Possible New LC?

Well today I had to go to the vet to have a couple pups checked out. The vet prescribed something called Re-Sorb because they were dehydrated. After looking at the package and seeing the ingredients, I thought it might make a good LC and wanted some advice from ya'll. The ingredients come in two packets that you mix together in 2 quarts of water. One packet contains: 8.82g Sodium Chloride 4.20g Potassium Phosphate 0.50g Citric Acid, Anhydrous 0.12g Potassium Citrate 6.36g Aminoacetic Acid (Glycine) The other side of the packet contains: 44.0g Glucose Here are some pics if you need them,
 
  Thanks for any advice you can give me, SKB

lol don't do it if you dogs need it...
jk i'm sure you wouldn't do something to harm your dogs.
i think that even if it could work, it would not be cost efective.
but w/e gl hf and if the results are stellar than you shoudl post about it.

well i can promise the glucose packet works perfectly alone... you basically got powdered karo there.
as for the other stuff im skeptical. sodium chloride = table salt. i've heard salt being bad for mushies but can't find concrete evidence. its bad from the aspect it will dry things out, but obviously in a liquid broth probably not a problem. potassium phosphate is said to be beneficial to alkaloid production within liquid cultured mycelium, but again i'm skeptical - that comes from the pretty shady "make 5000 doses of psilocybin in a small room" tek... i think that's supposed to be where the myc gets its P molecules from for psilo* production, but that isn't something we're concerned with in an LC used for inoculation anyway. citric acid i can promise you niether helps nor will hinder at that amount, did some tests of my own subjecting myc to some harsh pH conditions and used it to lower the pH substantially... i somewhere had this idea that a pH of 5.5 was good for myc, but again i think that's coming from that bunk psilocybin from liquid culture tek, and didn't notice the acidic environment helping squat. speaking of pH, mycelium prefer a near neutral pH, but can tolerate some pretty acidic environments (with slowed growth as it becomes more acidic)... contams prefer acidic environments too, which is partly why we buffer casing mixes... (mushrooms themselves aren't so tolerant of an acidic environment, the other reason we buffer... myc piss is acidic and we try to negate the effects of that as well)... so i wonder what the pH of that resulting mix is. i think nacl and potassium phosphate are basic?... not a chemist so i can't tell ya i do think staying around neutral is gonna be best for an LC. i can tell you glycine is a very simple amino acid (i think the simplest?) and might be of some use to the myc...
anyway my vote is for the electrolyte packet is "probably won't hurt it, probably won't help it"... and the glucose packet is probably a real expensive substitute for karo. if it does magically give you amazing results, we can probably make LC's from gatorade in the future coz you basically got unflavored gatorade powder there heh

Well, the whole pack makes 2 quarts and only costs 3 bucks so not really expensive. I tested the acidity of it and it was about 6.1, is this good or bad? I have all ready PCed a bottle of it and will be inocculating as soon as it cools. Thanks for all the info creamcorn . Laterz, SKB.

All right, I knocked it up and when/if it gets any/good growth I'll post pics. Laterz, SKB
