Growing some mushrooms. need some help!!!
    #18888213 - 09/25/13 08:16 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hello everyone

I live in the UK and I have an amateur knowledge and skill-set in mycology. (Self taught FYI).

I have a client that can supply me with morel mushroom spawn (mycelium and not spores). However because spawn has to be moist - to prevent the mycelium perishing from a dry environment - it is prone to bacterial infection.

No matter how well I autoclave and sterilise my agar solution, equipment and petri dishes. I get a bacterial infection which begins always at the location of the spawn on my petri dish (as the source).

I have an idea but I dont know if it is a good idea. But here goes ....

I know that certain antiseptics/antibiotics such as penicillin are derived from fungus/mould. I am wondering if I could treat the spawn samples with a fungus derived antiseptic - killing the bacteria but not the mycelium - , is it possible to subvert bacteria growth and let the morel mycelium flourish? I look forward to feedback I receive from you


Thanks

P.S (I know morels are very hard to grow. Buts that's the beauty of the challenge!)
