Looking closer, I think I see mycelium, so could be mold or fungus or it could be a satellite of your original culture if you weren't too careful about transferring it. How did you plate the original culture?

Poorly I started from spores and then tried to take some aerial mycelium to t-1. The satellite texture is different, looks like tv static. I doubt it's cube myc.

The yellow blob on the t-0 is interesting, I thought it was clumped malt extract but it seems to be growing.

I guess the take away is that something is wrong with my sterile work.

I know you all say blue is cool, but, um, yeah. Tmac on PDA, think Ill put some of the original wedge onto an antibiotic plate and see how it goes.

Is this dot mold on my x7x+ or did I drop a piece of myc last time when transferring? I transferred away from it just in case. Otherwise these look pretty clean to me but how do they look to you?

The dot by the edge is mold. Aspergillus

Ding ding ding, into the trash it went



I'm hoping this iceberg stops being dumb soon and stops being transparent. It looks clean in my eyes though, I do want to put all of these through a ditch/cabin before putting them on grain though. The one on the blue plate is 0,5% MEA which is accidental, I wonder if it would do better on regular 2%.


My og B+ plin clone is doing the best so far so if nothing else is ready by the time I'm ready to start messing with grain, that's what I'll be doing first.

Obviously it's some kind of contam, but WTF is this growing left of center? Mold? Spontaneous beard? I've never seen anything that puts out long curly growth like that.

(and yeah, I see the bacterial blob at 3:00)

Yes and yes, that is beard mold.

Awesome, thanks Kloakk! Going to grain today!

Like this?

I'm not sure if you (and/or Amazon) are joking, but it's getting sent. Outside. With a kettle of boiling water poured on it. I might try doing a couple transfers away from it in my SAB, but I'm iffy on opening it indoors. I don't open anything with actively sporulating mold indoors, but at the moment it's just myc spreading quickly. What do you think?

I think that Amazon's beard mold supply comes from reddit, further more, it is some kind of mold, but I have no clue, send it was to hotboxer, but I'll throw you a gif as well.
