Edible Strain Libraries

So far, I have done a horrible job of keeping it labelled. I have accumulated a small library. At the moment, I am beginning my work with agar:
Horse_Meister - Agar Attempts - Log with PHOTS - Open to Experienced Advice
Below is a list of photos of the strains I have in my posession. Some of the labels...most, have been unfortunately smudged. Feel free to guess!






If anyone would like to add to my library, I am sure trading of live culture will not be an issue in the future once I have figured agar out the way I would like to understand it, feel free to PM me.
If you have your own library, post some photos, I'd love to see how you store your spores and the variety you each have. By see, I mean with photos, not just a list

I think I have some culture pics in my gallery, let me see...

The above is really so many different things I can't remember. it's an old picture. This was basically just an incubator (notice that in South Florida, there is no need for a heater, 75-80 F actually needs A/C). The top shelf of the closet you can see different stacks of petri dishes. Each stack is a different species or different culture. Some of the smaller stacks are spore germinations. To the left of the three yellow LC's you maybe can see a culture test tube that is the Agaricus blazei from Aloha Medicinals. (I just saw that tube the other day, and I'm embarrassed when I moved it basically devastated my culture collection. That tube now contains VERY dried out tissue. So that'll be a lot of work...)
Next shelf down is an experimental substrate I was working with (I got so-so results...) on the left. In between the jars on the left and right sides of that shelf you may see a little white box. that is a remote temp/humidity sensor that reads out in my lab so I don't have to open the doors. The rest of the jars were just shaken that day I think. There were all kinds of stuff, but a lot of that was oyster and SRA. The SRA disappointingly did nothing. The oysters rocked.
Not agar, but a few of the jars about two days later

Here's a close up of that test tube from Aloha, apologies on the quality of the pics...

Here's a super crappy picture of a plate that i made using the ABM culture. Luckily I grow better than I can take photos.

Well that's all I have in my gallery. Wish I had pics of the fridge at ECHO.
