This week, I got to officially start on my very own experiment!!!
As mentioned in my previous post, my experiment revolves around potassium. My mentor and I decided to incorporate this very metal via the agar plates. Rather than the usual set of ingredients used to create the standard agar plate, I added a particular amount of potassium bicarbonate to the mix in addition to the regular components. As shown in the picture to the left, I prepared 3 separate mixtures--one of which is the control medium.
(Here is a bonus picture! :D) This is me in the compete lab gear head to toe. (except my sterilized clogs aren't shown here). In this image, I am preparing plates (moving the spore onto the agar plates) as mentioned in the post below.

Great pictures! Your images are as professional and interesting as your writing has become. They are the perfect illustrations of your work. I love how deep in thought you are in the last one - the dedicated mycologist! The hairnet really makes it perfect. :)
