Very cool. Thank you for your contributions to us hobbyist mycologists!

Awesome I have the same wipes and slip covers!

I'd recomend looking out for sterile technique (gloves, desinfecting the slides, turn on flowhood, etc..) while slide preping to not introduce false positives.

yes this would be ideal

Lo❤ve the content, thanks 🙏

I hastily bought a couple of microscopes thinking that I could easily see mycelium - I wanted party to do some experiments with my Son but I don't know what clean mycelium looks like and I can't find anything online that is definitive - I've found contaminates but its still pretty hard to differentiate between the two - even with snowy white clean looking samples, its still difficult. Can you show what a clean plate should look like?

🔥nice😎

My fav dude

So you prepared your slide with a non-sterile pipette? You have no idea if the contam was from the pipette or the LC.

Whatever you do, never ever drop a thin slide on your carpet…. 😂 If u do, vacuum very very VERY well.

What if our understanding of fungi is based and spores can connect a third hypae before it finishes merging into one?

some species do this it’s called Di-Mon mating and is spontaneous in nature but can happen in vitro as well.

What should it look like? Everything you pointed out was the bad stuff. What does the mycelium look like under the scope?

it was taken over by the yeast, look at our microscopy series and the video for finding clamp connections

Can you put a syringe filter on the tube, them put that tube into larger container with desiccant.

good idea 👍

Off topic question. Do you design your own labels and your logo? If not where or how did you get them? I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out the world of online design and print 😢

I don't understand why you love concave slides so much, all it does is make the sample less flat and therefore less easy to focus on.
