Dowel Supplementation
    #26757058 - 06/19/20 11:03 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I have a strange shiitake strain that colonizes fast on agar but extremely slow on grain, last time it took 3 months for a jar, and from what I hear that's not normal. I am currently experimenting with shorter cooking times, because I had the idea it might be from the starches being too cooked, and therefore the grains "too nutritious" (degraded into simpler sugars etc, reason why we humans cook its pre-digestion), similar as to how adding to much sugar to Agar slows down growth, and since I have quite long simmering times, usually 45mins to an hour (+PC time of course).
Or I thought maybe they just need much more moisture to grow decently fast than King Oyters and Cubes, the other strains I've had experience so far.

Alternatively, to pass the time and have something to experiment and hopefully have some quicker success with, I was thinking of going Agar -> Dowels. But supplement the dowels with sugar or molasses, as I've heard RR propose it. I didnt find any amounts anywhere, so does anyone have an idea of for example for a quart jar full of hydrated dowels how much honey/dextrose to use? And would you add anything else like Potato Water or yeast like in PDYA?

I'm also gonna set up an LC, but this will also take time and I wanna do something today, so I'm gonna be going multiple routes at once.
