Isolating healthy myc
    #4158008 - 05/10/05 02:58 PM (19 years, 13 days ago)

So I got my petri dishes and some PDA.
I have a contaminated Cambodian syringe lying around. It's contammed with lipstick mold.

What I want to do is attempt to grow the mycellium on agar and try to isolate a healthy spot..would this work? Has it been dones successfully? I only have two strains right now and I really don't wanna toss them Cambodians..

Sure. If the lipstick mold starts growing, be sure to use a glovebox and not a flowhood. A flowhood will blow the mold spores everywhere.

I'd place only one drop from the syringe on the center of a petri dish. Immediately transfer any mushroom mycelium you find to a new dish. Make several dishes in advance to transfer into. As soon as the mycelium starts growing in the new dish, transfer some of the new growth to a second new dish before the mold has a chance to get going. I've had it take as many as four transfers to get a clean culture.

since the water in the syringe wont stay in one spot on the dish i would squirt the whole syringe onto a coffee filter and let it dry. Now use the spores on the coffee filter to do your agar work

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
