chlorophyll is green because it is not green
the reason it appears green to silly humans is because it is comprised of material that absorbs all colors except green
it reflects green light because it cant absorb green light
it cant absorb green light because it is not green
we see it as green because the cones in our eyes that perceive color
work that way, they respond to what is missing in the electromagnetic spectrum that is presented to them not to what is there
as with all our perceptions reality is actually beyond our immediate grasp and must be reasoned

I see fallacy here. We perceive whatever color (or combination of color) light is reflected into our eyes. An object that is blue will reflect ONLY blue light and maybe some other colors making that specific shade/tint of blue, while absorbing all other colors.
Therefore, chlorophyll must be green as it reflects green light.

yeah i was reading about sectoring and trying to get a good strain from it. i undersatnd how you should grow, and choose the best, and grow it, and choose the best of that, and grow that until you have a strong strain of myc, but does doing that make a big difference? do it make faster growing, more fruit, more potent?
also i got pins! first flush in a few days it appears!
oh yeah and i have 3 poo jars, and one went bad. stunk up my whole incubator...
If someone is making transfers on agar, they are most likely tring to isolate a substrain.(single mating)or(mono culture). If you transfer the fast growing rhizo growth each transfer: sooner or later you will get growth that grows in all directions fairly evenly with no sectoring all rhizomorphic. This is an isolated substrain. You have just reduced all other genetic variation of multispore. Most people try to get about five or six isolates and grow them out in test batches to test which monocultures fruit well and have the traits you desire. Potent ect.. So yes once you have tested isolates: keep the good cultures in long term storage such as master slants: you can grow the isolates out any time you see fit and you will know exactly how the fruits will come out because you reduced all other variation.

chlorophyll surrounds a photocenter, where a series of redox reactions cause an electron flow and force flow of H+ ions into another series of chemical reactions related to production of ATP. Chlorophyll's job in all of this is to absorb light in the red and blue spectrum and use resonance energy transfer to transfer the light energy down to the photocenter in the form of vibrational kinetic energy. The reason that it is green is that light in the green wavelength cannot be used and in this case the wavelength is detrimental to the resonance energy transfer, attempting to cancel out the vibrations caused by absorption of red and blue light.
and it sounds to me like rhizomorphic growth is better simply because the root-like hyphae bundles are able to transfer nutes and water from anywhere on the colonized substrate to where its really needed, which is the fruiting surface...thus more pins can be supported.
Also dont pins start out as bundled up mycelium? seems to me like pre-bundled rhizomorphic mycelium would pin better and faster than non-bundled tomentose mycelium. Just a thought...
hope this helps...

By transfering rhizomorphic cultures: you are choosing the fastest growing mycelium, thus your culture has reduced genetics towards fast colinization. Fast colonization is prefered in the race to colonize the substrate before contamination can get a foot hold. Even if you dont isolate a substrain you are transfering away from weak growing substrains.
