Collecting spores from wild mushrooms
    #18817066 - 09/08/13 10:29 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

has anyone had success collecting spores from the wild and germinating them without contam? I'm wondering if my prints are clean enough. any tips on the subject are appreciated :cool:

also the mushrooms im trying to print have long been "unvieled"

You should make a clone. You can totally make a culture from a wild
print but making a clone, in my opinion, is easier.

I have not tried. Search for PF tek on here or use your Google substitute. I If you take your print on foil I hear it's easier to transfer spores to your dish. I then believe you have to chase your contaminate out. you do this by cutting out pieces of your culture that are not contaminated and re-culturing them in a new sterile dish. You then keep doing this until you come to a culture that is clean.

In my experience cloning wild collected mushrooms is more difficult than making spore prints and starting cultures from them, more often than not you will get bacterial contamination with tissue culture.

The best method I have found is to take a small piece of fresh gill fragment using sterile tweezers and swipe it on an agar plate, do the same with at least three or four dishes, it will be essential to do a few transfers to isolate a pure culture, I have been able to start good cultures with all species I have tried this with.

I would only attempt tissue culture if the fungus in question is sterile or almost sterile.

I must have had some bad luck. I have had a hard time with spore prints compared
to clones. I have had great luck with tearing a mushroom open and pulling
tissue from inside and getting a clean culture.

I would trust what inski says. He has a lot more cultivation work under belt
than I do.

I have made prints on tin foil and wax paper and then transfered the spores to agar. From there you grow out the colony and transfer healthy, clean, fast growin mycelium to another dish.

I've tried cloning wild oyster mushrooms and had pretty bad luck. I tore the stipe in half and took some tissue from the inner stipe and put it on agar.... Yeah it was a green nasty mess within a week or so.

What kind of mushroom are you trying to culture?

I have found that with woodlovers, using a modified pf tek with aspen snake bedding works well.  Unless the prints were taken in a moldy basement with no oversight as to any clean technique (even then only about 20% contamed).

Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata

As long as the specimen is fresh and relatively clean, I've had good luck cloning as well as taking prints, it's really only when the specimen is old, manky, half rotten and bug eaten that you get problems, and at that point both a spore print as well as a clone are going to be problematic.  :lol:

Just sterilize the jar with alcohol, in the box, flame sterilize the scalpel outside of the box, cut a small square of mycelium from the leading edge, pick it up with the scalpel and pop it off into the jar real quick with minimal time open.

Agreed.

Been having bacterial problems with my flowhood recently. But more recently I
fixed it! Woot. Been having a great time doing plate work.

speaking of, I have a bunch of pink oyster that I don't mind sharing.
