    Today I bought a basket of cacti. They all were poorly potted into one shallow pot. It was a mess, I decided to take them out of their dish, and transfer onto a plate to let the roots dry before I decide to split and repot them into bigger pots. Unfortunately none of them were tagged and I always like to know what species I have in my collection.

    The last one is a bit sick probably from salt/mineral build up, it will start looking better in a few months. Any guesses what the new guys are?

    I also picked up a not so healthy looking Christmas cactus[​IMG]

            @zakna0693 i have to admit that your cacti and agar slants are a whole new realm for me, but you seem to have a good set-up, and I'm intrigued with what's growing in the test-tubes;).

              Aha I enjoy growing all types of things ;), these are glow in the dark mushrooms that I made slants of a few days back. Just looked under a microscope the black bits are just carbon I'm not worried they all look to be growing very nicely. I'm actually thinking about selling/trading a few of these cultures

                Culture slants of this are worth 30usd online so if anyone's looking to get their hands on one of these and has something they are willing trade but doesn't want to pay 30$+shipping send me a pm :)

                  Bringing up an old thread, but for good reason. Here's an update on my glow in the dark mushrooms. Even in low light they are bright
