Spores vs LC ?
    #26804477 - 07/05/20 12:27 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Is LC superior to spores?
I purchased some gourmet mushrooms LC in syringe. I had never used LC before. I want to use them for rye. How much should I use for pint size jar (3/4 full).

LC is superior to spores ONLY if its clean. I suggest you inspect your LC first in an agar dish before future expansions.

Or if you dont have the provision, 0.5-1cc per grain pint jar is more than enough.

This thread was moved from Mushroom Cultivation.

Reason:
Edibles usually only come as LC/agar culture. Rather than spores.

I have some agar plates. How long should it take on agar to see if it's good?

I agree LC is superior to spores only if it is clean. The reason it is superior is that it is faster. But an even better option is to do G2G (grain to grain). I have not done any LC so I only know a little about it. But I would suggest buying from a reputable spawn provider like Aloha, Amycel, Or North Spore. Sure you will pay more but they do all the work and you get a monoculture that is proven to be a good fruiter. You only have to buy one time the you make master slants and you are good for years to come. Aloha Elma is a good strain and I would definitely suggest it.

Thanks for your reply.
I currently have some grain. See picture. How do I use it to colonize more grain? Anything I should be aware of?

I use whole oats and millet because it is the cheapest grain. I have used just whole oats in the past but you don't end up whit as many inoculation points without the millet. I soak for 24 hours and strain for 1/2 hour and into the jars they go. then PC for 2 hours.

I sent you a PM on how to G2G.

Where do you get your millet?  I need to find a source but couldn't manage online... do you use a local feed store?

I get my millet from country boy seeds or from southern states.

Here is a place that white millet is $0.50 an lb with free shipping if you buy 100 lbs. So 2 50 lb bags are $51.96...
