Yo guys Nd gals, so sitting at my station...

Wondered if I can run some plates by you now...

Bare in mind please they're t+0 and not my work lol my cat coulda done better with some of these.

Most know how to salvage but B-bar...

He's been sitting a week now and bacterial spots are forming... Worst vendor plate I've ever seen.

Should I snag the tip and transfer?

Then it's left to right Tampanensis, nec-D which I'm also like dafuq do I do with this? Byron ba, eungai, Ingeli and ttbvi and that's popcorn you can see there and in the nec-D.

Anything is awesome 👍 did post on pan cyan thread too but got nothin' so here I am you beautiful people. What do you think? :howyoudoing:

Done, got one transfer plate for each and I'm trying out different scrapes and divets I like best. Love my noc loop though.

I've been trying to revive some old prints and I've got this P. Natalensis print from 2022(which I'm now seeing the discourse online about what used to be referred to as P. Natalensis is now most likely actually P. Ochraceocentrata) that I managed to get what looks like myc to germinate on a BRF puck. Took some to agar and I got very wispy growth. Not sure whether this is contam or if I should take another transfer before putting to some grain.

Pretty confident about my ochra, jack frost, and pe-6. My bluey Vuitton is golden aswell. My f+ unfortunately is cooked as of right now. I have seen enough ochra to know its normal but the fluffiness throws me off. It's also outgrowing all my cubes in the plates so hopefully it carries over to the jars and sub.

Is the brf puck in shadow, or is it contaminated?
Is there a swab in it?
That’s significant growth on agar since 2/4.

Shadow. The puck has an even wispy white overlay but has had no color change to indicate trich, not sure if it's something else. and yes theres a swab jammed in the middle.

How long are spores supposed to germinate before the first transfer?

I have had these going for like a month and was about to try to transfer because i Noticed these lil blobs appear not too long ago.. plins or?

Followup question, cut the blobby pieces to transfer or the more spiderwebby looking circular growth spots that i circled w/ pen? Does it matter?

Think these pots might blur the line between GE and FAE. It's blue bruising, it could be fighting contamination we'll see. But my suspicion is simply too much oxygen because of the pattern and colour.

Nothing you have said here makes any sense to me at all. Can you take better pix?

I don't look at the transfer process like there is a specific amount of time. In fact if you have totally clean plates you might not even have to transfer at all before moving to next steps - spawning to grain. If you are going to transfer, in my view, you are simply looking for a healthy leading edge of mycelium to transfer to the next clean plate. If you know a plate is contaminated, and you see a clean leading edge as far as possible away from the area of contamination, take it ASAP and get it on something clean.
