Interesting.  In the time lapse videos and photographs of mycelium growing I note that the width (presumably radius) of the 'strands' increases as the mycelium grows, especially those portions in between the 'leading edge' of new growth and the rest of the organism.


Is this still just one cell in width, simply increasing in volume?


Regarding mycelial mass that is visible to the naked eye, are these strands that are visible one cell wide as well, or are each of the strands a more complex 'weaving' or 'entanglement' of single cell strands?


Pardon my relative lack of knowledge.  If this is too basic to be on topic here, feel free to delete the post or whatever

The latter.  Each strand of mycelium is only one cell in thickness, but they form 'ropes' with thousands of individual strands grouped up together.  However, if they encounter an obstacle, they can and will separate back into individuals if necessary to penetrate and digest the barrier.  The picture above is one strand of mycelium from just such a rhizomorphic weave.  At this magnification of 1000X, you can see the individual cells, cell walls and nuclei, but what is amazing to me is the huge space between it and it's neighbors.

That's not enough




Yes, I know it's not enough. That's why I used 2 jars per culture X 4 cultures = 8 jars for one basket.

I'm doing my first G2G transfers tomorrow. I'm using as grain masters jars that were just used for making GLC. After the jars were drained of mycelium water, they grew out fully in about 3 days! I couldn't believe it.

Terry (or anyone), I have a question regarding this tek.  I have watched the videos a few times and my question is what are the steps between and after the soap bath and the pasteurize soak.

Do I just drain the straw and then add it to the hot water to pasteurize?  Do I need to squeeze out excess soapy water first?

After the pasteurize soak do I need to squeeze out excess water before layering.  The straw in the video looks pretty dry when RR is layering it.

I know it seems pretty simple.  I have straw soaking in the soapy water now.

Thank you.

I didn't squeeze out excess soapy water. But I did drain the hot water from the pasteurized straw. I started layering the straw after it was cool. The moisture in the straw basket looks just fine.

Thank you. Some times I post stupid questions. (I try not to)  It was pretty straight forward once I started.  Took longer than I thought to get enough water to temps.  I'm good to go now. 

edit: (added info below)



Looking at RR video again, his straw was much dryer than what I was working with.  I am a bit concerned that the straw is on the wet side.  I'll see what happens.

One more thought I'm sure has been covered, is all the dark water that I dumped after the first wash/soak.  It seems that alot of nutrients were leached out?  Would it be better to just hydrate, without rinsing it out?  Maybe it's taking bad stuff out?  any thoughts?

edit, update 6/3/11 - so far so good:biggrin:


Thanks again.
