Just harvested my first grow yesterday, is it normal to start seeing mushrooms when I close my eyes now?

I don't know about normal, but this happens to me too.

So I have two jars here, both from same culture, both almost fully colonized. The one on the right started recovery after shake with uniform growth, but then changed the morphology (lighter a bit more wispy), the left one has stayed the same. Am I dealing with something icky in the left right one?

did the transfer piece move around at all? because that is what normally causes these sort of growths in my experience.

Condensation can be helped by leaving the plates stacked after pouring. Takes a little while but it will clear up.

Hello all,

I've decided to retry growing some mushrooms but I don't feel confident at all with agar check yet. Here my doubts, for whoever is willing to help out:

1) The Ghost plate seems to have another colony growing at 3 o'clock (in this picture it seems to be the same one, but it was actually another one that just got together with the main one).
The Tidal also has a similir situation at 2 o'clock. I'm not sure why it's happening and, specially, what do you think of these 2 plates? Are both thigs just mycelium?



2) Same situation here for these 2 different plates: 2 colonies, the main one and another little one at 3 o'clock. Also I'm not sure if the little one is actually mycelium.





3) Any way to actually reduce that nasty condensation? Would I damage the mycelium bu putting above these plates a plate with hot water for a minute?

Thank you all!

Not ruling out contam but...

It looks like the satellite is where your knife first entered the agar, then you sliced a little through to get your transfer to stick.

This can leave a satellite at the first contact point as the tip of your knife has mycelium on it.

Edit: I see you figured that out while I was typing lol
