Dont you think such large pulses would simply kill the mycelium? Its good to test both extremes of course but i also recommend you try increasingly lower voltages swell just so you can get a More comprehensive data base

https://www.amazon.com/TENS-7000-Digital-Unit-Accessories/dp/B00NCRE4GO/ref=asc_df_B00NCRE4GO?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80882941400145&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482468557469&psc=1
I want to experiment too, but have to many other projects going to devote too much time into building the unit from scratch.
Would one of these TENS units I linked off amazon work? 30-40 bucks, and basically ready to go. If it can make your muscles violently twitch, it should be good enough to test with right? Easy to dial it in with the knobs i'm sure, depending on how much power I need too.
I was wanting to see the effects of pulsed electricity delivered to mycelium on agar mostly.
Thinking about it, I remember they always rubbed some kind of vaseline before attaching the probes, for better contact. I wonder if there is an additive I could mix right in.. I wonder how I could make a probe with the best contact, especially inside an agar dish. Some kind of mesh screen or something?
Anyways, I'm also looking at those blue tooth music playing tesla coils on amazon too, for around 80 or so bucks. I wanna try sticking probes or even light bulbs right into the colonized susbtrate\fruiting mushroom bodies, and try zapping them with the coil too.
If I don't unlock the secret to creating mutant genetics with a million pins on the first flush, or some other crazy tek, at least i can zap my back pain away, and play with lightning bolts, for pretty cheap..

One more thing.. talking about electrolysis again. If OP were to separate the tub in half, with electrodes on both sides..
One side would produce some amount of pure hydrogen, and the other side pure oxygen. It is when they mix that browns gas is created, but some cell configurations split the output of the gasses, just like a tub of wet substrate divided in half would too, if you separated the electrodes far enough apart.
Oh yeah, and wouldn't the type of water have the most effects on how good it works? Distilled water isn't conductive, but maybe it is once mixed into the substrates. The question is, would using electrolytes in the water to help the flow of current be the key to getting the best results?
Just something to think about!
