Sclerotia Cultivation - mycobag & LC questions (HELP NEEDED)
    #11046956 -

Hello, I am very close to begininga cultivation of sclerotia using a liquid culture solution of Mexicana a strain in sclerotia formula mycobags. Before I do this, I would like to know a few things. Sorry if these questions have already been answered on the forum, I have been looking for a good while and cannot find the answers.

1) What kind of yield should I expect in 1 mycofactory sclerotia formula mycobag?
2) I recently read that for a liquid culture to work, I should introduce fresh air into the jar using a syringe on a weekly basis. How should I go about sterilizing the air which i pull into the empty syringe? I was thinking about flame sterilizing the tip of the needle as I pulled the air through but I am not certain if that would be effect. Also, is once a week enough? How many cc's of air should I introduce to the culture each time I do this?
3) I also read that after the culture is 30 - 40% colonized it can be stored in the refrigerator. What is the advantage of this (if any) and what exactly will the culture look like at about 30 to 40% colonization?

I suppose that is about all I'm looking to find out at this point. I would greatly apprectiate any help I can get.

Thank you,
btm1111

1) No clue. You should know by now that yield varies greatly from grow to grow and from person to person. Anything more than nothing is a good grow.

2) Air is only a problem if you don't use the lc quickly or keep it properly stored. Injecting air can be a bad idea unless you have a perfect sterile tech.

3) Cold slows the aging process of your myc.

Thank you very much Cervantes. Well then, how long would an LC last if it were stored in a refrigerator, without injecting air in it? I had the intention of keeping my LC for a pretty long time and reusing it as I needed it. its going to be a 500 ml LC and I would only be using a max of 40 - 50 cc every few months.

I like to store LC is separate big syringes- 30 or 60 mL. That way if one goes bad, you still have others.
Stored in clean syringes inside a clean bag in a clean drawer in a clean refrigerator that works well, they might last a very long time.
But don't count on more than a year.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?
