How important is FAE in LC?
    #8020498 - 02/13/08 11:48 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

How important is FAE in LC?

When incubating mycelium, it should be in total darkness and it according to The Mushroom Cultivator, Paul Stamets suggests no air exchange is needed.

So, my ultimate question, do you need a filter on an Liquid Culture jar? Is a lid with a simple self-sealing injection point sufficient?

I guess I know the answer, but I'm just looking for consensus.

Thanks all.

No. Dont worry about it.

i just put a hole in the lid of my jar and inoculate.
cover with tape or something afterwards.

no filter, non of that shit.

I could be mistaken, but i think that lc's need air exchange which is different from FAE. I've had success with just a baby bottle tek style lc which included just a self healing silicone injection port.

Nice, thanks.

I remember reading a tek for making lids that had a very elaborate mechanism for injection (silicone) and air flow (polyfill). Since I couldn't find it, I figured the majority discarded it.

Gas Exchange & FAE are two different things.

That's what I get for my lazy use of abbreviations. In any case, is oxygen (more than what exists in the water and air before sealing) needed?

I like this tek. Its simple and does not include gas exchange.

gas exchange isnt as important in an lc as it is in a PF or WBS jar, the most exchange needed can be achieved by punching a 1/8" hole in the center of the lid (for inoculation) and after inoculation cover the hole with the sticky part of a BRAND NEW band-aid as it will be sterile when its new and fresh out of the package.
Personally if i didnt need a hole to inoculate thru (you really dont, but its more contaminate risky) I would use a solid lid to allow for shaking to break up the mycelium

the filter offers 2 things. the most important thing is that it filters the air that is sucked in while you pull out the lc. The empty space has to be replaced with something. If you have negative pressure in there eventually you would not be able to suck the lc out.


prox or hydridprox says that lc's must have fresh air exchange or they will die. He says that you have to inject the lc with o2 via the syringe

I agree!

You don't need air exchange so the mycelia can breathe or so that gasses can excape, but, you do need it for the reason Tahoe stated.
This only applies to an LC though, not your spawn jars(you know that of course).

Yup:thumbup: Theoretically you have enough air in the remainder of the jar (where the LC isn't) for the LC to live. But a gas exchange hole never hurt any LC...

prox or hydridprox is wrong. If this were true My 2 year old vacutainer LC's wouldn't be good, and they are.

believe me I know this. Proxx/hybridprox is an idiot. Too bad he has me on ignore so he will never see this.
He also suggest pc'ing grain for 2 hours but this is after you soak for 36 hours, pc for 2 hours, soak again for 12 hours and pc it for a second time for 90 mins

On topic, I'm trying something new with my LC

Silicone injector site. Silicone site on other side with a polyfil syringe. PC it all together, with foil covering the top of the syringe.

I'm just gonna leave that syringe in there indefinably. Should allow me to innoc and withdraw solution without too much of an issue.
