This is ochra myc on a plate; these spots appeared in the last few days- wtf are they?! They are like dark water droplets but a bit translucent up close with a loupe. I'll keep it around until it does something (hoping it's just ochra being weird and that shit pins :headbang:)

Second pic is with a loupe at the camera lens, a little better close up shot. Backside looks completely normal.







Update on this weirdo- I'm really curious to see if this fucker pins! Also a pic of a shoebox that's going nicely. The shoebox was from one transfer later (I don't know if I label correctly- from spore that plate is "spore", and the first transfer for me is T0).



This cluster has a similar alien look at the base, it was closer to the original plate pic before the cluster formed.

Yeah those are both good Iโ€™d take the bottom part from 3 to 6 o clock if it was me but 2 is promising as well just take a really small piece and then wait. You should have some nice growth take it to a T4 maybe T5 and Iโ€™d spawn but you could spawn at T3 if you canโ€™t wait if your sure itโ€™s clean but I tend to take a bit further when I do it from spore



Why, if I may ask? By making more transfers, you just decrease the genetic diversity, so personally I take the least amount of transfers possible. That way I wonโ€™t discard the best genetics from the first clean plate, and I can clone the fastest or biggest fruit, or the nicest cluster. At least thatโ€™s my logic, but Iโ€™m not an expert.

Really only kuz spores are dirty and to clean it up. So I usually take a few different transfers from different areas to get some genetic diversity because I usually dont like keeping the original spore plate unless it's super clean looking and even then I end up cloning or printing from a fruit I like. And if one makes plins then even better.

Sorry for the second photo being so shitty. BBBBUUUUTTTT so excited had to share.

Iโ€™ve had such shitty luck with preserving TWAPE. All my swabs came out contaminated af. So resorted to BRF to get something to clone. This clone transfer was so shitty. I was so frustrated I left it and forgot about it and saw this tony spot of mycelium threading at 7 oโ€™clock I wanted to see if I could possibly snag it and keep going.



And hereโ€™s the transfer 3 days later!!

Hi!

I just started dabbling with agar. Created a few from the LC I bought and also transferred a couple that looked contaminated.

I want to ask you guys if these look healthy to you:

B+



This was transferred from another one as it got contam. Is the lower part fine, or should I be concerned?


Lion's mane



Made from an LC by just squirting into it. A bit all over the place. Should I move this into a clean plate, or will it continue to colonize? It's stuck like this for a while now.


Shiitake



Very slow growing. I think it hasn't changed a bit for a while now. Should I do anything with it?


MDK



Some of the spots are cotton-y looking. Should I do anything with it?


Thank you for your answers!

Some gnarly looking plates lol. Are these all freaking out over some nasty contam? These were started with pieces of a swab stuck into them, kind of a fafo thing I did, so nothings riding on these. One of the plates I streaked with this swab finally germinated the other day and I got a nice transfer from it ๐Ÿค˜

Recipe seems off based on growth.
I made some PDA plates using 500ml water, 100g of boiled potato water and 4g of LME. After putting some LC to the agar the growth seems stunted and only growing upwards for the most part. Mode like cotton balls growing up and not spreading out looking nutrients. Too many nutrients in the recipe? I did purchase some LME, peptone and dextrose premade ones that are looking like expected growth.

The first 2 are the PDA plates I made



The last 3 were the purchased plates

I have gone down the mycology rabbit hole and would like to learn more.
