Where do cultures start?
    #23484479 - 07/28/16 03:57 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hi

So been reading a bunch, I have some spare tek to play with and want to expand my know how just messing around. I have got some proper oyster cultures from a vendor that Im having fun with.

I would like to try have some fun with normal store types just for the learning experiance.
A lot of what Ive read says these types even if cloned suck due to being streatched out so far and you wont win on a spore swab of these either. Nvm being cheaper to buy.

Can anyone inlighten me as to how these store cultures originate, and is it possible to create a fresh culture?

If these guys are farming these things how do they get fresh cultures?

As far as I know they are made by companies who specialize in making commercial cultures.

I'm not sure if there is much method to it beyond starting with spores and growing out tons of different cultures till they find a keeper.

Cultures are sold in various forms from masters on agar to expanded grain spawn ready to use

By the time they fruit them no matter what, the spawn will of been expanded multiple times. If you clone one of those commercial mushrooms and then go through your own series of G2G transfers the culture may start to get a bit old.

You can get a fresh culture by buying from a culture bank instead of cloning a store bought mushroom or start your own from spores, though that is unlikely to match the abilities of a professional culture.

Make ~10 isolates from spore then put them into production and track yields.

Commercial cultures are often made via isolation in labs that specialize in such things. They run huge amounts to find really killer genetics, and as such often have great cultures that are kept around for decades.
