HELP!!! Frozen LC
    #18811848 - 09/07/13 02:44 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I just accidentally froze about 240cc of some very strong oyster myc. not block solid, but still icey. can I save it? I know fridges slow it, but does freezing kill it?

I have had different experiences with different oysters when it comes to freezing (in my case in petri's not LC) the blue, pearl, grey, elm and phoenix all had no problems in being frozen but the pink oysters got killed outright. I know it is a little different in an LC compared to petri's but i would expect many oyster's to survive. Only one way to find out though so knock up some jars and see what happens.

Okay, that makes me feel better. Pearl oyster.. I'm protecting my pinks, so thank you for that info. Do you recommend trying to grow them? Risk of contam?

I would try growing them out, i don't see much risk of contams just due to freezing. Are you growing on grain and then moving it into a fruiting substrate? If so i would just knock up a jar or two of grain and see what happens, Pearls are pretty strong growers so you will know whats up in a few days. Personally not a huge fan of LC's due to the risk of contams but many use them with good success. Hope it works out for you

Will do. I just started with rye berries, grain is my next step. But what do you mean by fruiting substrate? I was under the impression the substrate was just food, and the change in environmental conditions caused the fruiting...
