LC question

Well I'm doing my second lc jar, the ingredients I use were: 600ml of bottled water, 18ml of karo corn syrup, a drop of honey and a tooth pick that I snapped in half. Now one thing that's freaking me out is if PC'ing it for 20min at 15 psi would be enough to sterilize that tooth pick before I inoculate it with blue oyster agar wedge

With all that water/solution ???
I'd think so; it shouldn't take very long to get to the right temp. esp if it is soaked.
If it were more than a toothpick maybe.
Out of curiosity, why do that? To break apart the mycelium?

I've heard it's supposed to increase the life span of LC but it's my first time trying, my last jar was Wellington oysters in water and karo only, growth looks slow but it's progressing
and to be sure I left the heat on my stove to the highest setting for about 5-7mins/20

I've been doing a few with a syrup called alaga it works great, however it contains potassium sorbate which is supposed to kill mold and fungus so I'm surprised my mycelia is growing so vigorously. Here is a good read for lc's http://www.shroomery.org/9145/Liquid-Culture-Basics

Something I am going to try out next from a tek I read here is to take a fully colonized jar, inject 180ml of sterile water in it, agitate it a bit and suck out about 150ml of the myc grain water. That should last ya a long while in the fridge and will be my master jar.

yea thats li. i talked to mr fox about that recently.

fantastic mr. fox siad: LI is superior to LC for numerous reasons.. 1. Theres more mycelial mass in LI 2. The myceluim in LI has already networked itself to consume grains. (LC takes longer because the mycelia from LC isnt networked for grains so it takes a few days)

I'm not to concerned about the time, I'm more interested in just making a little money on the side with a couple edible lc's and as long as it's clean I'm happy
