I´m searching and reading about sclerotia producers and want to try new things




In numerous side-by side-tests, I've found a rather large difference in the amount of sclerotia produced by simply hydrating the rye berries or rye grass seed with weak liquid coffee. Use your leftover morning coffee, diluted with water to about half normal drinking strength. Don't make it stronger than that, or growth actually slows, possibly due to the low pH.

I've noticed this in several sclerotia producing species including morels. I'm not sure what it is in the coffee that produces the result, but it doesn't seem to be the caffeine. Other growers have added pure caffeine, and not seen the benefit, and still others have used decaf coffee and the benefits were noticeable. Good luck.

OK thanks, I´ll try the coffee thing in my next batch.
By hydrating, do you mean to just let the grain soak overnight or maybe some simmering is requiered?

Both. I soak for 24 hours, and then boil. You can find my rye tek by using 'search posts'. Search for rye tek, using my username.

Or you can soak in a weak bleach solution, so i have read with plant tissue culturing.

Mycophile would soak tissue in a weak solution of peroxide and distilled water.

I've used bleach also, and it's effective against bacteria. I don't like peroxide because it tends to damage the mushroom mycelium right at the time you're trying to get it to grow as rapidly as possible to outrun contaminants, which always seem to have a faster recovery time than the mushroom mycelium.
