As said below, some great content. Kinda hard to see through the frosted plates. Was wondering if you could also describe a bit of what you are seeing when checking plates. For example, the "good" plates had some dark spots at the center of the colonies but I'm guessing those were just spore clumps. Learning to Identifying tam early on plates would be super helpful. Mush Appreciation!
Yes, those are just visible spores. Bacteria looks completely different than mycelium, it's almost like a booger on the plate. Contams will also generally grow faster than mycelium sometimes to if you have something that looks a little on the fuzzy side and is moving and growing EXTREMELY fast it's more than likely contam

Searching Amazon; do we need the “nutrient agar” or will the “vegan gelatin replacement agar” work? Thank you
