Good advice from that:

YOU DON'T NEED TO CLIMB THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN IN ONE DAY
There are 3 steps to bulk growing shrooms. They are:
1. Growing mycelium from spores on agar plates
2. Growing mycelium into bulk spawn on grain in jars (usually wide-mouth 1-quart mason jars)
3. Growing shrooms in tubs (start with shoebox-size plastic tubs, aka a "shoebox", not larger monotubs or bags)

You can learn each step and buy the things for it before learning / buying for the next part. No need to master it or purchase it all at once.

Same batch of agar clones taken the same day (8 days ago ) but the rustywhyte x has taken over the plate ate the food coloring and knotted already lol




I was out of town for a week but before I left took a few transfers of some old plates and old plate pins to try salvage anything I could , I also knocked up grain from old ass lc which sat for around 6 months at room temp , so far everything worked out just fine other than a few spore plates I swiped but turns out I didn't need

Thoughts on the yellow spot on this plate?  I have a good number of backups but wondering if folks would typically send it or not on this one.  Trying to find the right level of scrutiny for my agar with so I'm curious what the horde would do.

I started growing again after many years and never tried agar before. I want to get into this hobby full on because it interests the shit out of me. I had a bunch of failed agar plates, probably 30+ in the last 3 months due to a bunch of fuck-ups. On the top above is the original plate hit with spore syringe weeks ago, on bottom is after 1 transfer. I THINK I am dealing with bad white mold issues in my old-ass leaky apartment building. Having some trouble differentiating between white mold and mycelium in certain plates/jars. Interestingly for the above plate transfer, I really fucked it up, forgot to cool my scalpel, then didn't get enough on the scalpel, the lid was then stuck on the new plate, the media on the scalpel was exposed to SAB air for like 30 seconds lol. I think it looks good (?), I might do another transfer. I'm very much a noob but have been reading so much.

I have some pastyplates that look fluffy like that. I shot some LC on them. To my amateur eye, everything looks ok.

Yea man here is another plate that I'm quite certain is not mycelium but some kind of mold (need to identify what type). I tossed this plate a while ago and had other plates like it, as well as grain jars with weird fluffy white growth that just didn't look like mycelium or tomentose mycelium to me.

I think that one looks ok too. Maybe I'm not seeing what you are seeing. I sent some of my plates that looked like this to grain. They colonized in under 2 weeks. Spawning to bulk this weekend.

Thats a clear example of scalloping. Its a clear sign something is competing in that culture.  The first plate yoy posted looks great.

Woah, I had to look up "scalloping" as I was unfamiliar with that term. Thanks for letting me know. I assumed based on the morphology that the culture was not mycelium... I ended up just tossing it, but prolly could've tried a transfer. There is so much information on this site, so much to learn!!! Can be overwhelming but fun and interesting nonetheless.

Here is a dish from my first agar attempt ever trying it with D3's Perfect transfers and agar TEK. I used a 2-year old spore syringe lol, all failed. Seems maybe to be trichoderma. And yes I did transfer some mainly to practice. immanoob
