McDonalds frech fries as sterile substrate

ive seen cubensis on lots of curious substrates (bible, paper, marijuana).... its hardly cheap in terms of substrate but it be damn interesting to see. it does look like there are a ton of preservatives though.....

roger rabbit?

They seem very resistant to mycelium growth so; probably as worthless substrate as sand or a jar of fungicides....

i agree, it isnt a really feasible substrate. i would just like to see it grown on for novelty purposes.

a quap of white widow is pretty worthless as a substrate too, but its probably the coolest thing ive seen mushrooms grown on.

mushrooms in sand sounds awesome though.

If mold grows on an object, mushroom mycelium likely will too. From that mc donalds video, I'd say inoculate the fish sandwich.

If you have a fungal infection in your body, eat mc donalds french fries.

The french fries are cooked in hot oil for a time, well above the boiling point of water, which would be similar to pressure cooking. Possibly even more effective. The fries are completely sterile and low in water content.

The fries start their journey sterile, were probably exposed to the air for only a few seconds (still piping hot) before being placed in the bag (not sterile, but probably very low in possible contams). He quickly moved the fries from the bag to the jar, minimizing contact with open air contams. Also, the oils on the surface of the fries might prevent spores from germinating and guard against bacterial infection.

I would wager that some mcdonalds fries placed HOT into a ziploc bag, allowed to cool, then inoculated with healthy culture, would grow and fruit. And maybe deep-frying substrate in oil is good way to keep the contams from getting a foothold. Maybe we could come up with some easy deep-frying sterilization techniques for people who don't have a pressure cooker.

Oh, and as interesting as the video and experiment was, I hate how it contributes to the ignorance of our society. There are many reasons not to eat at McDonalds, but how nasty things look as they rot has nothing to do with how healthy (or unhealthy) something is. Based on his experiment it looks like the fries are safest to eat, since the other foods were full of nasty contaminants.

I tried. I don't know if it was the salt, oil, or the little bit of soap made from frying the starch, but it didn't work for me.
I didn't expect much though. I've cleaned old fries from the floor of my car that looked like they were just ordered.


If you just want to try something interesting, I've had luck with corn and flour tortillas, pasta, sweet potatoe skins, spagetti sause. Cubes seem to love tomatoe products. I adjust the PH with household baking soda.


Be safe.
Have fun.
Try new shit.

hey if I were to use a mcdonalds fish sandwich how would I go about sterilizing it so that I get rid of all the possible contams so I could inoculate itwith some mycelium?

Nothing grew on the fries because of the massive amount of salt that mc donalds uses. Remember, salt has been used for thousands of years as a preservative.

Skip the fish sandwich and use organic, not animal, materials for substrate.

salt has got to be bad for the body in large quantities. i think the video is trying to prove that fries are bad for you body because not even mold can break it into nutrients. then again maybe the fries weren't introduced to as many mold spores as the other things before being put into the jar.

I'm with RR on the salt, I worked at McDonalds when I was a youngin' and they load them up with salt. The other fries that molded very quickly probably didn't have any/or very little salt on them.

I did the McDonalds smoking fry experiment when I first saw this movie.


He lied, the McDonalds fries were FUBAR after 8 days.:mad2:

Didn't they use to have veggie burgers at McDonalds?

Wouldn't that make a more suitable substrate?
