Ignore holographic, agar culture helps establish a pure culture. A pure culture is the best way to establish uniformity. Multispore germinations are great to. A pure culture of a good strain is what you need to do actual liquid culture, holographic. If you just put spores in water, or honey, the resultant liquid is going to have several strains growing, therefore it will be less uniform upon growing out to the mushroom stage. Most if not all Mushroom farms, not spore vendors, but commercial mushroom farms use pure cultures of known productive quality. When your livelyhood depends on getting uniform harvests, of uniform mushrooms, in a set time frame, under certain environmental parameters, it is an absolute must. If you just want to produce some shrooms mannnnnnnn, do what ever you want. But to argue that multispore germinations are equal to the use of a pure strain of known quality, is rediculous. Everyone in the legal shroom industry starts with a pure culture for spawn production, their livelyhood depends on this. Yield is better, and uncertainty is removed from the equation.

As far as the PF tek goes, I wouldn't use agar to inoculate, because you can't shake the jars to distribute. If you transfered your pure strain to liquid and then inoculated with the liquid , it would work great.

I am to assume then, that a single strain innoculation, will give a more even flush on casings? For example, if one was to clone 1 big shroom onto agar, then, use that agar to innoculate compost and case, the shrooms would all be a relatively the same size? And would they flush at the same rate? A nice handful of the same shrooms to munch.... :-) That would look nice! I realize it is not necessary to get a crop, but if these things are true, then one could harvest a whole flush at the same time etc. w/o waiting hours for the others to mature to their full potential before veil break. Am I correct in my assumptions? I

YES YOU ARE ABSOLUTLEY CORRECT. You still will have occassional variations in speed of maturation, and some aborts due to heavy pin set, etc... but it will be relatively even. Isolation of pure strains gives you the ability to know what you are gonna grow each time. Not a general idea, but an exact idea.

It is so clear you are a poser teonan I know youhave never even inoculated a jar much less worked with agar. Why don't you actually read Paul Stamet's "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms" instead of just pretending like you have. The yield benefit of pure culture varies from species to species, cultivar to cultivar. Pinning strategy is a much more relevant determining factor in yield than pure culture, especially on such a small scale. Light, air temperature, relative humidity, co2 and fresh air are the "limiting factors". Introduce the proper lighting, proper relative humidity, proper air temperature and proper levels of fresh air at the right time during the appropriate stages of growth and you maximize yield.

In chapter 15 of GG&MM under the subject of spore-mass inoculation, stamets writes about how in multi spore inoculations the most aggressive strains over ride the weaker strains to gain control of the substrate. They literally overpower and invade the cellular network of the weaker strains. Further more, in other parts of the book Stamets recants his claims from his previous book "The Mushroom Cultivator" that multi spore inoculations are bad.

You are such a poser teonan it is painful. You have not grow anything.

the only person making a fool of himself is you! everybody on here has posted picks of their growing except you....why is that? maybe it's because you have never grown anything?? yep I think that is what it is. oh and if you want to check out some of my most recent pics then look at the thread "milk dunk report" by hippie.

hey hollow mind, at least I can prove what I say...can you? oh I forgot, you can't post pics of shrooms you don't grow.

b+ grows bigger, equadors are potent as long as you pick them pre-sporulation.

and hollow mind, mock5 knows your the one who trashed the thread shroomgrower wannabe!

no, are you doing them pf cake style? if so grow them normally. they do real good. do you have eq's and B+ are you just trying to decide? if you haven't give the b+ atry and the equadors. are the pf classics are a real easy shroom to grow too. where are you getting the spores from?
