be safe to eat after dehydrating. But if you're gonna grow more anyway, maybe wait for some healthier specimens?

Even if it is fine, there's still that little voice in the back of your head that will be talking shit the entire trip...
So unless you've got your's on a tight leash- probably best to compost.

I shook these jars at about 80-90% mainly to see how they would recover. It’s been 4 days. Before the shake they were colonising much more uniformly and rhizomorphicaly(?). Now they are kind of whispy. Am I worrying for a reason?



Actually the look a bit whiter in real life, camera kind of looses the details…



Nice work! I wish my jars looked that good everytime.

I’m tempted to just throw the entire thing into the dishwasher at this point.



When ever I pc agar I toss in my scalpes and tweezer and exacto-knife loop handle, and punch.

Wrapped in foil put in qrt jar with some foil over the top.
