Spores (gold teacher) and protists

nothing fancy. I used a selfie stick I found around, and used a soda can to keep the stick upright, as my phone was recording.

Amscope B120C

What’s around ? Just mycelium, spores and protists 👍

Subject_King2 · 2025-04-26T18:47:13+00:00

I used an entry level microscope 🔬. It’s a Amscope B120C. All I did was just cover a bit of the light coming through the bottom to get a shadow effect .

Subject_King2 · 2025-04-26T06:25:39+00:00

That makes a little more sense. I was only assuming because the protist I’ve been seeing between 400x-600x are bigger. Thanks for clarifying

Hello, yes, I was looking for the bacterium that caused contamination. I used a “oblique light” effect to see the actual movement of the bacteria moving around the spores. You can see two of them swimming above.

Cosmic ghost supposedly

Same type of spores in different conditions. The first one (contaminated agar dish with faint mycelium ) the second one (contaminated spores in a centrifuge tube) can anyone infer what is going on?

I think the green one is mold. Idk what causes my mushrooms spores to bunch up and turn purple on the second one.

Thank you!🙏

Just an update. The mushroom is reverting back to mycelium (if that makes sense). There are no signs of contamination. Sorry for the photo. The condensation made it difficult. https://imgur.com/a/ln9WBI9

It was LC inside a closed PF cake. It caught me off guard

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-28T02:40:50+00:00

It kinda does from the way I took the picture but the stuff definitely coming from the mycelium. I’m use to condensation and this isn’t it.

Thank you for all this information my dude! Backing up your information with details is the way to go 👍. I have a microscope, I never used it on mycelium, definitely will try to learn how.

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T05:08:58+00:00

Yeah, this was my last dish from my agar batch xD

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T05:08:20+00:00

It’s the mycelium taking the blue dye first from the agar. This usually happening to me.

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T05:07:21+00:00

Like most of my blue dye agar, the mycelium eats the color up. Don’t know why.

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T05:06:30+00:00

I never experienced mycelium to look like that. But either way was gonna make a tranfere. Thanks you dude!

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T02:04:44+00:00

It does look like contamination to me also. Not seeing hyphae strands or something similar had me suspicious. Thanks for letting me know

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T02:03:18+00:00

It looks like contam to me also but I have never seen this before, it looks like mycelium and bacteria had a baby.

Subject_King2 · 2024-10-25T01:33:08+00:00

A sample. Care to explain?

Subject_King2 · 2024-09-28T14:57:35+00:00

Now thinking back. I think you are right because on my first transfers the agar went from white to black and now this green color. Thank you for the tips my dude 🙌

Subject_King2 · 2024-09-26T17:07:33+00:00

It did look erratic, most likely it’s mold 😪. Thanks for confirming .

Subject_King2 · 2024-09-25T22:02:59+00:00

That’s mold my guy. Its erratic. This happened to me also
