Love these videos! Super informative! A little tip I’ve seen done before is mixing activated charcoal with your agar plates so you can see growth with easier contrast as well as its slight antiseptic effect! Don’t stop doing what you do!
really simple but instructive video, thank you. I wish there was a step-by-step on how you can sterilize your environment and check if everything is ready for work
I had some spore prints that were contaminated with bacteria or yeast. Every section of my streaks were just a cream colored liquid after a few days and no mycelium grew. I was sad because it was from some really choice mushrooms. My problem was that I didn't put them into a still air box to get the spore print and I placed the foil in a book instead of a sanitized plastic ziploc bag 😔 The learning curve can be quite a battle in the beginning
@@ScottWConvid19 If you didn’t use damp rid crystals I would blame it on that too. If the spore print is wet it will surly contaminate. Here’s the video about taking a clean/dry spore print: ruclips.net/video/URHWiiZDwmU/видео.html

@@SporenSprout Well that's something I've never heard of before. Thanks I'll check it out! 👍🏼👍🏼
Do spore prints grow in soil?😂
