Taking mycelium from cow patty and transferring into spawn jar.

Is it possible to take mycelium from a cow patty you find out in the wild and put it in a spawn jar to colonize. I feel like talking about it is one thing but actually doing it could be tricky.

It would more than likely be so contaminated that it wouldn't be viable unless it was cleaned up on agar. It you put it straight to grain I'd imagine all the contams would take over, which wouldn't really allow the myc to grow.

If I were to throw mushrooms in my backyard what are the chances of colonization in the months to come. I’m from Florida btw. I’m sorry if this is a super dumb question.

Very low chance unless you have piles of poo and you blended up fresh mushrooms in water and really soaked it all, that might work out but would probably be more of a novelty grow.
If you get a couple Petri dishes or make some no pour agar plates like Pastyplates or something you could definitely grow out mycelium that you find in the wild and eventually do an indoor grow with it.
There’s no real shortcuts to growing cubes that I know of.

I’m very interested in how you would do that with an agar plate. I’ve looked into agar and doing it from scratch but kinda confused as to how you would do it from mycelium in a cow patty.

Contam would take over ASAP if it wasn’t cleaned up on Agar.

If I had to do that i would bring some tinfoil or something to the cow patty, find the most accessible mycelium i could and grab it with tweezers or in some way get it out and into my foil, wrap it up and bring it home. Put it in a still air box (SAB) with an agar plate or two and just plop it down in the middle of a dish.
There would probably be all kinds of other nasty stuff mixed in with it so it's not really a beginner's dream start lol. You may get lucky and have really aggressive mycelium grow right out and away from everything else..then you can cut a wedge of that growth and transfer to another plate and watch it grow out. You'd repeat this until you have just cube myc growing.
But if you have cubensis mycelium growing on a cow patty, that means it will put out mushrooms and I would just take one of those into the SAB and rip the stem open and get out a bit of the inner tissue and put that on a plate and do the same cleaning bit.

Yeah tissue cloning would be much more easier than dropping the Mycelium to agar. Poopy mycelium is just bound to grow more contamination than myc..

Curious as to why? Just want to grow from genetics found in the wild, or don’t wanna pay for a print? You can find reputable people on redditS sporetraders with cube prints for $10, sometimes even less if they’re having a sale or you get more than one. Did you find actual mushrooms growing from the cow patty? If you have *fresh* mushrooms to throw in your backyard, just take a spore print from them. Even if your sterile technique is terrible and the prints are dirty you’d still probably have better luck with that on agar than you would a piece of poop.

You can, just not directly. Take some mycelium threads from the cow pie and transfer to agar plates. Grow it out and grab the feathery rhizos and transfer 3 times to other agar plates growing it out each time. Use some of the mycelium from the third plate to make a batch of liquid culture, use that to inoculate your jar. Hope this helps.😁

I have spore prints from wild cubes already. I was really just curious if you could do such a thing.
