My mycology professor might crap his pants next week
    #9692564 - 01/28/09 12:52 AM (15 years, 22 days ago)

I went to my first mycology lab today. If you don't know what mycology is... then WTF are you doing on the Shroomery?

Anyway. The objective of today's lab was to make PDA (potato dextrose agar) plates (petri dishes). I LOLed a bit, I've been doing that shit since high school. So we made the plates, 5 of them to see if our technique was good for sterile plates. One of the plates we took home. The teacher wanted us to see how fungus is all around us or some shit like that. He suggested we leave it open somewhere for 10 minutes, or add a soil or dust sample.

I did him 3 better. First, I swabbed a fungus that is growing on the pot of a potted plant in my apartment, then I swabbed the front door knob for my apartment building. In the 4 corners that I didn't swab... I scraped spores from some random ass spore print I took from a mushroom growing in the woods.

I think he might shit himself a little bit when he sees my agar plate next week. It'll be full of fungi and bacteria. This class is going to be fun. Little does he know that I've been messing around with mycology for about 8 years. :smile:

What pre-requisite did you take to take mycology? I would love to be able to take that class. Usually intensively scientific stuff bores me, but I've picked up several mycology books and been more interested in how mushrooms function than I would of thought.

You have no clue how tempted I am. If I had my prints from back home (GA) he would have mycelium of Psilocybe cubensis, weilli, atlantis, naematoliformis and Panaeolus subbalteatus.

I think the prereq for Mycology at my school was "Foundations of Cellular and Molecular Biology." A craptastic course.

Prereq for Foundations was Intro Bio 101 and 102.

Edit: I'm going to sleep now, but I'll update this thread with pictures of the plate through out the week. In fact, I'm going to check it now.

Mycology is one of the units in the new degree I'm starting this year. If it's anything like yours, it sounds awesome.

Reminds me of my job in a way!

I came to sheet metal knowing next to nothing,
but was able to take to if fast because I've been
obsessed with the quantification of 3-dimensions
since as long as I can remember!

Ok, so I lied. Here is the plate that I inoculated 6 days ago:


The horizontal was swabbed with fungus from a planted pot. The vertical was the door knob to my apartment (which didn't have much at all, not what I was expecting.
I also put a bunch of random ass spores from spore prints of mushrooms that I was supposed to put under the scope and identify. I never got around to that, but did see how they worked on agar. To sum it up: FAIL. =\

Er, how should it have looked? I've never grown fungus on agar (not intentionally anyway).

It should have looked like fine/fuzzy  spider-webby mycelium. Instead the slime mold took over. Which is actually kind of convenient because we were just talking about slime molds in lecture.
