I must say these are looking better than i expected! This is so, so very cool.

I gave all my jars a good shake yesterday and so far theyre all looking good, and today ill make another batch of grain to put the amazonian agar in. The petri still has the tiny speck in the corner that @beluga said could be yeast, but since im out of agar i need to do something with this stuff before its too late. So the plan is to first remove the piece of agar in the corner with the yeast on it, then cut upt the mycelium into 4 pieces and put it to grain. If im lucky at least one will become master spawn with no contam. If im really lucky theyll all be ok. Its an experiment.

Here are my 2 shoeboxes as of this morning. They pumped out a lot more pins than i expected. Very happy with flush numero uno.

I would leave it be and just work around it. Yeasts will stay put on the media.. if you stir it up, you might easily spread it.

Tubs look great, brother! If you had some dishes, I'd say grab a clone of that big fella in the cluster top left. But you'll have plenty more opportunities for that.

I have to say it. I’m sorry, but it’s like looking at all these baby penises.

It gets weird when you start to think about it. The fact that humans are believed to have evolved from fungus.. we are basically evolved fungal bodies.. And the fact that a penis looks like a mushroom.. 🤯

Well i had 2 jars of bacterially contaminated spawn that was about 90% colonized before it stalled out on me. And i had a dead spider plant. Decided to put together a little "pineapple pen" and leave it out on the front porch to see what happens lol.

Schnikeys these grow quick. I swear if you look long enough you'll see them move.

Also grabbed a petri of agar off my buddy to attempt cloning that biggun. But he said its best to do 3 or 4 plates with clones because they have a higher probablility of contaminating. Unfortunately he only had a few petris made up and could only spare one today but hes going to make up some ketchup cups i can have next week. But he also said even if it does contaminate i can still transfer some clean mycelium a couple times once I get more plates made up.

Unreal. 18 hrs later they are spitting veils on some already. Looks like today is harvest day! So exciting!View attachment 1073493

Yusssss!!
And, yeah, clone plates are definitely prone to contaminating, but I've had a lot that were good to go straight from the clone tissue.

Just tear the stipe in half with your gloved/sanitized fingers, sterilize your knife, and cut out a chunk from the inner stipe that didn't come in contact with your fingers or the outside skin of the mushroom.

Happy harvesting!

Thanks @beluga. I think im actually just going to take a spore print from it instead, i'll use the agar petri to put some of my PES Amazonian on.

Its amazing watching these finish up. I swear you can see them moving if you look long enough. Second shoebox should come down tomorrow, it looks about a full day behind this beauty
