Can Inoculated agar (wrapped either in parafilm/clingwrap) be stored without ziplock bags? If using ziplock bags, do you seal them up or leave open? Ambient light seems okay now

Anyone have any idea what it might be?

Those are a pita to get out in my limited experience.

Thank you

Yes, as long as they are wrapped they can be stored as is.

Why would i put something in a bag just to not seal it?

I just wipe the box, surface, plates, jars, tools with iso.
Flamed scalpels and tweezers standing up in a small jar. No rack. I rarely get anything on the plates other than what I inoculated them with

Whats your recipe and for how long did you PC it?

---

It is a premix agar/lme powder. Instructions were, 50 grams to one litre of water. The bottle only holds half a litre so i used 25 grams, added 1/2 gram of peptides.
PC'd at 15 psi for 30 minutes.

---

let me verify your recipe bc dont get what youre saying.

2% recipe at 1000ml = 20g of agar, 20g lme

500ml = 10g of each
i dont care about the peptides but if understand right your recipe is 2.25% yeah?  if the mix is 50/50 2% should be 20g for 1liter and 10g for a half liter.

make sense?

not that i think this is your problem. but i do think 2% should be max.  all the cool kids are going 1.5% these days.  not me tho. im not cool.

---

Here is the package with instructions.

I cut the recipe in half for a 500 ml bottle. So, 25 gr, then added the peptides and water to the 500 ml mark. So yes, it would seem it is a 2.5 percent mix and you're saying it should be 2%. I will do that next time.
Is 2.5% too much? will it cause problems?
I'm still pretty new to all this, but I want to get it right.
I ordered a bunch of pre-poured dishes that arrived severely contaminated, twice, and that's when I decided to pour my own plates.

Aren't cabins more for bacteria than mold?

---

Yes, mold will crawl out

callmehippie said:

I was thinking that about the mold as well.  right after I made the post. Makes sense. I wonder if I can take a transfer from the far edge or if it's just done for since it's already embedded in the culture.

I'm still considering sending all of my t1s to a cabin just in case there is any bacteria. That way I can beat it out from the start.

---

Yeah you could always try to do another transfer, and I've never actually tried taking a moldy culture through a cabin, so for all I know it takes the mold more time then shroom mycelium to crawl out of the cabin

Yeah, I do that with almost all of my cultures, I mean a cabin is easy enough and really works well. Might be placebo, but I feel that even if there wasn't any bacteria present, what's coming first out the cabin is a stronger culture.
