So regarding my question about yellowing mycelium in the species known as NZ-02, someone who has some experience with it says it’s normal with isolates and different agar formulas.
I just put it on grain.
Fingers crossed

You really don't need such large pieces of material, looks good otherwise.

You can see with these pictures I posted how small the transfer was.

This is unusual for it to not take off. Try smashing it into the agar so it gets max hydration

I dont for plate transfers, but my solid spear scalpel is dull af and i need to cut all 4 sides like its a transfer, and a too much heat for too long will kill a sample.

Im in the market for a scalpel upgrade. Currently using a generic #3 from Besos-mart. But, I’m wanting something with a longer handle (like #7) but don’t want more Amazon junk. Already sent back scalpel shaped garbage twice.

What is this solid spear? Do you have a pic or link by chance?
Or a vendor reco for quality lab gear?

Thanks in advance. Appreciate your advice. :mushroom2:

I can send you a Temu link

It was a good purchase though, got 3 different handle types and a few blade styles along with the normal no. 11.

https://fungi.com/products/full-spear-scalpel?srsltid=AfmBOorrwM2XsjzYOw6c3scoUX6Y7KQuEY8xvuvsMjFfADBBeyhjRJhq ; dont bend it or youll never be able to sharpen it.

The handle fits into a stainless steel straw perfectly for a handle extentsion

I love my #7 handle, but I could use a higher quality one :begger:

:begger:

but uh, isn't anyone(who's not me) gonna have the "how to wrap with parafilm" talk with ogelite :hehehe:

:hehehe:

In other news, it was only 20°C the other day so I finally did the transfers that's been waiting on me for a week, feels good.
