Sorry dude. I jumped the gun thinking he was taking a blow at me for what I said. It's easily misunderstood reading people through text. And after he explained what he meant, I actually agree with him, that the dude should just make his own and it's easy.

Im kinda embellishing.

Im a no life shroomery lifer.

I need out for a bit..

I got back online because i was running a ski lift with nowhere to grow and needed to get in the mindspace so i came in to help. But now i neednto focus on production and getting ready for the move back down.

I need to focus and the site doesnt help me do that :lol:

I wasnt talking to you. I was talking to the people who order plates versus making them. They wouldn't have summer heat wave melted plate problems if they stopped being lazy and made thier own.

So take youre dumbass comment and walk on fool... sup?


Keep on with your predatory biz tactics preying on vulnerable noobs and overcharging them for science jello.

Some recent white teacher spore print to AGAR.

Initial germination from print with some bacterial colonies at the edge.



Some 1st transfers from this plate bacteria hitched a ride grr.

Even though I lost all of my spore prints and cultures.
I discovered a single popcorn grain when cleaning my jars,
I carefully transferred it from the jar it was in onto a plate.
The jar must be at least two years old, I swear to God.

Although it was unlikely, the grain is taking off! I'm very excited.




Here's the original plate



Transfers




How are the transfers looking?


Not agar strictly speaking but here we are



Success! I took a 2 year old kernel, put it to agar, put agar to LC then spawned to bulk :smile:

I found this brand of parafilm on temu for ~$8 USD. The brand is "waxfilm".



It comes in a 2.5 cm roll which is perfect for petri dishes. The roll is about 124 feet long. It costs $8 USD per 124 ft roll which makes it cost effective.

The only issue I've had with it is that parafilm has a learning curve and it took a few tries to get used to wrapping plates with it. I find that the temperature of the film needs to be a bit warm in order to get a proper grip.

It works surprisingly well and may actually be cheaper than cling film (would have to do the maths on that one).

Bisporus from Bra




Ingeli spore germination



Bacteria moving around the plate, it was stationary up until 3 days ago then it got mobile and moved across the plate.
Originally it was quite small but has grown substantially.
It's fascinating to be honest.



Clean Ingeli clone

What I’ve found is wipe down the sides so they’re slightly moist. Hold it with your thumb and stretch and wrap with your other thumb as like a “lever”.

I don’t rip half as many as I used to and the iso really helps it get a clingy stick

I'm still very new and have lots to learn, so I apologize for all the questions. I'm looking for advice on two sets of plates.  The set of four plates is a T1 from a spore print.  In terms of best practice, should I just concentrate on the two plates on the left, or is there value in taking transfers from all three?  Should I take transfers and send to grain, or do I need more transfers before sending?



The second set of three plates is directly from a spore print.  I think I got too many spores on the plates, which leaves me with two questions: 1) Where should I take transfers from on these? 2) How the hell do you work with spore prints?  I've tried from two different prints and I can't seem to get them to stick to the scalpel and end up just scraping some lose and dumping them into the plate.

Thanks!

The two on the left look great. I would probably send those to grain and also keep a transfer for future use.  Bottom right I would probably take another transfer.  Top right I would ditch it.

From the germ plates, just grab anything from the fastest growth.  Whatever spots appeared first, or moved the fastest across agar.

Scraping spores onto the dish with a scalpel just as you did is the “correct” way afaik.  (Correct in this context means “it works!”). You could probably also use a sterile swab if you felt so inclined.

Hello All,

Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.  I'm newer to all this, but I've been working on agar plates for the first time over the past few weeks.  I'm learning that the mycelium can grow in such different ways.  Hoping I can get some thoughts on these plates to help me better identify contam (cobweb mold is my concern on some of these) and put my mind at ease.  I'm especially curious about the PEO plate.  The growth is very flat and ordered so I don't think it is cobweb mold, but that strain has been a bit weaker fighting contams so I'm curious what folks think.

Yes it looks bacterial.

Is that a clone or spores?
