One monotub two strains?
    #10588022 - 06/28/09 06:42 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

Ok so I want to innoc like 16 jars but I have no two same strain syringes but have a couple of different variety. I also want a decent amount of innoc for faster performance. I have searched and find people say it could cause problems (mutants), some say it's fine, some say they will fight, some say you'll get crosses, some say you get a little of both or you might just get one.

My main question is can I mix 8 jars of spawn of one strain to one side of the monotub and 8 jars of another strain to the other half... if that would be suffice to grow two strains in the same tub and if they would fruit at full potential. Any problems doing this?

I read that mixing them via inoculation is a toss up but I didn't find much if I just mixed up the crumbled cakes....of both strains...would this be a problem? Is the above idea better for using more than on strain or should I mix cakes or innoc?

I searched but this is a very confusion subject to research. I have not found anything to suggest separating the spawn to the bulk wouldn't work so any advice mucho appreciated.

Yeah, do it half and half. Put a piece of cardboard in to help set it up, then pull that out carefully.

Ok sweet so by help "set up" do you mean I pull out the cardboard after colonization of both sides or do I take it out after each side is all mixed up?

Sorry for the bombardment of Qs...

What ever happened to a cube is a cube!! I've never had mycelium battles or only one strain win...I've currently mixed equador with CRS on accident of course but the result has been 2 flushes of very nice mushrooms just my experience.......e

sounds like a lot of spawn for a monotub.

Should work well either way on the divider.

I think ive actually done this with 1 of my mini monos. I crumbled 3 cakes into it.

And then a few days later i was going to do another and noticed that i was missing 1 jar of 3 of the same strain which isnt in any of my 2 litre soda bottles, so we will see how it goes.

I seem to remember RR syaing that different strains have a 1 in 4 chance of joining.

the certainly dont battle or compete.

If your using spores, dont use more solution, you dont really get faster colinisation. What growth you initially see faster is all the spores germinateing and its ust a larger mass of mycelium, it still has to join together with the other networks which wastes energy.

Ive not noticed much difference between jars that accidentaly got too much solution compared with those that got just a 1/4 CC per hole in pf cakes. The cake that got too much showed alot more mycelium to begin with, but colinised in roughly the same time as the other jars.

noc up all the same, are you concerned you don't have enough of one syringe to do 16 jars? if so just put a jar of sterile water in your glove box with your jars. when your syringe gets low draw up some water and continue, and repeat if necessary. when jars are all noced up fill your syringe up for next time.:wink:

Chances are BOTH types of cube would struggle for superiority and this energy could be better spent if it were directed into fruiting. True, the results could be negligible.

However...

Dividing the two would also, make it easier to know which was which. :wink:

I remember RR said they don't compete. Cube is a cube, they won't fight and if this dude wants to do half and half I don't think it'll be a problem at all. Kinda might be interesting to see them both preform in identical conditions.

They DO compete or people wouldn't isolate strains. :wink:

But either way, the results will usually produce shrooms.

You can grow two strains side by side in a tub. I've done it. It worked fine. Both sides fruited just like I was expecting them to.

They'll compete for nutrients and water, but they won't kill one another off. They will both live and fruit if they are both viable fruiting strains and are both given proper conditions.

Like Doc said, they can both prosper and fruit together. Or another possibility is the two separate dikaryotic networks can fuse together and exchange genetic sets. I forget the scientific name for this, I remember it from one of Stamets books.

Let them combine and see what comes out of it, and if you get something a little different mail me a spore print, or a piece of tissue. :wink:

Not exactly, and that isn't why we isolate strains.

The same thing happens every time you use multispore inoculation, which could just as accurately be called multi-strain inoculation.  They don't compete any more than the thousands of hyphae that emerge from an inoculation site.  I've done this hundreds of times. 

Try it different ways just for grins and giggles.  Inoculate two holes of a jar with one strain and the other two holes with another.  Or, inoculate each of the 4 holes with a separate syringe(strain), for four strains per jar.  You can mix them at spawning or mix them at inoculation.  Do a few each way.  I doubt you'll be able to tell any difference between them all, at least no more than you'd normally see in a multispore grow.

It gets somewhat technical but this is what happens when both strains grow in the same substraight; it generally creates a new strain. I can't explain it at a genetic detail, but the same is true if you pick a wild fungi and it is growing next to something poisonous; the result is a poisonous fungi.

Actually Mr. TC we isolate so that we can crank out consistently potent/prolific/large fruits as these traits tend to be genetic most of the time. This is why we don't always keep some isolates we make.

They will as RR had said not fight against each other just consume the nutrients separately. You will not loose in yields in any noticeable way. Especially if you are doing them the way the OP said by dividing them half and half.

edit: wow slow reply on my part

That my friend is flat-out wrong.  I can't count the number of P cyanescens I've picked that were right next to and sometimes touching deadly galerinas. I've picked edibles in the forest that were inches away from death caps.  They don't transfer from one to another.

Thats awesome!

I have 1 jar doing exactly what RR said, inoculate with 2 different sttrains, i have 8 inoc holes, 2 grouped together with 2 different strains, i need to birth that jar, the damn things pinning.
