Anyone here have any caffeine powder or tablets you can crush, It should replace sugars.
Caffeine is energy attached to nitrates, and should not be bacteria prone.

In theory it should be restricted to live mycelium only.

No idea on ratio, but I think its unlimited.

That's a novel idea.  I don't know if the mycelium could process that as easily as simple sugars. 

Why don't you try it and let us know?  Pure caffeine powder is readily available.  If you're unable to acquire some I can send you some. :smile:

Here is a snippet from: Paul Stamets - How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World (figure 332).
It specifically says that mycelium break down caffeine. I will look around on eBay.

I have been wanting to do a test for a while with coffee. I like to make LI with sterile water, a blender attachment and agar dishes. I was thinking about doing a test where instead of sterilizing water to blend the agar I would sterilize fresh brewed coffee and blend the agar with that and then pour into my grain bags.

It's slow as shit on that. I made energy drink wine that had no preservatives in it. Took three months to ferment. Try lc of cubes with the same stuff it contaminate blue mold. Most pills have additives that prevent fungus spreading. Try it your way. Im interested

That's an interesting idea. Caffeine powder is so cheap.. I may give this a go..

How much would you think you would start with? I wonder if it would make a difference if you hydrate your grains with it

Not enough micro & macro nutrients in energy drink, It's also high in sugar and only 32mg caffeine.
Capsules are free from: Artificial flavours, colours & preservatives, lactose, yeast & gluten.


Yesterday I did some looking around, most capsules are 200 - 400mg.
Which means I would need 8 capsules for 3g to 100g water.

Next issue, I would need to add: P, K, Mg, Zn.

I wonder if boiling some sliced carrots will extract enough to use as base.
Then I could add the caffeine and make a basic LC from that mix.

When cooking any vegetables you extract nutrients.

I made some carrot water and added yeast nutrients to boot. I think its enough to be a LC alone.
So I will put some dirty spawn into it later and see what happens after a few days.

The mixture is typically carrot, honey looking, but slightly misty.

I did 20g of diced carrot to 60g of nutrient water.

   

1.25g of nutrients to 1000g water.

Well it works, Yeast nutrients, something to add to your mushroom toolbox.
Mycelium growing out in 24 hours, including debris from swirling.

Carrots + YN, enough energy and nutrients to grow.

There is also lots of surface growth, and a clear ring.

   

No signs of bacteria so far.

The mock test has given me results, some bacteria or yeast which is expected (dirty spawn).
Lots of quick growing surface growth, which I thought was scum until I swirled it.

The surface growth snapped in two when I tilted the jar.

   

Bubbles due to bacteria or yeast.

I've decided to continue testing Yeast Nutrients in various scenarios.
I have changed the name of the original thread, From LC tests.

Feel free post your experiments here, better sharing.

Here is something interesting, I have a cheap vendor bag of Pink oyster, rife with crap.
I went to throw it out, but then decided to put it in the fridge at 2°C, regardless.

Two months later, it's still alive and active, but very slow.
There is also metabolites for obvious reasons.

Further thought, the carrot + YN LC was roughly 0.5% sugar and starch, 0.5% misc energy.
Mycelium need C-H-O to produce Glycogen, Water is H2O so I need carbon only.

Yeast nutrients: magnesium-carbonate. Lime: calcium-carbonate.

The mycelium should reassemble said materials.

The yeast nutrients and lime mix makes sediment and tints blue.
I have a "possible" reaction in less than 40 minutes.

I don't the time nor resources to test every application. However you should be able to add it to current recipe's.
Such as an additive to agar or liquid cultures, or adding it to water for substrates, casing or misting.

If you find uses for it please post them here to share, thanks.

Here is the lime and yeast nutrients water after a swirl.

I was just looking at Summer oyster on Shroomery. Right at the bottom confirms addition of nutrients.

"Okwujiako found that the vitamin thiamine was critical for growth and fruit body development in P. pulmonarius.
By simply adding yeast extract to the medium, vitamins essential for enhanced production are provided."

Yeast nutrients also supplies sulfur, which increases protein production, and promotes larger caps.

Much better than Marmite  :cool:

Nice! Maybe there should be yeast strain experimentation, to see wich helps the most!

I have decided to revive my old WL-Tek as a substrate casing mix.
It produces intense coloured fruits, and much larger caps.

Here is something interesting, I have a cheap vendor bag of Pink oyster, rife with crap.
I went to throw it out, but then decided to put it in the fridge at 2°C, regardless.

Two months later, it's still alive and active, but very slow.
There is also metabolites for obvious reasons.





Pink oyster, alive after 2 months at 2°C, really?  Are you sure? 
That species usually dies if refrigerated.  If not, it's a good strain you have there, I'd try to clean it up and save it!  And while you're at it, send me a copy :wink:

The slime and smell made me throw it out about a week ago. Never got around to cleaning it.
I got the infected spawn from a vendor, So I can get more another time.

Yeah, I almost guarantee you that slime and smell was because the culture was dead and the contam's had taken over.  Like you said, it was probably already contaminated to begin with, but just so you know, do some research before refrigerating your next pink oyster culture, it may not be the best idea.

I already knew that it was meant to die below 10°C, and yes it was already infected. It had stalled before the fridge.
However I will let you off because no doubt you have not been following my tests and experiments.

I was testing an agar cleanup method with several dirty cultures.

Managed to salvage it from the outdoor bin, I added another outer bag before I brought it in.
Outdoor temps also drop below 10°C, I have taken images, It may still be salvageable.

Off topic, but to clarify, yeah blue oyster is a TOTALLY different, non-tropical culture. 

With blues, you can take a substrate with partially grown mushrooms, throw it outside in the winter and let the fruits freeze, bring it back inside, and they will continue to grow.  Blues are the MOST cold hardy of all the oysters that I know of.

Isn't there two types of blue? Cold blue and Warm blue.

I guess, if someone says there is :wink:

The strain I use fruits anywhere from just above freezing to 90F, so I guess it's kind of a cold AND warm blue.  Better quality fruits below 70 though.  But some of the biggest mushrooms I've gotten when I toss the buckets outside in the mid-summer heat.

I've managed to fruit Golden oyster at 8°C, outdoors, so that sounds right to me.
I have also had Summer oyster push some pins at 10°C, outdoors.
