EDIT in (i): Sterile water injected into jar on the left,

Water was drawn up into a syringe,
wrapped with aluminum foil,
steamed it for 25 minutes,
let cool,
shook the jar on left,
injected the water into the jar on left,
withdrew the water with the same syringe,
and injected that water into the two jars on the right.

That was on 10/08 using NO glovebox.

Other jars?
You mean...from the other thread?
NO...those were LC

You can get quality spawn using many methods.

Interesting test..but for every 2 jars colonized you must sacrifice (shaking) one.

I believe it's better proceed commonly with agar wedge and save your time sterilizing twice.

You don't sacrifice the jar; you can still use it as spawn.

Sterilizing twice?

The syringe once, and the rye jars.

This is not about agar...this is about mycelium water.

Someone with no agar skills will appreciate this more than you.

Very cool! A sort of g2g transfer by using only water. Did you let the sterilized water sit in the colonized "mother jar" for a time or remove it immediately?

EDIT: How long did colonization take for the other jars?

In bewilderment, I realized I am the endless sea.

Hello RoachMan.

First of all i want to specify that that's my opinion and i said it's interesting, but for me every 2 jars of spawn you sacrifice 1 other jar (that spawn i will not use for future grain to grain transfers if i have some large batch to inocule).

Growing mushrooms requests knowledge, costancy and passion. Yes growing Psilocybe cubensis is extremely easy, and your tek is really useful, but imho contamination rate using your tek isn't an unnegligible fact. Grains, as you know, are a really rich food for bacteria. You can't know if in your spawn there are dormant bacterias that will blow into the uncolonized grain (except if you check the heath of the mycelium with a microscope..at 400x if i don't remember bad.

IMHO people must know and be able to manage cultures, before trying every existent tek. I believe a glovebox is a thing that everyone at 99% can afford.

Have a nice day,
Fabio

I recently did the same thing.

I took the jar that donated the myc. and spawned it to coir in a small shoebox sized container. It's still incubating but so far so good. Of course, i let the jar re-colinize before spawning it. But the jars i used the grain lc on are colinizing very quickly. They'll be 100% in right around 1 week after knocking them up.

This is what my friend's doing now! He has a 60cc syringe he will fill with water to use, per another tek he found here. Eager to see results that good!

Contamination is NEVER "negligible".

However, healthy spawn is just that...HEALTHY.

You said "dormant bacteria" in the spawn.
That is why the rye jars are heat/pressure sterilized...to kill competing fungi and bacteria.

Using liquid mycelium is the same as doing G2G (as far as results go).

This tek is mainly directed at people who do not have a glovebox, can't afford to build one at the moment, or just don't want another big rubbermaid container lying around.

It's also meant for people who may not have experience making LC, have had contaminations using LC, and who may not have skills with doing agar work.

It's simple, effective, takes much less time to expand your mycelium than waiting on LC to grow, etc.

Personally, I PREFER using LC,
and I just did this because RogerRabbit always talks about how liquid Mycelium is better than LC.

It is (per RR) a better way to expand mycelium because it is less contamination prone than an LC.

I hope this clears some things up;
I'll try to do a write-up today for Shastro.


LC and liquid mycelium grow at about the same rate,
both kinds of jars colonize in 7-10 days (on rye).
(Using no incubator, room temperature, and stored in drawer.)
A lot of times it grows so fast I don't even bother shaking until it is time to spawn them.  :smile:
