Blending up a fruit body for grain innoculation

Im growing tapalpa strain among several others, but there is one fruit which is the biggest, baddest, and fastest shroom of em all!! I do not have agar....but if i were to throw this sucker into my blender with some distilled water and h2o2, then pour over preped rye would this work? (using the ON button of course...) I believe it would, but when cloning i hear that its best to take from the inside of the stem base. Would the excess tissue not be viable, or could it lead to contamination?
....i need an answer pretty soon as i get off work in a couple hours and hope to have my info by then......i'll prolly try it either way...
Thanks guys!

If you take it from the inside of the stem, it should work out fine. The outside skin will lead to contaminants being injected direcly into jars.
Just remember to be pretty sterile, and don't use too much water or you'll throw off the water content of the grain.

You won't need much. Take it from the inside.

Yeah, i kinda thought that the outside tissue would be usless.... Whats the best way to harvest that inner meat? If i split the shroom in half and then scoop it out from the stalk would that work? any other ways?

You could cut the stems into small disks, cut the disk into pie wedges, and then cut the skin side off.

Hmmmm.....OK!, but i have a small bathroom and a hepa filter. Should i work directly in front of the air flow, or let it clean the bathroom for 1/2 an hour then just work quickly?

Too many mold spores in the bathroom. Don't do it there.

My apartment is really small, plus i have a cat and dog in the main room as well! Only other alternative is the bedroom and its prolly the worst!.... Mabye i'll wipe my bathroom a bit with dissinfectant, and then filter the air....isn't that what filters are for? I've had success and failures in both my bathroom and living room.

Actually i got agar and petri dishes, so i'll be researching all that in the next day or so. As for my big shroom, i'm printing it now and the stem is drying out. I'm doing a grain to grain with a lipa yai jar i got from a trade tonight instead of the clone. I think it would be better to do it through agar anyways...
