I've been doing this for at least a month now, with little success. This time, I took a few extra precautions and used DME/agar mix.

I looked at the sample this morning and I don't really see anything that looks like yeast (except for the little brown/reddish spots).

Can anybody identify what I have? Here's a link to a few pics: http://celticman81.imgur.com/wild_yeast_redux#eUJwi

Any helpful tips are much appreciated!
 
Yeah, that would be it. I'm interested in the brown/orange things. They don't look like any yeast I've seen, which is why I am wondering what it is. I've been looking around online for pics and I can't seem to find anything to identify it. I thought halophile archaea bacteria at first, but it doesn't quite seem to fit the bill either -- nor would it make any sense, considering the conditions.
