thatz quite hard cause most commercial strains were selected to be low in spores ore even sporeless...why not make a tissue-culture from a commercial shroom?BiO

The optimum time window between store bought mushrooms would be up to 2 days after picking for getting the best tissue cultures. Not that this is not to say that it cannot be done later with more resilent/tenacious mushrooms.Interior of stem near the cap/viel area and interiror of the stem near the base are prefered tissue sections to implant into agar.

What species of mushroom are you looking to cultivate? If you are thinking of growing agaricus brunescens, why bother? They are cheap enough unless you are looking to just expand your knowledge of mycoculture. If that is the case then, yes you can get shrooms from store bought but you would be better off doing cultures then spore prints------------------ Be sure to check out www.3mshrooms.homestead.com for your spore needs

Yeah hopefully you guys aren't going to grow button mushrooms unless you just want to add to your skills and market yourself to the industry .....I'd figure it would be sometimes good to get shiitake, enoki, and oysters, maybe pom poms etc as you would capture (although further down the cell division line) a commercial strain with properties that may help you grow without paying for spawn.

why not growing button mushrooms....it is as simple as growing cubies, and if you grow them on a natural substrate without boosters they taste much better than the supermarket-ones...BiO.

Grow your own buttons, avoid the heavy pesticides used by commercial growers to control fungus gnats.Store bought mushrooms can yield prints and tissue cultures both, under optmal conditions. -G-

I am considering growing agaricus myself because of its similar growing peramiters to P-cubies and its ability to grow on cased rye. I plan to use a fresh mushroom from the store and clone it. I will post results as I get them.
