Agar transfers and time lapse to show the best place to take agar transfers from 

I wish he would upload more though

Awe.

That's an interesting hypothesis. My curiosity is how each culture faired in the fruiting stages

I thought the same! Slow and steady wins the race. What race?!

I was thinking it was the acute stress of the removal from the network that caused the growth to increase. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" kind if vibe. Perhaps that patch of mycelium was comfortable and lazy until forced on its own to strive without the central base to rely on.

This was fun and eye opening. Above all, what I took away was As long as you get a decent tissue sample, you really can’t go wrong

Choose the most rhizomorphic sections

As scientist I was thinking the same. My hypothesis for the results of this nice experiment and set-up is that the growing rate of the mycelium is an indication of the non-uniformity in the nutritional agar but not the strength of the mycelium itself. The most adapted nutritional agar formulation is where growth is faster. That is aligned with the fact that mycelium is a network of fungi cells all communicating with others and exchanging nutrients. When the organism finds the best conditions, it will better grow close to the source (energy savings), when not (stress, light, competition, contamination, nutrients) it will not grow as good. Saying that it is interesting to observe in this experiment that "well fed" cells have more difficulties to grow when transferred in a less rich or less adapted or stressful environment.

Agreed. Even when he initially took it before watching the growth I was thinking "that's the best spot and it will out perform the others" and then it did! A great confirmation for own future transferring
