You could try to cut out the mouldy bit, but it will probably spread its spores everywhere in doing so?. Or you can do what you did earlier and transfer the healthy segment to a new plate?!. I am very slap dash with most things i do... but sometimes... i get away with it

definitely transfer away from the contamination. it should clean up nicely if you do it in a still air environment

Top notch advice here. The last update is I lost 6 plates which got contaminated with the trichoderma. I still have 9 fully colonised plates which I plan to transplant them to grain tomorrow. Will post some pics too. Distracted and Sally thanks heaps for the advice and you too therefore.

To answer your question Distracted I am just trying to grow some oysters from a spore print to agar and then to budgie seed which to me is having fun cos is all new and exciting.

I think I am going to have heaps of spare plates. What do I do with them ? What's the best way to store them?
