Getting & making Panaeolus Tropicalis liquid tissue syringes

Does injecting water into an agar jar of Panaeolus Tropicalis mycelium then sucking up the water and myc seem like a decent idea to get a liquid tissue syringe to start a grain jar or malt/dex LC with? I'd prefer to put the tissue from the agar into a grain jar to make more tissue syringes from, and would rather stay away from LC due to the sugars in the tissue water - maybe helping prevent bacterial contams in grain spawn/bulk sub bags. The main reason i ask if the water in the agar jar seems like a decent idea is because i read shaking panaeolus mycelium spawn jars too much can stall them to where the myc won't recover, and this seems possibly similar to shaking a spawn jar with moving the myc from agar, to grain, to tissue syringes then to spawn jars/bulk sub bags. I'm sure i could always move a tissue sample from agar directly into grain or LC with a scalpel but this seems easier and safer on sterility for now. Thanks

No need to be afraid of LC, if you've got a PC it's fairly simple! I assume since you are working with grain, you do have a PC? I would make up an LC (I use 1/8 cup dextrose, 1 tsp malt extract (light) to 1 quart of water, pressure cooked for ~20 min. That is plenty long enough to get an LC sterile. Then just get scalpel, flame sterilize the blade, and cut out a square of colonized agar medium, and quickly tranfer it to the LC (now cooled to room temp). I would say do for the LC, easy to make your print/syringe last forever with an LC. Your method described above you work, but might be more difficult to do in a sterile manner than an LC. BTW, saw you posted this a month ago, do you now have prints? If you have Pan. tropicalis prints produced from print/syringe from a reputable vendor (so it isn't too questionable whether it is actually Pan. tropicalis), I would be very interested in getting a print. me!
