Acquiring new species, cultures vs blocks/fruiting bodies
    #26723741 - 06/06/20 10:06 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Is there any benefit besides saving time/shipping in buying a petri dish with the culture of a new species vs. buying a spawn bag/fruiting block or whole mushroom and putting it to agar?

The guy I get my species from is local and charges a premium for cultures but I was thinking why not just buy a punnit of fruiting bodies and make a clone?

I've successfully cloned a couple supermarket species so far, just wasn't sure if there is a reason the genetics would be superior when using a purchased culture.

The culture should be guaranteed fresh, if you buy spawn who knows how many times it has been expanded already.  You might get lucky, you might not.  Giving it a try is probably the only way to find out.  If it still fruits to your satisfaction, you saved some money.

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