I poured this agar maybe a week ago. Many of them have started to grow this white stuff around the edges. Is this contamination? I have not put the spore prints on the agar yet. Should I trash these or could they still be used if nothing is growing in the middle?
These have been under fruiting conditions for maybe a week or two. They seem to have stalled out. I’ve been making sure to keep the sides of the container misted (even though they were not in the picture). Been fanning once or twice a day (mainly once). What do you all think could be the problem?
Where can I buy a cheap dehydrator? The lowest I’m seeing online is about $34… is that the lowest it’s going to get? Should I just go with one for that price?
Need help decided if I should pick more of what I think are aborts or just leave the tub alone for now. Seems like they are stalling out and I’m trying to save the tub.
Many of my mushrooms have growths and other mushrooms growing out the tops of them. Any idea why this happened?
First time using agar and this weird growth is in my jars and also starting to grow in my substrate. Is this normal or not?
