Live Tissue to LC procedures?

Ok I'm looking for proper procedures to to transfer live tissue from an outdoor patch shroom to an LC.
Please critique what I've got so far:
1. Pick the given specimen, place into plastic baggy 2. Place all materials in glove box 3. Let glove box settle 4. Flame Sterilize scalpel 5. Wipe outside of shroom with alcohol swab 6. Split shroom in half 7. Cut out a small chunk from the center, up near the cap 8. Dunk chunk into 10% bleach solution 9. Open LC jar & drop chunk in 10. Close LC
Anything you see wrong or that would increase my chances of success?

If its wild I don't know if that would work. That's like adding a contamination straight into the LC.
Your best bet in reproducing a wild specimen would be to drop a sample into agar and isolate or making a spore print. You can drop the tissue directly into a grain jar but it being wild means its covered in a fruit basket of problems.

Covered being the keyword there. A sample from inside the mushroom should be clean.
I have spores & could do an MS inoculation to the LC, but I wanted to try a "cloning" of a viable strain.

If I were you I would Spore to LC and after you get an indoor sample I would try cloning to LC with that. Just because you get tissue from inside doesn't make it clean.
To be honest tissue to LC sounds like it won't work. Only reason I think that is because if the tissue breaks down you will have a small bit of rot floating around. That's just what I hypothesize.

Also to truly clone or "isolate desirable characteristics" You should use agar. Then you can Isolate the part of the mushroom that made you want to clone it in the first place.

I'm aware of the differences between "cloning" and isolation.

It does work. It's been done many times.

Well I wish you luck, I also use LC I think I will give it a shot.

Sounds like you are making it to hard. yes wipe the shroom down before it goes in the GB. Have two LC's ready, tear the shroom in half the center is sterile. Take a peice from the base of the shroom(the white meaty part) drop it in an LC. Then take a sample from the top near the cap again the white meaty part and drop it in an LC. GL, CH

If not straight to agar then a print to LC sounds like the best way to go.

I've done this many times personally the only difference is I use tissue from under the epidermal layer of the cap three or four small chunks. I place those chunks in a 3% peroxide bath for a few minutes then drop them in the LC. FYI a tissue sample from a live fruit body is the best isolate you can have besides of course a better tissue sample from a better fruit body. LOL

I thought fruit tissue could still sector? Meaning it isn't actually an isolate?
I could be wrong there just thought that's what I've read.
I did one for the hell of it to see if I'd succeed.
