Dry mushroom to agar attempt
    #23832177 - 11/14/16 01:02 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hello!  This is my first time using agar.  I have some cubensis lying around so I decided to try to clone the dry tissue.  Made the agar extra wet for this experiment.  I'm not expecting much, but maybe after a few weeks mycelium will start to grow. 

I also am attempting to clone some Psycolobe allenii on agar.  We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, here are some pictures.  I'll keep this thread updated on wether or not either of these worked.

Shoulda went with gill tissue but we'll see what happens, welcome to the shroomery dude.

Thanks, this place is awesome! 

I have a couple other plates with gill tissue.  Wanted to test out each part of the mushroom just to see which performs best.  Used stem, gill and inside the caps on different agar plates.

As long as they were dried gently it should be fine...good luck.

Good luck with the bacteria tho. I doubt it was fruited and dried sterile.

Probably going to be a bacteria bonanza but there's a chance it will work.  The cubensis have been sitting in a ziploc for 8 months.  The allenii were freshly picked.  Those suckers turned dark blue on agar after 24 hours.  Some serious psilocin.

Does the blueness indicate alkaloid content?

Stamets writes: "Apparently, the bluing pigmentation is a result of a phenomenon paralleling the degradation of unstable psilocin (dephosphorylated psilocybin) to presently unknown compounts by enzymes within the mushroom cells."

I blended up a few mature allenii to make a slurry and it was royal blue.  Pretty crazy.  I'm not 100% convinced bluing has to do with potency, but it's possible it is an indicator.

Interesting.
I mean I obviously have observed the "blue" but never correlated it to alkaloid content.
Far out!

Bacteria bonanza is in full effect.  The cubensis are surrounded by bacteria but the cloned allenii are off to an awesome start.

Notes for next time:
1. Don't make the agar super fucking wet.  Hydrate the tissue beforehand instead of dealing with a soupy mess.

2. Dip the dried tissue in h2o2.  The benefit of preventing bacteria far outweighs the damage done to the mycelium from h2o2.

3.  Try using the gill instead of the stem.

An alternative to dipping in peroxide might be a 1:10 bleach solution. It doesn't stunt the mycelium as badly, but will give you a leg up on bacteria and mold spores.

No. Blueing is just an indicator that you might have a psychedelic mushroom in your hands. There are edible bolete mushrooms that bruise blue and have zero psychedelic compounds. There are also people on here that have grown PE that didn't blue much at all yet would melt your face off. I believe it was pasty that said the bunkest shrooms he ever grew was PE. I bet his bruised blue.

So the dry cubensis and dry allenii are completely covered in bacteria.  I threw those out.

The fresh allenii are ok for the moment.  Some pieces have bacteria surrounding them.  Can I get some advice on how/when to transfer these to new agar plates?  For most of the pieces the mycelium seems to be airborne, and the mycelium touching the agar plate is not taking off as well.  From the looks of it, the chunks in contact with the agar are slightly contaminated with bacteria.  Should I try to scrape the "airborne" mycelium onto new plates to clean it up?  Any input helps.





Hard to tell from this photo but you can kind of make out that the chunk in contact with agar has bacteria.



Here is the plate upside down:

Shoulda went with gill tissue but we'll see what happens, welcome to the shroomery dude.



I just saw this thread. I have successfully grown from dried azurescens fruits. I picked the fruits in the wild from the washington coast. Dehydrated without taking prints. I was a noob and didn't think they would grow outside of the natural environment. 

I realized I could grow them in the puget sound area.  So I decided to try and get soores from the gills of the dehydrated fruits that were about 6 months old. I put the fruit,  a pair of tweezers and a petri dish in the sab. I flame sterilized the tweezers and pluck a small piece of the gill tissue. Then placed it on the dish. It grew first try and after a few transfers was clean. This process resulted in the azzies in my avatar. They are still going and I just add new chips in the winter. I tried getting a culture from colonized woodchips on agar that was a fail every time.
