If you really want to avoid making costs then don't buy a blender. You really don't need one. A good low-cost alternative is to make agar cultures in whiskey bottles (it works also in other bottles but the flat sides of whiskey bottles provide a large surface while you do not need much agar). When the agar surface is colonized you can fill the bottle for 1/4 with water, shake like hell for a minute, fill the bottle completely and you are ready to inoculate.

I love this method because you do not need to take the culture out to make a slurry and of course because you can do without a blender.

If cost is an issue, look at thrift stores/second hand stores. I got a perfect blender for this purpose for $2.

Why don't you make a magnetic stirrer? Very simple and relatively inexpensive to make.

Mag stirrers don't exactly blend now do they?

I've thought of trying to add a razor blade to a stir bar, but I have never tried it.

Ok I have read the attached blender tek. Here is a simplefied version. Cut a wedge from a colonized cake (use a flame-sterilized scalpel) and put it in a clean tall jar (or bottle). I commonly use 100ml shoulderless jars for that purpose but shoulderlessness is not a main concern here. In the jar is a concentration of 0.15 percent hydrogen peroxide (i.e. one part standard 3 percent hydrogen peroxide diluted with 19 volume parts of tapwater) and the jar is for about 20 percent full. Throw the wedge in, close the jar and shake like hell for a minute, then fill the jar completely with tapwater. Wait five minutes (this allows the peroxide to kill unicellular contaminants), fill your syringe(s) and inject new substrate.

Be aware that this mixture kills the mycelium over time, especially the part which is submerged, best is to use the syringes within 24 hours.

A small mouth mason jar fits inside most standard $20 blender bases. Fill 1/3 to 2/3 full of distilled water and screw on the seal, base, and ring. Just remember not to completely tighten the lid when autoclaving. It will melt down if steam cannot escape, been there done that. Place the cooker/autoclave in front of your hood to cool and tighten jar when you open the autoclave. That's how the sterile technique works with household goods. I enjoy using this method with spores, clones, and cakes. You could even replace the water with a liquid culture and drop a chunk of shroom in for shredding and cloning. I feel like I get a lot of bang for my buck using my hillbilly eberbach. As a word of caution, if you contaminate any part of this, you will pass it to everything you inoculate. I've not had consistent success with peroxide, so I don't fool with it.
