Pretty much sums it up.

If I am just looking for growth patterns (like testing lc), multiples to one plate can work fine. When I plan to take a pretty plate to grain I like to let a single transfer grow out to nearly fill the plate (~75% +) to feel really confident that it is clean.

Ok cool! I'm going to do some transfers this weekend to expand, make a master or two, and make sure I have good cultures for grain. Thanks for the info!

It looks like LME that I bough doesn't dissolve completely in the water. Is filtering it through coffee filter a good idea if I want to make agar plates/LC from it?

For one US quart of CVG 2-3 tsp of CaO(H)2 should work for a casing layer
mix for Panaeolus or psilocybe species?

Some nice mystery sediment there... Yes running it through a coffee filter would clean it up. running it through a cheese cloth would be a good pretreatment though as that sediment will clog up a coffee filter really fast and you'll be waiting forever unless you have a fancy buchner funnel and a vacuum. You could also settle it in the fridge overnight and use a syringe if you have a big one to pull the clean layer off the top.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it though, it's just grain cells and mush don't mind that at all, I mean fuck, I've used brf to make agar before a number of times.

Unless you are trying to count spores under the scope or something, clear agar is merely aesthetic.

Good morning :smile:

:smile:

We used old spores from the cleanest paddock that backs onto national park in the border ranges. Being wild, i expect a bit of cleaning up on agar.

Question is how long for growth to appear. Its been 6 days, i think. Its the first month of Spring - temps would be around 16-26c on estimate.

Thank you :smile:

:smile:

i have the 2 agar plates in the pantry behind a sheet to help moderate tempeature, they are in ziplock bags.

2-3 tsp of quick lime would significantly raise the pH of one quart of casing. Probably much further than you want.

Ah, I know the mystery. I bought malt instead of malt extract.

Thanks for the advice :smile:

Hey I wonder if malt would work instead of malt extract...
just mind you the tannins and protein and such in the malted grain (grain is it?) potentially causing cloudiness.
I think.

i made a 500ml lc with 10g of brf by accident that shit looked like and poured like grits.

grew shrooms tho. i do like a clear lc. the clearer the broth gets as it colonizes has usually been a good sign for me.

always test on agar

Hi!

I've isolated this tub, but wanted an opinion. Is this Trich?

Two others from the same agar plate.
