@mushboy

I've started doing some work with dry spores, I'll post my experiment soon.
At a guess, id say its the way solubles travel in water.

I guess a hydrated spores have better travel.
Cant be soluble without water.

----

It also possible the absorbed fluids contain trace nutrients.
That may be enough to produce a "seed" spore.

Inner tissue at base of stipe. Wipe with iso and rip open, don't cut into it or you'll force contams into the shroom and onto your blade. I made that mistake and I'm still cleaning it up...I might have to make some tea agar to help it along

You wipe the mushroom down with ISO? Seems unnecessary if your taking an inner tissue sample

@ mushboy- Instead of squirting sterile water over the dry spores, just make your agar media with a little less agar.
Makes it a little watery so that the spores have an easier time germinating if they are from an old print or something.

I have never worked with hydrated spores until last night. I wasn’t sure how to get the spores in the water so I took a sterile syringe, attached a needle, flamed it, sucked up some sterile water and squirted the water on a portion of the print and let it run off into an ISO sanitized glass bowl that I flamed with the torch before placing in the SAB. Then I sucked the water back into the syringe.

It was on a whim I decided to create my own spore syringe, came out to like 14cc I split across 7 qts

Yeah Ferather- I noticed that bit.

with the first few data dumps I looked at

I use gypsum because it seemed to be the thing to do.

I don't see any disadvantages over using it or not,

and it is not expensive around here.

Lots of home brewing

Places around

Can anyone recommend an agar recipe that will encourage fast growth?
I tried 10 grams: 10 grams: drop of karo per 500 ml. Very slow growth.


I have agar powder, potato flakes and karo.

LME is my go to as well. Comes out clear with no need to filter. I use 5g malt to 10g agar to 450ml water. Most cultures consume a plate in 10-14 days

What I did with my last go around of dry spores was I took a bunch of Q tips, moistened them, then put in a jar and sterilized them. Then in the lab used the moist swab to grab some spores and swiped the plate. It has worked rather well for the wood lovers I was having issues with.

cut back on the pda? i think nute heavy agar tends to keep growth kinda clustered up whereas lighter nutes make it 'reach' out.

or something.

Cool. If it's cheap and doing what you want, I cant say I see an issue.
Just don't use calcium carbonate (CaCO3), as mentioned.

Grain pH is pH 5.5-6.8. Coir is also pH 5.5-6.8.

pH 5.5 vs 6.8 could be interesting.
