Hey all...FOAF needs some help. The search button is making his head hurt.
1. Can Tamps be grown on horse dung
2. Is karo a sufficient LC medium
3. What is the general colonization time for Rye inoculated with healthy Tamp LC?
4. From experience, what have we found the optimal colonization temperate to be?
5. ...nah...thats it for now.
Thanks folks, 'Doobers

1. Most likely yes, but I haven't tried it.
2. Dilute Karo might work but it is a fairly pure sugar. Mycelium needs trace nutrients to thrive. Also most LC formulas I've seen are far to rich for good growth. Try no more than 1 teaspoon per quart jar of water. A pinch of dried yeast (active or nutritional) or whole grain flour will provide missing nutrients.
3. Colonization time varies with temperature and amount of LC but it should be under 10 days at 80F.
4. "The Mushroom Cultivator" says 75-81F but I like 80F.

Wich of the sclerotia producing species(and strains of thoose) give the best yield(of sclerotia)?

So far it is still P. mexicana strain A. I have high hopes for P. atlantis with its quick generation of sclerotia but so far I don't think it will beat the mexicana. The poorest yields are from P. tampanensis which takes twice as long and yields about 50% of the sclerotia as P. mexicana strain A.

Workman answered it, but I have tried both karo water and dung...karo water works fine by itself (although adding other nutes would give you better growth)..dung did not work at all though. Stones grew like wild fire, around the edges, but I couldnt get them to fruit, and I've fruited them on rye grass seed and rye berries before. It was from a multispore, and I only did 2 jars, into two pans of dung, so its possible it was just a poor fruiting strain and you could get it to work, however it doesnt seem to well suited to it. Stones were dried but I have yet to have potency tested..

Atlantis really liked 4% honey / 96% water LC
my FOAF has jars of Rye and Wild Rice side by side, inoculated with Atlantis, and while the Wild Rice is a few orders of magnitude more expensive than Rye, the mycelium really seems to enjoy chewing through it, compared to Rye
