You talking syringes or prints? I've had great luck with old syringes never a problem but prints have been another story. The surface of a spore is one of the hardest substances known to man if you look under a microscope you will see how they shrivel over time, I've personally seen spores 10yrs old take 2 weeks to germinate I've heard even three weeks from some cultivators. Most of us now have availability so time isn't or shouldn't be a problem.

well the old ones were takin from a print i had in a book and made a syringe and innoc'd about 24 hours later to let rehydrate.i could see it taking a long time with very old spores like you said 10 years lol (rr said he had a hard time with redboy which is 20-25 years heh) but with my little collection i havent seen a big diff..oh also theses are edibles (shouldnt make a diff though)

I've seen germination on a microscope slide within 20 minutes when fresh spores were used. About one spore out of one hundred will germinate when fresh, meaning 99% are duds. By one year, that ratio drops to less than one spore out of a thousand that will germinate. It goes downhill from there. With multispore inoculation, you often use several million spores, so you up the chances of the few that survive being in the mix.

hell, I'm freaked out by my latest experiment...

I took the spore coated rings off the stems of two mushrooms I grew outside on cowpoo, put them in a shotglass with aquafina that had been drunk out of, and happened to rinse some spores off of my FINGER into the shot glass as well. Covered with a tyvek disk I cut earlier, and in a DAY, had cloudy growth in the bottom of the shot glass.

I made a sterile (200 ml) honey water solution in the microwave, sucked up the liquid from the shotglass with a sterilized oral syringe and injected it into the honey water. Myc is growing RAPIDLY in the honey water over the past two days, sitting in light on top of my computer monitor.

unless I'm growing something else in the water, I'm amazed at the heartyness (is that a word?) of this particular bit of fungal material. I'm pretty sure this is mushroom myc, as it's also growing off the bits of purplish ring remnants that ended up in the honey water solution. I plan on PCing some jars of BRF+verm and injecting some of the LC in them to see what comes of it. Oh yeah, these are nice potency too... at least their parents were.

From the sounds of it the mycellium is particularly speedy, I'm sure if you were to inject into a BRF cake you'd get some quick colonization. I just started some LC myself but the honey I used left a bunch of debris inside. I'm kinda disappointed and I'm not sure if the spore will even germinate inside the solution? Any ideas?

I really wouldn't worry about the sediment. It's probably just pollen, proteins from the honey, etc. If I recall correctly, honey is antibacterial for the most part, though it can carry Botulinin spores. If you PC it, I think you take care of that, so I really wouldn't sweat the sediment. Mine was filtered honey, but I would have used unfiltered if I had had it.

Use the LC. It'll be fine.

also, next time you make up the honey solution, you can filter it through a coffee filter into another jar and then PC it so you don't get the sediment. Just make sure you start with hot water, so the honey dissolves.

I did exactly that (PC). Thanx tho thats awesome I was starting to get worried, but I just checked them I'm starting to maybe see some growth...i think. Oh well thanx again. Great coffee filter idea.

14 is about normal as far as I know.. also if something looks like its growing UBER fast.. its probaly a contam! I hate when contams do that crap.

Defiantly not a contam. tho, I can tell you that with 99% certainty.

And again I'm not saying that light is a huge factor I'm just showing you this is the general consensus among most people even tho it maybe an myco myth.




Dude , you're coming from 5 years in the past . You still use coir as a casing layer and not a sub ?

This is a science , and hence , things change .

Coir was in my substrate. I don't plan on casing them at all, from what you told me a sometime ago Coir substrates are not generally cased. Your Coir grow a few months ago is actually what spawned this experiment since I had starting adding Coir into my sub. I noticed the benefits.

And yeah I know those are outdated posts I was just giving him a separate point of view. As old and outdated as it is. But like I said at the beginning I realize I was under a common misconception about this subject. Light alone I now know cannot cause fruiting.
