Actually recently I've heard ppl having problems with Telephone,

The reason it's mentioned so much is being able to find it in aisan markets, & not needing to purchase online.


I've used multiple types including telephone,  and have not really noticed much difference.
Though for many years I wasn't very specific with exact amounts or %s. Never had an issue then either.

Been using this same bag over a year.

I feel like some of the users of this forum live in middle America where an Asian store would not be successful and the European people got their own hurdles.

I guess I dont see why people keep preaching the Telephone. Cant say I see a need to change personally but if it keeps people from spending unnecessary funds I am about it

Telephone?


I have been seeing "Telephone" brand agar recommended since I was first starting out

With all due respect is there a comprehensive comparison between Telephone agar and any other agar?

I have been consistently buying the cheapest no brand agar for this entire hobby and havent had issues. Just curious if there is value behind the brand


When people have issues with otherwise clean and healthy mycelium growing on agar, or if they claim they can’t even grow mold or bacteria on agar, 9 times out of 10 they’re using telephone agar lately. I ask because when I first started making plates I had this exact problem and it turned out to be the telephone agar. It’s not all telephone, but when the problem happens it’s almost always telephone.

So i ask. Most of the time you switch agar and boom you’re golden. I don’t have an explanation as to why, I just know it’s a likely explanation and I’m trying to help.

I'm UK & I've been using this since I first started with agar & never had any issues.  A single bag last a LONG time https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BWBBW6C?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

That's the second one I've seen on here.

Freaky.

Call it
hex7x+
(if it's constantly reproducible from clone or spores)

Take spores too. Might be the way, or might be clone.

I went to make some gummies today. Added 8% agar. Cools of to slime consistency. Am I doing something wrong? Why doesn't it get solid? Should I switch to different agar brand?

My process is: I cook the fresh mushrooms for 20 minutes, then take the mushrooms out, press the remaining moisture into the liquid, the liquid is boiled further to evaporate, I take and cook the mushrooms in another pan with a little bit of water and again press the mushrooms out into the liquid.

When evaporated to content of about 0,2gr (as in dry) per ml, I then add the 8% agar, measured in weight. I cook it lightly and do stir it with a whisk 'like a mad man', to get rid of the clunks. Until the bubbles are gone I lightly cook it. And then I put it in the mold immediately.

Try revs tek , I've had good results (also modified dehydrator with toggle switch for fan only, no heat)

P.S. Don't use a whisk, use a wooden spoon instead. Whisk will cause undesirable bubbles or foam.


Gelatin will give better texture (I used small amount of agar as well)
But you've gotta let it bloom in cold water first

What are you planning? I'm going to try to make a bed with either composted chicken manure or cow manure and dry pampas grass instead of straw.

More petri dish questions-- I don't see any references to pouring glass petri dishes and then PC. Is there a reason that's not a recommended method?

Because not everyone thinks like we do. But Hazyhorse has an excellent write up here.

Supposing I prepare my SAB, use it and go for a few hours While the sab is waiting in my closet (closed closet, closed room, no ac, yada yada). When im back, can i just spray some alcohol, wait for an hour and jump back in and work in it? Or should I take everything out, re-clean the tub itself and prepare it like new?
Thanks

My sab is a permanent fixture. It keeps the air still. I know it's just as good now as when I left it, likely better. If I spray something in there, it just stirs up the air and adds non-sterile particulate that can take days to fully settle. I cleaned it once, last year.

Right, I think we have learned we can't clean the air but should do whatever we can to keep the air still.

I prepped some coir for a couple of shoe boxes a few months ago in an insulated cooler. The leftover coir has been sitting in the cooler ever since, unopened. Is it still good to use after sitting for a while?

Is there anything salvageable in this dish? There’s a spot of orangish/pink there. I had one dish that was very infected with pin molds. Two others that don’t seem to be doing much of anything but maybe a little growth. I used a pre mixed agar that was maybe a little stiff. It just seems to crumble when I put my inoculation loop or spore syringe in it.

Which of these bags are ready for mixing into substrate?
Which of these bags are contaminated and should be tossed?
Not AIO, these are Five 1 lb. Sterilized Rye Berry Grain Spawn Bags
Inoculated on 1/29.

Bag 1: GT
Break and Shake : Feb 21





Bag 2: GT
Pink Contam : spotted about a week after inoculation
Break and Shake : Feb 21
The pink is gone, but yellow-ish sweat at the bottom, thinking of throwing this one away, unless you would still run it?





Bag 3: Choco
Break and Shake : Feb 21
Seems ready, no signs of contam that I can see.




Bag 4: Transeki
No Break and Shake. For learning purposes
Clean spawn checklist says this is too thick?
Also, multiple yellow sweat droplets at the bottom






Bag 5: Transeki
No Break and Shake
Completely covered, yellowish droplets, and too thick/creamy?
