I've been doing some reading lately about culturing Claviceps spp. in submerged culture, but all of the patents and journal articles make use of a rotary shaker. These machines are quite expensive I've found, but are they really necessary in culturing? What purpose do they serve? Couldn't one simply shake the culture a few times a day, like one does when growing a Psilocybe LC, to distribute mycelium?

I'm sure you could do the same thing with magnetic stirring. They're only used AFAIK because it's cheaper to get a 5-8 flask shaker table than 5 different mag stirrers.

Shaking once a day isn't going to agitate and aerate nearly as much as constant shaking.
