Alright so like the subject says this might be a stupid question but i am curious. So you know how you can put a peice of mushroom meat onto some agar and it will grow myc. because all a mushroom is is a bunch of compressed myc. So question is: I wanted to try and grow white button mushrooms also. But no spores so could i go to the store and buy a thing of fresh white button mushroom and remove a peice of meat from the cap and apply on agar and get myc from it. Well slap me if you need to but any thoughts would be great.

First you'll have to learn sterile culture technique, it's not easy covering all your bases believe me it truely needs to be learned. You'll need a still air glovebox, agar plates and H2O2 among other things. You can growout most any fresh mushrooms you want. Get a copy of "The Mushroom Cultivator" or do a Google to learn more.

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

I got a new glove box just yesterday and i got THE MUSHROOM CULTIVATOR. I tell you what that is the most wonderful book i have ever read. I got all the other stuff. I was thinking if you go to the store and looked for buttons with the viel still closed then well you still have spores in it right.

You're pretty close to the TEK needed to clone a mushroom. Sterility is important, but it's certainly possible/easy to do without a glovebox and only limited sterile techniques.
