first time reishi
    #22039841 - 08/03/15 09:06 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I'm getting a syringe from Sporeworks shortly. I will use it to inoculate quart jars of sterilized grain--I have some rye berries that I can use--but would WBS be better?

I don't know if I will do an invitro fruiting or try to inoculate bags of sterilized shredded hardwood. Probably I will try both.

Then if all goes well I will try to isolate some clean mycelium and make a new syringe and go again. Might even try to germinate some spores.

This my first attempt with this species. Does anybody know anything that I probably don't that might help me to keep my boat afloat?

Yes, I have been searching the site for days on this subject. But anyone speaking from personal experience would be nice to hear from.

I read spores are difficult to germinate

Apparently spores from the G.resinaceum clade are easier to germinate, probably due to a thinner spore wall, The sporeworks strain might or might not be in this clade.


I do think that you might be able to germinate other species by using more spores on a plate, the more spores the better the chance presumably. But I haven't anything like that yet.

Both rye and WBS work well for spawn.

Reishi seems to grow well on striaght WBS, I have not tried it on straight rye. The reishi in the jars in my signature are growing on nothing but WBS.

I'm pretty sure the reishi syringes from Sporeworks are liquid culture, not spores.

What kind of yields are you getting with straight WBS vs. spawning it?

I don't really care that much if I can or can't germinate spores. I can always clone a good specimen--no? I would certainly want to find some way to avoid sending more money to vendors than I have to to keep my reishi supply up.

I have already got 6 jars of rye grain sterilized, so tomorrow I shoot them with the sporeworks myc.

All you really have to do is put a drop of the liquid culture from the syringe on agar, a few plates and now you have the strain that you can expand whenever you want. No need to wait for a fruit body to clone.

resinaceium germinates quickly on agar. and does fine on straight rye, lucidium I have not tried to germinate spores at all but it does well on straight rye. Yields are very condition and strain dependent.
