Mushroom fruit to inoculate straight coir?
    #11723246 - 12/26/09 09:10 PM (15 years, 24 days ago)

I was wondering if you could just take mushroom fruit, and mix it up with pasteurized coir? I have taken small fruits and inoculated grain jars with success. Could you then case and fruit that inoculated coir? Would it be fruitful or not because Myc is old? I searched the forum and could not find any info. Has anybody tried something similar?

cloning a small amount of myc/fruitbody to a jar is one thing. I doubt you would have success trying to inoculate a large amount of any substrate though, especially if said substrate was not contained and completely sterile.

if your asking if you can substitute colonized spawn with ground up or pieces of a fruit body, then i would say no, no you cant.

coir has no nutrients. its just used for bulk. nothing would happen at all. look up how to make an lc, put a piece of shroom in there, let it get cloudy, do a few test jars to make sure its not contammed and thennn do some grain jars.

If coir had no nutrients, than why would we use it as a bulk sub?  Even verm as SOME nutrients...

Why'd you do that? I mean I just can't make up any reason for anything like that. Instead you could eat your shrooms :crazy2: and take the myc, crumble it and mix with the coir. Myc can be used also after it has given fruits, have done that. Still I wouldn't use plain coir. Just can't find any base for your plan, it'd help if you could just a bit explain your reasons...:shrug:

coir most assuredly has plenty of nutrients. you are confused my friend.

without cleaning up the myc on agar, you would have a very low success rate, if any at all, when trying to spawn spent mycelium to coir.

Thanks for the quick replies! The reason I ask, is that I read somewhere that some folk inoculate straw with mushrooms that they want to grow. I really wish I remember where I read it. This would be an easy way to expand your grow op. No?

I have used small mushrooms to inoculate jars of wbs with great success.

I've been growing for a bit now, I know how to make an lc, but rather do things as simple as possible. Why involve needles and jars etc.. when you could just take some fruits and pasteurized coir or straw, mix together and wait to colonize.

Somebody on this forum has to have tried it!

Also, is myc from my jars that I inoculated with mushrooms considered "old" myc or is it "fresh" isolated myc? Will it be slow? Catch my drift?

I really appreciate input from everybody.

Chances are the coir would go bad before it was fully colonized, don't waste your time...just mix it with equal parts spawn and it will fully colonize in 3-5 days after mixing...

It's possible and I've done it before. We do it on agar to clone tissue all the time. It's not much different. Use a small piece from inside the mushroom itself using a glovebox or flowhood and put it in your grain jars/bags.

I would never use it to start bulk subs though unless it's just coir and it was sterilized. Like mentioned, it may go bad before it finishes colonizing.

transfering spent, mold spore laden, old mycelium into sterile jars with is very different then cleaning it up on agar first or cloning the inside of a fruit tissue.

very different.

I wasn't referencing anything you or anyone else besides the original poster has said. There's already enough misinformation in this thread.

Why the hell would you do that in this situation? That's not what we're talking about.

This post is filled with misinformation.

I will just have to try myself. Thank you for all that replied.

you will more than likely fail if you attempt to colonize any amount of non-sterilized coir with a fruitbodie :shrug:

the misinformation in this thread doesn't even pertain to your original question, so heed the good advice and don't do it.

I never sterilize coir. I've always just pasteurized.

I will still give it a try, because I have not found anything that firmly suggest against it. I haven;t seen attempted. Again there seems to be mostly misinformation on this thread.
Also no one has said anything about "old" myc question.

I wish a trusted cultivator chime in.

Well try it and see. That's the best way to get an answer.

I said I've done it before. I sterilized the jar of coir though because I didn't think the small amount of tissue I used would be fast enough to take over before any contam set in.

Also if the myc is old and yellow colored it may be dead and will not grow anymore.

The bigger question I have is why would you want todo this? There are better methods IMO.

it could work i guess, but i was under the impression that coir alone is not that good of a substrate material. Personaly, i've used it a few times and dont care to use it unless im mixing it with another substrate.  Coir is supposed to be non nutritious casing layer.  Good for moisture, but i dont think mycelium will colonize on it as easy as your thinking

that is very old/outdated information. coir makes a HORRIBLE casing layer due to the fact that it is in fact, very nutritious.

coir works great by itself and many people have proven this time and time again. I, as many people do, get wall to wall flushes using straight, uncased coir.
