I'm not even going to start on about the 24"+ that I am cursing right fucking now. Plus its cold as fuck, got down to -20f last week. Fucking bullshit. Barely can keep my grow area above 69F, everything is going slow as fuck.

It could be worse. A few years back it got down to -53.5F. I was tempted to build an incubator at that point :tongue:

A few small adaptations to this recipe:

I would rather use potato powder (potato starch) than fresh potatoes.
I rather use marmite (= yeast&vegetable extract) than just yeast
I do not pour the liquid in petris but transfer it from the bottle to the petris with a large (20ml) syringe.

4.0 grams potato starch
20.0 grams dextrose
15.0 grams agar
2 grams of Marmite

I have dissolved one small jar of Marmite in 250ml water. Filled a bottle with it and sterilized that one. Now add 4-5ml of this in 1 liter of PDA or other agar medium.

I use a syringe for liquid agar transfer because pouring agar often causes spills, and then those become a vector for contamination.

About the (G)LC versus agar discussion: I think it is a bit more complicated since it mattters if you are inoculating a master or an end substrate. I am on the side of RR and others in that a 2 dimensional (agar) surface -which is itself inoculated by a pinch of spores, or a wedge of agar or a kernel of spawn- is the most secure way to avoid contaminations. But it is perfectly fine to use an agar plate to make a liquid inoculant for immediate use.

I hesitate to recommend a liquid inoculant to be used on any substrate which needs to be shaken. After the shake there is no way to find out the origin of a contamination. Liquid inoculants are fine for a BRF/verm (PF) substrate but injecting it in bags or jars of whole grain or rye grass substrates adds some risk. Which is managable as long as those bags or jars are not to be used as grain masters (to inoculate more grain jars).

IMHO future Grain Masters need to be inoculated by agar wedge. I think that is the central dogma.

Liquid inoculants are fine for end substrates such as PF jars and grains which are to be cased and fruited. Be it that liquid inoculants are risky for substrates which are to be shaken.

To make it even more complicated, in my observation LCs can have a better shelf life than spore prints. At least up to 10 years at room temp. But these long term storage LCs are not easy to prepare. They need to be stored in a special way. And need to be tested a month or so after they are made and then once a year. Invisible contamination is a huge risk with any stored LC.

I do not know if it is a real campaign. But it is a nice banner :smile: I wonder  in which thread it first appeared and why exactly. But I am following the  (sometimes heated) discussions about LC closely. They are interesting!

But the discussions are often not detailed enough. There is a difference between LC and LI (liquid inoculant). An LI can be drawn from an LC or freshly made from a colonized solid substrate. The latter is often a good idea.

All over the internet LC's are promoted as a good tek to stretch a syringe. And -IMHO- that is often not a good idea because of the danger for hidden contaminants. for that reason I think it is a good idea to get a warning out. The 'campaign' is a good idea. If you want a real safe way to stretch a syringe, then inoculate a BRF/verm jar, use a small block of it to put on an agar plate, wait until that is colonized and make a LI from that.

But subculturing agar plates over and over again is also a fast route to degeneration. You need something for long term storage, and spores are not always an option. Blocks of colonized agar in sterile water is the best known alternative but it is not super convenient (a SAB or other sterile environment is required to handle those). So if you really know what you are doing and know how to handle the risks then LCs can indeed be a viable option to save a culture for a decade or more at roomtemperature.

For me - I try to avoid LCs. But I use LIs quite often. And sometimes I depend on LCs for long time storage. When I look at it that way the 'campaign' goes too far. But perhaps I am taking it all to serious.

So wait, LC can't be drawn from an LC or freshly made from a colonized solid substrate?

Why would one be better than the other?

Get this:

to prepare a LC, you whip up some water and nutrients add spores/mycelium and...TA-DA! LC.

L.I. is a new term for me, but I imagine it's like a "grain"-LC. where you take your clean, fully colonized grain jar, add sterile water, shake withdraw the liquid (that now has little bits of mycelium floating in it) and...TA-DA! a liquid inoculation.

The benefit there being, that there's not an excess of nutrients for contamination to run rampant on..

just my 2cents though :shrug:

If there is enough nutrients for the LC to grow afterwards, there is enough for contams.

I've actually dreamed up a few contraptions/techniques for filtering out and "washing" the mycelial growth of a LC, washing away excess nutrients and whatever the word for "fungus-poop" is; leaving a sterile mycellium suspension...it's called the "Fuck that!"-tek :smirk:
