Fruits have white dots and ridging on them as well as the sub has a weird looking spot in the top middle that all seems to say it’s contaminated but with what bacteria?

Better Picture:

I'm curious to know what about what you're seeing on the fruiting bodies makes you think that it's contaminated specifically with bacteria....

Questions:

2- Does anyone use a hotplate for their presto 23qt? My stove is getting a bit finnicky due to what I imagine might be weight from the Presto and not being able to center it fully. A hotplate could be convenient because it would always be perfectly centered, and perhaps not straining on one point. Just not sure if thye are reliable enough or safe


My stovetop was taking a beating sterilizing so often so I switched to a hot plate. Originally bought for an 8 quart PC that I do agar in. I tried it with my 23qt and it works fine. There's no duty cycling on this hot plate and it keeps a steady temperature.

The make and model is:
Kitchen Smith and the model number is:
T61000

This is probably the best picture i could get of them, white dotting on the caps and ridges around the stipe

I do it only when I remember or have time. For years I actually dont, only recently I started to do so. It probably take longer to colonize, but if Im not in a rush, then I dont think about it.

I have very rarely seen rhizo growth on my plates (even with x7x+) and oftentimes when they get sent to grain i start seeing rhizo growth both in the jar and after they spawn. Is this be from my agar recipie? Im using 10 g agar (2%), 7.5-20 g LME and 500 mL.


I've had rhizo with x7x+ in all different mixes of agar, but it often doesn't show up on germination plate, it shows up first transfer of agar.

T1, T2 etc were rhizo. Some rhizo in jars. Some rhizo on tubs. Some rhizo ariel mycelium on tops of caps. Someone was getting a lot of that on every grow.


Here is it on all 3 stages.

Plate


Jar


Tub;

Little x7x+ peens

x7x+ climbing the wall on agar

I have the same experience as DiscoDave, never went rhizo until grains, didn't stop it from giving canopies and a cumbucket of spores though :rofl:

These guys came to me labeled as Jack Frost, but I have a sneaking suspicion something got mislabeled along the way.

These seem like they may be JFxPE (another wedge that came in the same envelope was labeled this)

Agree/disagree?

I inoculated 4x 2kg grow kits, 2 of them with 5 ml each of Menace spores and 2 with 5 ml of Ape Revert spores. I already got nice and healthy-looking mycelium in the Menace bags that appeared 4 days ago, but literally nothing in the Apes. It has been 19 days post inoculation. Was the syringe bad? Or is an ape-r that much slower?
TIA

No way to know for sure besides waiting. 

In the future, send spores to agar first and clean them up and guarantee a viable culture, then you won’t have to guess anymore!

I promise, using agar is easier and way more fun than it seems.
