Can sclerotia be used to colonize grain directly?
    #11192996 - 10/06/09 11:14 AM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Anyone tried this? I'm just curious.

I did a little searching, and I found other people had asked this question but I could not find any direct and unambiguous answer.

Put as plainly as possible: is dropping one or more harvested & cleaned sclerotia into a jar of fresh grain a viable method for colonizing the jar?

About as viable as doing it with a piece of mushroom tissue, is my guess. Possible but unlikely- use agar for a more certain outcome.

sclerotia is essentially balls of myc. using sclerotia to inoculate grain would be the same as doing a grain to gran transfer unless they sclerotia has already been dried out. then, the chances decrease exponentially the older it is. hope this helps.

Hmm, some disagreement. :strokebeard:

Gonna see if I can't reel in some more replies.  :fishing:

scleortia decompose just like every other fungi, once in the decomposition process it breaks back down into mycelium and will regrow, cutt open the scleortia with a exacto knife or scalpel and take a cutt from the inner tissue and drop it into the grain jar in front of a glovebox or flowhood.

Only take tissue clones from prolific fruiting it's not worth the time to clone poor preforming genetics unless you feel like experimenting for when the time comes.

Has anyone tried it with stones into grain? Or is it theoretical?

I've never done it using sclerotia but it's a fruit body from a fungi, same deal as everything else.

Sclerotia aren't really "fruiting bodies" -- as far as I understand it, they have no reproductive purpose, but are essentially a little "myc fortress" to keep some of the colony alive through harsh weather conditions.

I would presume that this means they'd be well-suited to the purpose of colonizing grain ... but if nobody has tried it ...

I'm gonna remain skeptical with Doc_T. Dude's never led me wrong in the past.

"Cautiously optimistic", I guess. I don't know why it wouldn't work- but somebody needs to do it and post results.

If nobody's done it in a month or two, I'll have the opportunity to test it out then. :shrug:

Sclerotia  are completely capable of colonizing a substrate, thats kinda the point of them, they maintain a microcosm of life and wait for conditions to get better.. i would think that being surrounded by moist grain would constitute a better condition..

Yeah exactly; it seems like they should be perfect, 'cause (from what I understand) that's what they're "made" for.
But until someone tries it, that's just supposition.

i would say throw the stone in some peroxide and then do a sterile transfer unless the stone is still in a sterile environment.

That's basically what I was thinking.
BTW, can you shed any light on what the peroxide is for? I have only a vague idea.

Wait so you're saying that you colonize grain with sclerotia?

peroxode would just kill any spores that were hanging around the stone (like trich etc)

Peroxide doesn't kill spores. But it would help wash them away.
Are you better off with a whole stone or a tissue section?

nature would say whole stone..

feelfunny says cut it open

i say cut into quarters as to allow alot of internal surface area to touch the grain..
