ended up doing this the other day. Felt like a couple jars didn't get anything, a couple jars definitely did. I would have went back to re-inoculate the ones I was concerned about but I want to see if it will just work anyway.

I also made one LC with a small 1cm square wedge.

I use metal lids rubber side down, I never have really hard a problem breaking that seal and putting wedges in jars.

Strange Bod, it hasn't failed me a single time yet, how long since inoculation?

Even I still feel the same every time I do it, best thing is forget about the jars and come see them 4 days later.

I think I would feel more comfortable with a blunt needle tip. But youre right I'm probably just trippin :lol:

If you use a wide needle or blunt needle, you're missing out on the magic man. It's also tougher to fuck up with a thin needle, and what about growing pounds of shrooms from a piece of literally microscopic tissue.
:magicfingers: 

Well shit, if those 31G needles for diabetes came with standard hubs for standard syringes I'd have ordered them by now.

This could be ground breaking..
It's genius.....

I just did a turkey tail and B+ (LC), With a 21g Needle...
Wow...! Perfect clean micro punch holes in the culture...

I now thinking this could be a way to do plate transfers also...

I have a method where I tap the top of the plunger on the syringe just to get a couple of drops into my plates, without flooding or over doing it..

This could be a perfect way to transfer cultures plate to plate....

Someone else has posted this method as I read about it last winter, that is unless you mentioned it and didn't do a tek until recently. I did it, but alas my culture was dirty and I was to knew to agar to catch that there was still bacteria hiding in the mycelium. I do feel like this would be a good way with a clean culture.

Yeah Mad, I had it sorta hidden in my journal, sloppily written.

Anyway, you can test a culture before using it. I posted a way at the end of the OP, take a look. Good luck man.

I think I will give this biopsy to LC method a try again once I am happy with a culture.

It is, you could get an isolate ridicously fast. A combination of using the poke and the scalpel is killer.

Two transfers with the needle followed by 2 transfers with the scalpel is the way to go about this imo, rinse and repeat.

The picture shows growth on agar from a biopsy sample.
As you can see, growth looks disorganized, like a streaked plate from spores would. Don't be discouraged by this, it's perfectly normal and fine.

A biopsy sample taken from a rhizomorphic culture will also show tomentose and disorganized growth, but the potential for rhizo growth is still there, nothing has been lost.
Such a tiny piece of tissue needs time to regroup and establish a strong network.
A couple of transfers from this plate using a scalpel will get things back to normal, the culture will show rhizos again and you will also notice a substantial change in appearance from having narrowed down the genetics considerably.
Again, I don't have pictures at the moment to back this up, but will do soon. My apologies.

once these knots/pins grow a but ill post some more pics.


lucy/aa+ pins never show up too well on my camera. just looks like white blurs:tongue:

id also like to note..

due to my shaky fucking hands, MOST if not all of my contams happen during inoculation.
either from a bad culture drop, or i bang something.. usually 1 jar out of 10 gets an
out break of green on the surface of the grains. but with pouring?? not a single jar
was visibly contaminated. although 1 jars recovery took 4days...:cool: meh. point is?

this method is awesome for anyone who has a hard time with being clean(inoculation wise). cause im sloppy as fuck sometimes.

:creepylurker:

That's alright man, 4 days recovery is pretty normal, usually it takes 3 for me. After 24-48 hours you can maybe observe some growth on the surface of the jar from pieces of myc that landed on the surface. But the real recovery starts when the liquid at the bottom of the jar is slowly taken up by myc, when the bottom is colonized (4 days from inoculation, give or take), I like to give the jar the first shake. :thumbup:


Edit: I think you were referring to recovery as a test right? Like when you shake the jar at 90% colonization or whatever...
Jeez I need to pay more attention when I read.

What kind of myc density are we looking for to use an LC as an inoculant ?

Presume it scales on the amount of grain used.  Mycobag, quart, pint.

Thxx

Day 6 of two LCs PE and Pan Cyan

Pan has really taken off. Started with a dime sized transfer.

PE was a T3 half tiger drop which has gone pretty crazy in the past couple days.

I see some recovery in most jars. I made a pretty sediment heavy LC this time tho. Pressure cook beer wort for 15m and it will be full of precipitated crud.
