Never even heard of the cabin method before this so thank you

Just read through the guide and that shit is a gamechanger. Wish I could use the cover slip method but I dont have sterile glass on hand :facepalm3:

A little roof made from the agar will work just as well. 

Some also do trenches.

Basically  a ditch across the middle. bout a cm wide.  Culture goes on one side.  Itll grow and jump to the other side leaving contam behind.

I use a SAB, use 90mm PP5 plates from micropose and honestly dont wrap them but tape the edges with clear flexible tape.

Thats most likely the problem and im annoyed because I had resolved to do something about that a bit ago but have forgotten until now.

Would plastic wrap work for plates or should I just order parafilm?




Plastic wrap works great. And cheaper.  You have Team plastic wrap and team para film around here so it really is personal preference. But some swear by one and a lots swear by the other.


You can take a roll of plastic wrap and a box cutter or PVC pipe cutter and cut it into about inch wide sections and then it is super easy to wrap plates with it.

It's definitely easier to work with. Until you've gotten the hang of para film at least.

And you don't have to peel the paper off which can be annoying..at least  until you learn the technique for that as well.



Another option is grafting tape for plants. Just make sure you get the stretchy self-adhesive kind

Try this, it works just as well, no glass required.

Yeah, that's definitely the problem. Like hippe said you can use cling wrap, grafting tape or parafilm :awesomenod:

I guess I shouldnt say cabin.  Because this is what I meant by using an agar roof.  I just figured people read the cabin method and then skip the glass and use do that instead.(what I did) I didn't even realize there was an actual tek to what I described.    Now ill recommend that from now on instead I guess. 

Learn somthn new everyday


I kinda do a mixture of both. 


When you cut the square  piece out for sandwiching. Save it .

Make another smaller square.  Remove that  just drop the culture  there in the void where the sqaure cane fromm.  onto the plastic of the plate surrounded by agar walls. and cover it with the first  agar sandwich piece or "roof" you took.

If it works it works :rockon:

I use disposables so cleaning is not an option, besides I often go back to a plate several times and the residue sounds like a PITA :lol:

I have some shoeboxes fruiting in my room and I was wondering if lighting a candle in the same room would cause any problems.

It will turn your mushrooms into catholics.

I can't think of any reason it would cause a problem unless you think tubs have to be kept in the dark (they don't)

Where would YOU take a transfer from on this plate? Important side note, it looks weird (partly) because the little transfer triangle split in two when smearing it off the end of the scalpel, which is why it's radiaiting out from two spots.

Yeah 12 was looking sexy to me as well, I'm busting out the sab in a few hours so I'm confident I'll outrun it to the edge lol. Appreciate the quick reply :rockon:
