I have a couple LCs but I use them differ than most. I use the LCs when I go on local hunts on private fields with permission of course, I'll take a spare syringe with me also to spray out the LCs in various places I call it "dusting" then when I go back a month later there is some newer growth I cant say its from me but I think im doing something to replace all the ones taken in past years of pickinh, feelin like Johnny Appleseed..... Any thoughts on this?

Why all the hating? :') I don't have agar(getting it ASAP) it's not like LC doesn't work and isn't effective for inoculation.. I made 3 separate LC's with three different myc samples from the same mushroom.. If they all go to shit and harbour nothing but contaminants then yeah I'll just play it safer in future... I'm just doing what I can with the stuff I have..
not hating just want you to have the best chance for success, LC in my book is becoming outdated. if you have a pc you can make agar out of house hold items

 lc was a fad for cubes a few years ago but really is not needed for them at all, i can't think of a single reason for any one who has taken there own prints to use one and i will argue any reason given to me lol, and this is coming from someone who uses them on a regular basis

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

LC works ok and agar is GREAT, agar is the way to grow, store, clean, isolate, clone and spread your mycelium. You never have to worry of a surpised half thru your grow or worse right before harvest. Like I said earlier I found that LC works for me when I use it outside in pre-existing fields with horse and cow even goats in them. THIS IS MY ONLY REASON FOR LC.. Agar would be hard to spreadout and transport around with you outside as easy as a jar full of LC and a syringe spraying out allover ares in the wild. Like Johnny Appleseed of fungi this is a way overstatement of course I have only "dusted" fields that the owner appoves me to be on. Living in S.East makes it alot easier to do more outside things with cubes and others. Does this make anysense to those who are nonLC users. Dont get me wrong agar is the best way handsdown for your mycelium. But does anyone see my point? Am I wasting time?

dunno what u mean...u mean that u try to noc up fields of manure so that at a later date u can come back and harvest? i have been bored and experimenting with lc's. i only make them with an agar wedge in an SAB, and i only stick the needle in the jar once, then toss it. I'm still scared every time i do it. just got x tra time, jars and grains on my hands, so why not?
reading GGMM over x mas made me re think lc's i guess. that and when u order edibles from vendors, they send an lc (most of the time, tho u can pick) i realize they are working in lab conditions, making lc's a lot less risky, but still if u have the determination and understanding, and surplus of time, grains, jars, etc, why not?
i would never noc up an lc with anything except agar tho, thats for sure, esp fruit tissue. for the record, i don't endorse lc's over agar at all, just bored, playing around here, sharing what i do as i progress in this hobby.

Yes I take the LC out in to the fields after it is full of mycelium and spray areas that have somewhat dry poo. I use it all up in one day but maybe spray 5-6 spots, then check back in 2-4 weeks. Had sosome success and to me its possible to take a poo-patty home and try it in the yard, I haven't yet done this part yet. It seems we think alike, to me this is a hobby that offers many ways to get to your fruits and trying experiments like these keep it interesting for me. But This is the only reason I start up the PC to make my LC and watching the mycelium grow inside is always cool, I never bought a mag stirplate. I use agar for all my other mycelium home projects.

y not just try to spawn spent substrate (old cakes, old mono's etc) to those fields instead of just the lc?

Old cakes get tossed in hole in back of house but, I could now that you say it, there is just so many ways to spread the fungi and the.LC works for me when im educating friemds about mycelium growth as well as dusting thier properties without costing me, except for the ingredients which I already have except baby bottles. Gonna try the spreading old substrate of PE on rye to CV. I would love to get a pic of PE in the wild, huh,huh right, righr , right.......... Thanks for input now for the output, see ya SO MANY WAYS TO GET YOUR FRUITS.OF LOVE.....

I just realised I never posted any harvest pictures ;
 Just over 200g from the first flush, and it contaminated on the second :/ It was from a pes amazonian MS syringe, and considering it was about a liter of rye grain cased with straight vermiculite I'm berry happy with the results  Very heavy and potent fruits 
Edit- there's also some sneaky koh samui strain thai at the bottom of the last picture :')
