I guess I haven't decided as of yet... I was thinking I've watched the battle long enough. Seems to me I can do both, transfer some of those pieces out that haven't come into direct contact, and leave the others to see what happens. The pan cyan myc is definitely getting moved, and I'd like to try and get some isolates from that multispore plate of the ps. galindii, but the shitake tissue xfer seems to be doing good, I'd about given up on it then pow!, no visible contams so i'll let it grow out a bit more then transfer some bits to new plates as well as perhaps a jar or two.

Hopefully this next round of plates won't have so much condensation, not sure what it was that cause it in the first place. Maybe just need to ante up on the agar.

As for the current set of fruits, I'm guessing the small size is due to lack of nutrients as I didn't spawn to anything. As the sclerotias that I've found have the seeds they are growing in, like within them sometimes, I'm a little wary of growing sclerotia in any sort of dung. lol. Dunno why that is, we eat the mushrooms that grow off the dung..

This is an interesting species, with both sclerotia as well as fruitbodies being produced. Seems that the fruits are often growing from sclerotia. And that sclerotia production continues, even if the majority of sclerotia is harvested b4 spawning to a tray. Haven't tried not harvesting the sclerotia yet. Should be interesting to see what if any strain variations appear out of the multispore, assuming I'm able to get it that far.
