Liquid culture syringe
    #26544073 - 03/19/20 07:43 AM (4 years, 11 days ago)

Hey guys so i got a few LC syringes of lions mane reishi and oyster. They have been sitting around for a couple weeks and now the lions mane and reishi are clogged. I guess the myc grew into the needle to much. I cant push anything out and even pulling the plunger out its like a vacum wants to suck back in. I thought about just pulling the pluger completely out and sucking what i can into a new syringe but i feel forcing the pluger to come out that vacuum will make it squirt all over the place as the plunger comes out. Anyone have any ideas how to get around this...the only one that didnt do this is oyster. Is it just junk?

Heat the needle and make it squirt. Forcing the clog through is the best option.

Keep larger needles on hand and change out. Don't open or suck air in you will contaminate your syringe.

How would i change to larger needles withouth pulling air into the syringe and contaminating it....aint worried to much they are cheap enough but still tried to burn the needle and see if i could force out the clog that way but still stuck on 2 of them

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.
