Karo / malt extract ?
    #14291198 - 04/14/11 04:34 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I've made 4 liquid mycelium jars, each different strains (Ecuador, Mazatapec, F+ , and Tasmanian) using just distilled water & light corn syrup (karo). They've all done great. My question is, since mycelium grows so well in that liquid, has anyone ever tried adding corn syrup or light malt extract to their BRF/verm cakes, or in bulk substrates? You would think the addition of those would give the shroomies more nutrition, or at least help them fruit better.

Yes i have tried them to cakes and they colonize fast..  Best type of LC is ELME/dex mix..  It doesnt mean it will fruit better or anything like that, just LC gives you faster and more aggresive colonizaion..  Also you can't inject LC into coir or poo unless you have made grow bags..  But the grow bags have grains and other things in them to give the LC somehthing to start growth on..

Extra Light Malt Extract/Dextrose..

I meant more like adding ELME or dex to the actual substrate, or un-inocculated brf cake. Pretty much like an extra ingredient. Of course if you added karo to PFtek cake, you might have to add less water...I dunno lol.

That hasn't been done to my knowledge and I think for the simple fact is that it would have a greater chance to contaminate..  Try it and see what happens lmao

I read something a while ago about dunking in a karo after birthing, but never saw a conclusive decision about whether or not there's any merit to this.

I'm guessing that since that thread was from a couple years ago, either it didn't work, or nobody cared enough to try it.

i'd add it to cakes or grains before i tried it in bulk.
i would bet on almost certain failure if you added
sugars to bulk. to large a vector for my comfort.

Did that tek you found have any pics of the yields / flushes? It sounds like a good idea, but as others have said, adding sugars or other ingredients seems like it would be more vulnerable to contamination. I'd like to see that tek, though.
