Infinite Syringe?

I got some stoner logic going, and want ya'll to poke some holes in this theory for me.
Heres the theory.
Find a nice mushroom I like, and skin a portion of it with a clean scalpel. and stick a syringe that is 1/2 full of Peroxide diluted to 6ml/Liter @ 3% into the mushrrom, and suck some myc into it, this failing open the syringe and drop some in.
Right so now suck some peroxide water with sugar (what ever you really like) into the syringe and wait. in a few days you should have a nice sterile growing bit of myc in a syringe. Do the normal shake and break routine to mix the myc in the syringe.
Use all but the last 1cc of the syringe, and repeat the previuos step. This should theoretically give you a single isolate to use until the unavoidable occurence of contams happens. So flaming the needle and always using peroxided solutions might be a few steps to take.
The thought process is as follows;
Isolates, what more do I need to say?
Live Innoc is always better than spore innoc as far as speed and (if clean) contams are concerned.
Honey/Liquid "teks" are a wonderful method of quickly starting jars due the former item.
Syringes are handy
Mycelium will survive a mild H2O2 bath while most contams cannot.
Senescense is not as apperant in agar cultures. This is likely due to number of cell divisions being the limiting factor on isolates.

this is basically just a liquid inoculation, you could even expand this further, and use an eberbach or the 9er tek. Blend up that piece of stem, and suck it up. You don't even need to use sugar - as that would only allow contams, a bit of peroxide wouldnt hurt though.

The sugar is required, with out it eventually you would run out of usable myc. I.E. doing liquid tek in the syringe, rather than transfer in/out of jars.

I like this stoner logic. I don't see why it wouldn't work, bro. Great idea.

Wait for it.... Wait for it....
I expect a hitch will arise from someones experience, I just am not sure what its gonna be cause I think I got the bases covered. But I am still new here

try it. when you say sugar I hope you mean dextrose or malt extract. the dextrose will be inviting contams, and peroxide won't make it invulnerable. also, the peroxide and the lack of air in the syringe may slow growth down. still, you may see some success - but you're running the risk of wasted jars or bags.

I keep an infinite running of mycelium syringes by starting spores in honey water and making syringes. the last syringe in the batch is used to start a new jar of HW ad nauseum.

I am just thoerizing the jar step can be skipped. as for o2 there is a little bit introduced by the H2O2.

He's right H2O2 breaks down on its own into O2. It breaks down in heat, light you name it, it's not that stable. That's why it's kept in a dark bottle with a label that says "keep tightly closed, at room temperature and do not shake" The only reason it wouldn't convert to O2 is that it would be in an equilibrium: to convert from a liquid to a gas would create pressure on the syringe. I doubt the syringe would budge too much so very little O2 would be created. That's my 2 cents. - Later, @cro Edit: I was being dumb, it probably would create sufficient O2 as it would just spit water out the needle until the same pressure is built up in the needle cover.

only problem with cloneing is the rapid degeneratin that will occure when you clone the clone the clone..exc exc exc..you are going to have to start from spores again...and with a clone the tisue must be 100% contaim free and the chances of that are slim and none...unless your in a room with positive pressure..and thats unlikely...just build your self a nice positive pressure golve box and print 3-4 caps a run..that's more than sufficent for keeping it cheap and easy...unless your trying to make some kind of new super shroom..then go for it

ahh but there is no cloning, see the original isolate is still alive in the syringe, and gets fed regularly. The degeneration you mention I beleive is senescence I mentioned, which the low number of cell divisions that a syringe goes through, would drastically delay compared to taking a new sample at every fruiting.
And as for contams while peroxide is damn good, yes care must be taken for any long term success. And once a syringe goes sour, you can clean it and resample the isolate still growing. This being done the isolate is now 1 full generation weaker than originally but I suspect under proper conditions a person could produce 1 orginism for a year, maybe more.

i do think degeneration occurs as only a few spores have to compete for the nutrients unnlike multispore into brf or whatever medium where the fastest best spores get the food ala survival of the fittest. oh yea for future ref my karo syringes i've done have always been slower than multispore.

You could keep the same culture around for years before it started loosing vigor.
If you get a really good culture, hang on to it. It's the "secret" to some of the best grow ops.

He's not talking about spores he's saying he would use a clone which would be one set of genes and these genes would not degenerate because he will always be using the same genes. These genes will never change other than random mutations which is not to likely.

that is true as well, but what i was saying is that mycelium produces peroxidase, a compound whose function is to force h202 to break down.

perhaps someone can explain why this isn't cloning or at least clearly define cloning. My understanding of the term suggests that this is cloning. Perhaps start a slant and a Malt Extract liquid culture. When degeneration occurs go back to the slant.

After a few days, it can be placed in the fridge. Oxygen and nutrients won't be such an issue with cold storage.

Sorry poor choice of words on my part. When you isolate a daikaryote all of its offspring are from the same genetics so yes it is a clone. The Issue brought up about multiplication of errors, senescence is again an issue but not as much of one as inoccing a jar with the isolate, spawning to bulk, and reisolating from there.
The following thread gives a very good explanation of what I am talking about and why growth in a syringe would not cause as rapid of ageing as the usual method of isolating does.
