Incubation

It is now necessary to let the spores incubate. Place the agar filled petri dishes that have been inoculated in a dark, warm (86 F) place for a week. After a week check on them, they should show signs of growth. Over the next week or two you will start to see white mycelium forming and growing out from the center of the dish. During this phase you will probably notice that there are different types of mycelium growing. Some may seem strandy (rhizomorphic) and some may seem cottony (tomentose). The characteristic of different types of mycelium growing on the same dish is called Sectoring, this is normal and expected. Keep an eye on the dishes and look for mycelium that looks especially fast growing and that is very rhizomorphic (strandy, rope like), this is the mycelium that we want. You do not want to let the mycelium reach the sides of the dishes, as the sides of the dishes are prime spots for contaminants to be lurking. Once the dish is 3/4 colonized it is time to go onto the next step.

Every  higher  temperatures will cause a profound sweating of the agar.
I keep my agar at room temperature, I am not that in a hurry

*mumbling strange words as he goes down to remove the plates from the incubator
he just placed them in couple minutes ago*

heh thx for the input.
if one is just about to store the petri in the inc till its about 90%
would that also be a mayor facor to water content loss or should
that be ok?
like remove it after that point and store at roomtemp.

yes the people usually turn them upside down,it's good if there is concedation.
i did yesterday my first agar work. i put most of my petri dishes in my incubator upside down

nice, lets flip em over
did you use peroxide agar for ur first try? i did - with great success.
