Shroomok: GT plates C and E - good so far B and F - have questionable areas to be discussed Mycelia P: Is D plate a Pe6 swab? : yea Mycelia P: Is the white dots liquid or mycelium? On the D plate : im not sure, i did it using a sterile cotton swab and rolled it in sort of a streak/zig zag pattern. So MSS sprayed directly onto the swab in a SAB then rolled/wiped onto the plate
