Not a bad idea, when you put the culture on your plate place it off to the side and then follow this pattern with your loop. Try not to put too much liquid on the plate.

A lot of good info and tips in this thread.
c10's Agar Guide + Tips & Tricks

That pattern is for isolating bacteria. It would be way too much coverage for mycelium( in my humble opinion).

Good point.

Also looks like the hand would be passing over the plate over and over. not good, even if you were working with bacteria.

People bring tips over from lab tek for bacteria sometimes and it's counterproductive.

Like adding Peptone to agar. There are a lot of old posts here talking about doing that. But peptone is food for bacteria, not needed for shrooms, and increases the chance of bacteria out competing shroom mycelium.

I had to read it a couple times but I think they were referring to the vendor they got a booboo syringe from not Sporeworks.

The plate was tilted. Only the loop wire was over the plate. It was like an assembly line. You got good at it or they found something else for you to do.

I have some GT and B+ going (isolate), and it was close to fruiting time but did not expect them to fruit so soon so I didn't flip the lid (shoebox tek)for that FAE. Some mushies were fruited already with a good 80% of the cake with no pins yet, however there are still a plentiful amount of droplets resting on the mycelium to be evaporated, with the lid flipped now, is it just a matter of time until the full pinset comes in or have I possibly missed this chance? I normally get full pinsets so its a bit disappointing.

Noted. I made those 8/10 and was juicy trying to be extra careful since I have only made B+ so far and they seemed to take forever in the jars to colonize for me. Obviously way to long on these than. Thank you for your input!

It looked perfect until today. It's been way too goddamn humid the last week. This plant is fucked. I'm gonna have to burn this tomorrow.

Does radial growth mean mold? I got a plate I was just about to put to grain but now I might not.

I'm fixing to knock up WBS jars with Melmac and JMF unless at least one of you wise folk tell me otherwise if this isn't a good idea..

Also- I assume I need to use a SAB? And flame the needles after each insertion?
I goofed up my SAB when making the arm holes.. they are on opposite sides of this 1 x 1 x 1 clear tote..

Use sab. Open jars instead of using an injection port, and buy agar. Thats the key to the hobby. Learn it and the world is your truffle

I don’t really get rhizo on my plates.

Usually with my plates I look for radial AND cotton like threads AND the halos.

But that’s me
