Cloning large shrooms
    #5745189 - 06/13/06 09:23 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

If one was to clone their largest fruit by making a LC with it and inoculating a cake, would it carry on genetics of its size?

The last (successful) clone i did a few years ago the shrooms did not come out exactly like the one I had cloned, but they grew fast and were similir in size across the bord.

I use agar to isolate the strand then put it into a LC, you might want to maybe concider that?

yes and no... the clones grown will have the same genetics as the large fruit, but they won't necessarily be the same size.  size is determined by amount of substrate (depth), quality and availibility of nutrients in the substrate, growing parameters, and probably most importantly is availability of moisture.  when its at the very early pin stage, your clones will be near identical to the large fruit when it was at its pin stage.  from there there's a whole slew of environmental factors that contribute to how big or not it ends up growing.  understand that mushrooms are sort of like water balloons... when a mushroom is just a pin, its entirely formed, when it grows its basically inflated with water and strengthened as it goes, but no new cells are created during that process... so if you get a grasp on that you realize why the end results can differ even from the same genetics.

choosing a large fruit is certainly a foot in the right direction, you have genetics on hand that you know are capable of getting that big at least.  given optimal conditions you can get some real quality returns on your clone then... :thumbup:

edit - just thought of a nice analogy to add for you.  think of two identical twins (humans)... one of them grows up on a healthy diet and exercises regularly, the other eats 6 cheeseburgers a day.  they have the same genetics but aren't going to be the same size :smile:
