CLONE WATER Experiment Updates ...
    #23916317 - 12/11/16 01:24 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Given that mushroom stems are generally fairly hollow, I had an idea in terms of cloning that would be an easy, one-step process.  I would take a sterile syringe with about 2-3 ML's of water and then cut the mushroom near the base with a red hot knife,  At the base, the stem is not hollow so through the solid, meaty bottom, the red hot needle goes up and into hollow part of the stem, always staying inside the stem ... I then inject the sterile water into the hollow stem, leaving the needle in there ... shake it a bit an then suck the water back into the needle, which never left the stem ... take the needle out, heat it quickly and then inject the water into a small jar of RGS. 

I tried the poke the stem with the needle and try to get a piece of it technique that never worked for me, but am wondering if anyone's done this?  Theoretically, it's sterile in the hollow part of the mushroom, right?  I'd think the water injected would pick up enough cells to get a small jar of RGS going which could then be slurried for liquid innoculant.  Could also, I guess do it to agar too.  Any thoughts?

i guess you could do that but it seems like too much trouble.
i have shaky hands. ill end up poking through the stem and
sticking myself.

you can use any piece of the mushroom. its recommenced to use the inside
of the stipe because you can get a cleaner piece of tissue.

I have pretty steady hands ... It's actually really easy if you pick a stout, straight mushroom.  The reason I want to try this is I can just use the water I sucked back to inoculate a small jar of grass seed and should hopefully avoid any step of cleaning on agar, etc. 

Anyway I'm trying, will report back results but was just curious if anyone else had tried this because hopefully, can get enough cells without even opening the mushroom up at all.

How would it pick up any contams?  The stem would never have even been exposed to open air.  The bottom of the stem (meaty part) would be cut with a red hot blade ... If needle and water is sterile, there is no way for contams to get in unless the inside of the stem is contaminated which seems very unlikely, right?

You could skip the knife and just heat the needle red hot then poke it, let it cool, then squirt the water.....im going to try this sometime thanks for the idea lol

In the end you are going to have a weak culture, that takes forever to recover, from a mature specimen, in a format not conducive to long term storage. Obvious contam vectors aside (how do you sterilize the outside of the fruit? Answer is you can't, best you can do is sanitize) this might seem appealing to someone with extremely limited experience but, it's going to lose its appeal when the results are in.

Also, what if the fruit isn't hollow?

The inside is not necessarily sterile..if you ever cloned an outdoor fruit you would know this

All good points.  I was thinking of using a fruit that's about half grown so its younger and it's easy to tell if it's hollow by just squeezing it a bit.  You may be right on the weak culture aspect, though ... hadn't thought of that.  I'll see how it compares to snagging pins from a cluster (how I do it now) and going to Agar.  Main thought was I could possibly skip 2-3 agar transfers ... Go straight to RGS like Violet's method.

Why try cut corners...we take from the base and the cap for good reason.

Wasn't really aware this is cutting corners.  I generally use pins to start new cultures and have had good success with it ... Growing them really clean invitro saves steps too ... never really tried cloning a mature fruit as it seemed like a PITA ...

You will see your success rate drop and clean a lot of mold.

How does mold enter the equation?  Is there mold inside a half grown fruit?  If I cut the stem with a red hot knife and use a red hot needle to enter into the stem, where does mold get a foothold?  Not trying to be difficult, I just honestly can't see how mold would get inside the needle.  I also live in the high desert where mold levels, I think are a lot lower.

For starters it wouldn't grow very fast if you went directly to rgs. You can get a enough myc on agar in a few days to accelerate your spawn by at least a week.  Plus pretty much guarantee it's clean.

It would grow faster than spores, wouldn't you think?  Maybe I'm wrong here.

Random cloning question but relevant to OPS post..is it a bad idea to clone a mature specimen just beginning to tear it's veil on the first flush or should only pins be used for cloning?

It would be faster to clone properly on agar..pins are great to clone but a more mature fruit will work fine as well
