Yes, mycelium cell walls. It helps the nuclei to do whatever it is they do.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I noticed in the original post that there was refrence to other things being used for this purpose. No one ever mentioned what they were. What are the other additives that could promote that?

I first learned of rattlesnake venom from attending a medicinal mushroom conference in 2005. John Holliday did a presentation on it. Here's a link to a paper he wrote. John Holliday is director of research at alahomedicinals.com and there's lots more info on his website.

I got a friend who has a ranch and has SHITLOADS of rattles every year...it gets up in the 100s...Im gonna start going up there and milking it..but I dont know how to keep it viable I mean...will it lose its shit being in a air tight container? Can I keep it in the freezer?

Im thinking of doing it and sending it to mycologist for free...I love snakes and amphibians...im also trying to raise Bufo Alvarius Toads and try breeding in captivity without the injection of hormones

> breeding in captivity without the injection of hormones

Good luck with that. Keep us posted on that in ODD and C&P. I raised one for quite awhile.

I know someone with a bunch of poisonous snakes, so I wonder what kinds of venom would be useful?

I also wonder if the activity is due solely to weakening the cell walls. Chitinase would then work for this also. PEG helps for fusing protoplasts so maybe that would also be a useful additive.

The venom is not heat stable, so it needs to be added just before pouring the agar, after it's cooled almost to the point of solidifying. For this reason, it must be completely sterile. Sigma Scientific sells purified snake venom, freeze dried into a powder. It has to be stored at -20C or less until use.

I'm not sure of their process, but I've never had it contaminate the agar. It's about three times the price of powder cocaine, so not for everyone who just wants to experiment.

Search this forum for the Redboy thread(s). I had some 20 year old redboy spores that simply would not germinate, no matter what I tried. After placing the non-viable spores on venomated agar for a couple of weeks, I released monokaryotic PR mycelium to crawl over the dish. Low and behold, when the monokaryotic mycelium reached the area where the spores were near the edge, two separate rhizomorphic strains emerged. Somehow the snake venom allowed the PR mycelium to access the nucleus of the spores for mating. I had tried this without the venom to no avail. The very first time venom was used, the result was dikaryotic mycelium, and the redboy strain was back as a 50/50 cross with PR. The experiment was repeated with the offspring, resulting in 75% Redboy(perhaps? I'm not a geneticist), which was then released to the community.

Can I get the name to that site?

Interesting story...is the venom expensive?

This process sucks now lol(milking and selling the venom)...I'd have to get a freeze drier because I know now freezer that I have goes below -20...I don't think

Not to mention you shouldn't be running around picking up rattlesnakes and grabbing their head to milk them. Your not the crocodile hunter lol. Feel free to post after your hospital experience.

oh and RR, on that note if you didnt use all of your red boy spores why dont you repeat it with your PR and RB hybrid and make it 75% RB and 25% PR and again until their are only trace amounts or PR to get that RB back? by the 5th try it would be at a 6.25% out of 100 chance that it would resemble a PR that leaves 93.75% RB

Isn't that exactly what I said I did in my last post? :shrug:

The 75% RB/PR cross used up the last of the original 20 year old spores.  It's all covered in the Redboy thread from four years ago.
