Cloning Pins Directly to Agar
#5703541 - 06/02/06 10:33 AM (17 years, 7 months ago) |

A few years ago, I ran several experiments to prove/disprove stamets' theory that if you clone very young healthy pins, the hormones that stimulate pinning are active, therefore the mycelium that grows from those pins will in turn produce better flushes with abundunt primordia and fewer aborts. The tests were inconclusive, but in producing my mushroom instructional DVD, I've started up many of the old experiments in order to demonstrate them on the DVD. Here's a sneak peak. These pins were snipped off a healthy casing layer that was supporting a massive pinset. In a glovebox, flame sterilized tweezers were used to hold the pins, while a flame sterilized scalpel was used to cut them off just above the casing layer. Anybody want to give odds on if cloning this way will work? I keep hearing that pins will rot. Whatcha folks think? RR

It probably will work...
I did something simular...but I cut the caps off.
and they cloned just fine.
Plus we all know you seem to have a knack to do things that seem impossible!~

i bet it works.
i've missed aborts before, dunked, saw them turn black and nasty, then mycelium started growing on them. (perhaps feeding in a "cannibalistic" manner, eating the dead mushroom tissue?) so even if they "rot" i say it still goes. i don't buy that the hormones present in the pins help anything. it would be such a minute amount, and when you take out a mycelium wedge you're starting at the beginning again, i don't see how pinning hormones present in your original sample has anything to do with a mycelium sample that's going to go through a colonization run before fruiting again... i have heard of collecting a bunch of pins, pulverizing and making a solution, and using that solution to mist a casing, and while that's more likely to work IMO i still doubt it... you are cloning a strain that you know is capable of fruiting, so you'll see gains there, and i could see how it could be confused that the hormones did it, but i think any "prolific fruiting" experienced from the clone would be no more than a good choice in strain isolation
and what exactly is "rotting" anyway? when we think of rotten food its usually obvious, covered in mold sometimes, and usually stinky (bacteria)... i don't see how a clean pin kept in a sterile plate could rot... but then again the likelyhood of a pin itself being sterile depends on your growing environment and isn't too likely... maybe washing them off in a strong h2o2 solution (and maybe even using antibiotic agar) would prevent that? dunno i'm babbling... 
that's an awesome petri btw, where does one find those with the nifty separators?

what agar is that?
i wonder, if you use some sort of peroxide agar/antibiotic agar i see good chances that itll work. given those pins do have bacteria on them or alike (after all thats why we take tissue from inside otherwise) youd need some component to keep eg molds form growing before the pin myc takes over the agar.
curious hows it gonna work  god agar, if i knew how much fun it'd be id started 2 yrs ago with agar.

Cool looking dish.
I think it will work.
Why does a pin have better hormones than a cut out wedge?

there's supposedly hormones present in your mycelium network that signals to start producing pins. it would then stand to reason that there's a concentration of the hormones left in a very young pin. i still got some problems with it.
i dont think we understand the exact mechanism that causes mycelium to create pins. we understand the conditions required, but that doesn't tell us exactly how it works. maybe i've missed something in my reading but i've never come across anything that conclusively proves there's a hormone involved in the first place, and if so what exactly it is! second off, assuming there is this hormone mechanism, i'd think it would be present in the mycelium network itself. pins are basically "templates" for a full grown mushroom. all of the mushroom's cells are created then and there. they're then inflated with water, and strengthened as they expand. who says the hormone that triggered the pin creation would ever even find its way into the pin then? again there's a hole in my knowledge there as to what the supposed hormone "is"... maybe it has been isolated and pins tested and proven to contain it... so i could be wrong.
its still interesting as hell and i really hope we can all make some conclusions from it.

I don't think the pin would have more hormones than a cutout of the same pin. I also think peroxide is horribly overrated for agar work. It does a good job of 86'ing cobweb on a casing layer, but isn't much good in my experience preventing bacteria on agar. I have some oyster and reishi clones that were taken from wild fruits earier in the week that I dipped in peroxide for five minutes before putting on agar and all six dishes are growing bacteria, not mycelium. You can also dip clones into a 5% bleach solution, and get much better results than peroxide for bacteria and mold spores. RR

I use Gentamicin Sulfate. The three section petri dishes are $68 for a box of 500 from www.cenmed.com You need a business license and an account to get them, but well worth the price. The three sections reduce the price by 1/3 because you can do three experiments simultaneously in the same dish. They're especially practical for strain isolation which uses a lot of agar and dishes. Here's the above dish from five days later. RR

Good work! That is great. But cubes pin really well anyways so how could you possibly tell if the hormones or whatever you was talking about are actually making a difference?

What I'm saying is that even if he does get some incredible flushes from these clones it still wont prove that pin clones perform better because of those hormones. You can get incredible flushes and performance from multi spore inoculations too.

well there is a way to test it.
start with a cloned/isolated strain. grow it out. clone a pin and clone a piece of tissue from a mature fruit body. grow it out again, (2 trays now, same genes, one from pin one from fruit) observe any differences. repeat experiment from the beginning a few times to eliminate "noise" from your grow parameters and other variance, and see if the ones from the pins consistently do any better. this way you're dealing with the same genetics all around, but can get back to the original issue, does cloning from a pin have any benefit from cloning at other stages.
i'd bet RR is already ahead of us and has something like that in mind just wanted to point it out for the rest.

But you don't agree that this experiment wont prove the hormone theory?
I know that it wont prove anything. If he gets some good performance you can always attribute it to the fact that its a clone with good fruiting capabilities. This experiment in no way will prove that mycelium from pin clones have more pin triggering hormones or that they had an effect on the flush.
IMO the only way to do that is to figure out exactly what hormone it is, make it artificially and test it by adding it to the casing mixture.

Glad I got you guys thinking. That's what we like to see. Of course I knew the answer before posting the original pic. You don't think I'd post my failures do you? The o'lady doesn't even get to see those! lol
Questions about hormones aside, one thing this experiment does show is the aggressive cloning quality of pins. These pins were not sterile by any means, yet they were layed on the agar and the rapidly expanding mycelium simply overran any bacteria or molds that may have been present. You wouldn't get that same performance from a large fruit that was fully mature. Of course, I would never transfer those sections to grains because of dormant contaminant spores that may be present. Instead, a small piece of mycelium from the leading edge should be transferred to a new dish, which once grown out for a few days can then inoculate up to ten quart jars, or be transferred to LC to grow out the isolated strain for even larger inoculations.

So the experiment failed? Was there too much bacteria on the mycelium or what?
Did you ever get to the casing point or did it fail at the grain?

The experiment did not fail. When I said I don't post failures, I was being facetious. It was inconclusive on the hormone thing. This was already an isolated strain and an excellent performer. If anything, it may have pinned a day or two sooner, but there's too many other variables involved to be able to attribute it to just the hormones.
Perhaps the most valuable lesson is to pick pins for cloning, rather than mature fruits. RR

Does the inner tissue of a more mature specimen have less chance of having bacteria than cloning a pin or is it about the same?

There seems to be some mechanism that I don't fully understand yet that causes certain pins to abort or stay small, while others get all the energy. That trigger, whatever it is seems to occur later than the time I picked the above pins. I believe it originates from within the mycelial network itself rather than in individual fruits, because I've cloned a lot of pins like this and also done g2g from jars that were pinning invitro, and never had a pin fail to break down like these did back into extremely aggressive mycelium.

RR, so you took a pin from an invitro grow, and put it in a jar of grain and it colonized quickly?

Yes. They look just like the pins on the petri dishes above after four or five days. By the time the grains colonize, the pin(s) are/is completely gone. RR

Would it work to place a sterile larger fruit in a grain jar? Do you think there's a limit to how mature the fruits could be? Also, i read you dont like dunking in h202, but a bleech dip sounds like a good, safe, way to go?

Use pins, not mature fruits. The pins grow very aggressively to eat for lunch any contaminant spores that might be on them. a large already slowed down fruit will not. RR
