So ive made my second transfer and if this grow nicely on its new home of DF8:A10 I will use 1 plate to add to my grain jars im hoping to fruit. The other I will transfer back to 10:10 with a little coffee and make a few stone making jars.
A few things on my mind. If like other grows I let an MS grow out and pick the favourite mushroom and clone, what are the hard and fast rules on stone producers for this. Is it better to clone the mushroom for the better mushroom flushes and the stones for the stone producers? I suppose its all in the genetics and this kinda makes sense.

While doing all my agar work today my Pan Sandose plate was very fluffy. I took some wedges from this plate and placed on 8:10 media. Can somebody explain why is grew like this. Its was on PADY 10g agar, 10g potato starch, 7g dextrose, 1g yeast
Not the greatest picture but you can see the fluff

if you're cloning for a fruiting strain or a stone strain depends. if you want a fruiting strain of a stone producer clone from a grow. if you want a stone producing just clone a stone that forms on agar.
sometimes it just goes fluffy who cares

Never heard of this before. Great advice. So just take a plate, forget about it and hope it produces a stone before a pin........Rocking stuff!

So interestingly if you made a big enough agar plate you could grow stones str8 from that. Could be a fun experiment.

Follow the strain isolation technique on Let's Grow Mushrooms, and then select sectors early which are brown in color. By the second or third transfer, you'll see stones developing, and this is only about 1 month after the original swipe of spores on agar.
Now, take each stone and move it to a new dish. Soon, the mycelium will grow out and you'll see fresh stones developing, and if they're good strains, the sclerotia is forming long before the mycelium reaches the edge of the plate. Pick strains which form four or five stones within two weeks and use these for your grain masters. RR

I have a sweet tidy little culture from the original tranfers. I think I may turn it into a LC. I havent made one for years and think it might work well for this.

Just been to the shop to get some more they are 69 pence for a set of 3 which equates to 84 Cents.
These cost $1.82 each!

Transglobal charge $37 dollars for a 6 kilo parcel.
An option if you ever needed hundreds

Actually ive done another calculation. To send a Kilo costs $10.54 and you get 30 rounds to a kilo. So for 30 it would cost you $25.20 so altogether it would be $35.74.
I Dont mind sending if thats cost effective for you?

LC recipes should be like agar recipes, without the agar. Stop bumping so much. You can edit posts.

Yeah sorry about that got a bit excited to find a cheap rate for T. With the LC I was wondering if there was anything specific that would help. i.e. they like cofffee and gypsum so I was thinking of making a 2% mix of Maple syrup, coffee and gypsum.

I would try LME or potato first. I'd not use coffee or gypsum for an LC, personally.
