I’m with you in spirit but minus a sausage and I had to have a faux fire. I label my initial plates G for germination, I don’t know why. I consider this place as a melting pot of information and ideas. Lots of great work gets done here.

I like that photo. haha.
I think you're confusing successive plate transfers (Germ(ination) plate, T1, T2, T3, whree "T" is "transfer" with filial generations from selection (P, F1, F2, etc), which can be done without agar (and was by fhat until a while back)

Very common error, thus, "What's T1, T2, T3 etc. And what's F1, F2, F3?"

You've got it right though, first plate where you toss spores on is germination plate.

A T1 could be an F1 (or an Fx), but doesn't have to be. Two different processes.

Great night for a fire. I watched the bats feed before full dark. Now I’m just smelling like wood smoke and looking at stars. I don’t know what the fuck y’all are up to in here. Hope you have a good night.

I have a spore syringe from a friend and I want to put it on agar. Will it be good enough to just put a few drops on the agar plates, or should I use a loop and put the syringe into a clean shot glass to streak the plates?

You ok Nektar?

You're having a melt down about not a lot.

The thing is, in this world it doesn't seem to matter how smart you are, or what you know, or what you have, if you can't communicate in a way which will be received.

This thread was designed as a platform for questions and answers specifically and the guidelines were laid out pretty clearly. Confrontation, ego trips, superiority, or speaking negatively about other people for any reason is absolutely not in line with the theme of this thread, and I have reminded you of this multiple times. Enough times to where I was honestly relieved when you ignored me for the last half of a day, and not surprised when you un-ignored me and came into my thread on a rampage again. It is weird and I don't like it.

Anyways I'd like it if you took your superiority complex somewhere else so this thread can return to its intended roll. Or at least re-read the OP and check the baggage at the door, ya know, leave the dirty laundry in the laundry room...

I guess I just don't have the inoculation loop, but im wondering if that is how you should do it.

You don't need to do all that with the loop, especially if you don't have a lot of hours in the cockpit. You are just opening up more avenues for contamination to creep in. A few drips from a syringe on agar is fine and dandy.

....Anyways I'd like it if you took your superiority complex somewhere else so this thread can return to its intended roll.

I'm not having a meltdown, I'm calm. I'm answering questions.
And the last few replies of mine on here have been very calm, the one you quoted was even playing along with a pop culture reference that has nothing to do with this topic. I was trying to change the subject. You seem triggered, not me.

And I'm not being mean to anyone, just matter of fact.

But I'll hold back what I've been thinking and not saying. Having several people give me shit for using correct terms reminds me of the running joke in Idiocracy where the low-IQ people call the average-IQ person "FAG" because he speaks in complete sentences.

I'm going go back to having you, Nichrome, on ignore, like I did for over 2 years.

I only recently took you off ignore, and it was a mistake. If you want to know why I had you on ignore, it was for this totally insane post. I can't believe you said that acting like a serial killer is a good way to keep the cops from paying attention to you (I thought you were joking but you got mad at me for thinking that in subsequent posts, and then complained that I break up paragraphs instead of posting text blocks):

Or you could just be so weird that anyone and everyone is mortified to even look at anything in your yard let alone want to go through your garbage.

Leaving hides and bones and other animal parts all around is a good start. Piles of moldy stuff helps too. Most people are afraid of fungus. People don't want to know what the fuck it is. Meter reader keeps his eyes front. Thinks you're a Jeff Dahmer or some shit.

---
OK, I'm done with this topic if you all are, and won't bring it up here today except to reply. But I'm still going to correct incorrect terms when someone uses them while trying to teach a new member here. Everyone should be doing that or we turn into Reddit.

If I wanted to save and dry a few grains of colonized spawn for future use, what would be an efficient way to accomplish that?

I was thinking that an empty jar or petri might do the trick or even cryovials. Although, I haven’t purchased those yet, because I’ve not convinced myself that I will actually use them.

I didn't use a tek, I just put some in test tubes but you could use a Petri if you have those and don't want to buy something else. I kept these in the fridge, not the freezer. I should have let all of them get more colonized before putting them in but it worked. Bottom is them growing growing on plate after over a year after in the fridge.

Ihe said dry grains. Put em in a swab pack. They’ll last for years. Cryovials work too.. I’d just be sure to wrap em

No need to refrigerate

You can just leave a small amount in the bottom of a spawn jar (obv with the lid back on.) but that takes a while. If you have a hood, you can put em in a Petri dish for a day and they’ll dry real fast

I just got cryovials and as I held them in my hand, I realized that I dont have any kind of plan for how to stand this tiny vial up with the cap off, place sample, and get the cap back on. All without spilling it or contaminating it. 🤣

Grains might be the way - thanks for mentioning it.🤙

No need to refrigerate

so just dehydrated grain spawn can be used as an inoculant? i assume the use-case is to agar to clean it up?
