Hey brother, this is from a cultivator who has been growing for about 50 years… a fellow named, “Marc R. Keith… also known as RR… “Throwing spores into honey or karo has to be the worst possible way to make a liquid culture and I'll be glad when this current fad passes and folks can get back to established techniques. Just inoculate some grains or brf in the standard way and you'll be miles ahead. For those who wish to make LC for inoculation, here's a way to get 100 syringes full of inoculant in two weeks: 1) Inoculate a quart jar of rye berries or wbs with your spores. Upon full colonization, shake the jar to loosen each individual kernel. Be sure to give it the smell test to make sure it smells like fresh mushrooms. 2) PC a quart of distilled water in a jar with a filter disk or tyvek, etc. In a glovebox or in front of a flowhood, pour 2/3 of the quart jar of sterilized water into your jar of shaken grains. 3) Shake well and then pour the now mycelium rich water back into whatever was left of your jar of sterilized water. Use the jar lid to hold back the grains themselves from pouring out. You now have a full quart of highly concentrated mycelium water that can then be used as is, or diluted two or three times again, and used to fill syringes. Because the grains were shaken first, the mycelium is ripped into shreds and will be sucked through even small needles easily, although larger needles always work better for this. Remember, mycelium grows poorly in water unless under constant stir which oxygenates it. With grains, they colonize in two weeks or less because oxygen is throughout the jar in the spaces between the kernels. LIQUID CULTURE - A glovebox is not advanced equipment. One can be made free with stuff around the house, so there's no need for people to work in open air or fecal and mold infested bathrooms and kitchens. There is also no way to generate 100 full syringes of liquid mycelium in very small pieces within two weeks from injecting spores into honey or karo. I'm sure if people blindly used the grain method I described above, many would still have problems too, because they're inserting unproved and possibly contaminated spore solution into grains, which also isn't proper mycological technique. However, agar can easily be poured in a glovebox, and the Petri dishes used to isolate healthy mushroom mycelium away from any contaminants in less time than it takes to even know if a karo LC is contaminated or not. That agar wedge can then be used to inoculate the quart(or pint) jar of grains, that can then be turned into at least 100 syringes, or used for g2g transfer to get ten jars the old standard way. In addition, after the water is poured out of the grain jar, it can be placed back on the shelf to re-colonize, and the process can be repeated again. I just strongly feel new growers are doing themselves a disservice when they simply inject spores into honey water and then sit there waiting for something to happen. At the very least, inject directly to grains so you can visually inspect the process. Perhaps Agar's lids with injection ports will help those who have never used grains to get off to a good start.”

putting spores to LC as opposed to grain has the same benefits as Agar, especially when looking for strong genetics in say Cordyceps for example. They can then be isolated on Agar without wasting grain on finding the best genetics.

Great question! I like the metaphor. I think one of the main things they like about the poop is all the microbial life it harbors. Chytrids, bacteria, protozoa... the stomachs of grazing animals are quite fascinating ecosystems. This is why, in my experience, pasteurization is so much more beneficial than sterilization, and why dung lovers don't respond well to the manure of grain-fed livestock. I think it's less the grains and grasses they're after, and more the banquet afforded by the various biochemical products of all that microbial activity. It's the poop within the poop!

I like this guy, and he makes good videos, but all you really need is water and a source of glucose. Some of the things he suggests, like nutritional yeast, may hasten colonization of your liquid culture. However, it may also potentially increase your tam rate by enhancing bacteria survival and stimulating its growth. I find its best to keep it simple, by using only water and a source of glucose. I prefer a mixture of ELME (Extra Light Malt Extract) and raw unprocessed sugar (my preference is turbinado sugar). This helps to lower contaminations from outpacing your mycelial growth. I do, however, like his suggestion of adding a bit of what you plan on feeding the mycelium to the LC, as it seems to "train" the fungi to know ahead of time what its going to feed on, instead of having to adapt to its next food source. This helps hasten the colonization of your grains which can not only save a bit of time, but also help the mycelium outpace any contaminants it may meet during inoculation or endospores hidden within poorly prepared grains. Btw, that jar of "Donkey Shit" had me rolling with laughter 🤣

@@TheDarkArtist66 I would suggest against peptone. It only speeds up the LC by like an average of 2 days. Its much like yeast in application. Many add both peptone and yeast to "supercharge" the LC broth. However, in my experience it doesnt hasten growth any more than one of those additives alone. Personally, I would rather wait the extra 2 days to lessen my probability my jar tams out. If its one thing this hobby has taught me over the last 2 decades is patience is a virtue. Id rather wait 2 days extra then lose out on an entire batch of LC, and the grains, sub, bags, money, time, effort, et al that follow. In the long run, I end up with more fruit due to no loss, and only had to wait 2 extra days for it

@@_fungaia The video is quite interesting, but there is a problem when removing hot jars after sterilization and tightening the lids. In the syringe filter, a lot of condensation forms if it is not dried under a stream of hot air. We get сontamination has been confirmed, through experience. I look for a lot of information about liquid cultures, and I keep track of new materials on this topic and communicate with experts. I also conduct my own experiments. I want to confirm that the shelf life of such crops is more than 2 years. As for the composition, I use the ingredients that are convenient for me And what the mycelium should process in the future. In short, the base is a decoction of sprouted wheat (3 days after it has been in water for 1 day), straw broth (proportion according to the colour of the tea), a decoction of wood chips, 2 tablespoons of honey, сhloramphenicol tablet - 250 ml (in my case, it is half a tablet per 3 litres of liquid. All my cultures were kept indoors at room temperature. Once a month, or sometimes every 3 months, I put them on a magnetic stirrer to break up and oxygenate them. I like this method of preservation very much, and recently I have been inspecting the cultures, taking samples from the jar and also taking a syringe that I have been using since the jar was created. I sowed them immediately on a grain bag, and they are growing well. (My crops are all oysters and wood-destroying mushrooms) I like people who share information, greetings from Ukraine

For water choice: I completely agree with Paul's assessment as far as avoiding town tap water. I ran an experiment where I produced two LC's in mini jars using 5ml of viable LC each, one with distilled water and one with tap water as solvent for corn syrup. I had a negative control where no syrup was added to the water (spores still added). Results: Tap water's growth was hindered by about 1.5-2 days. This difference is negligible and hard to notice after growth starts to take off exponentially. *The genetics of your specific variety play a huge role here too, as some mycelium is more tam resistant than others*

I've been running pints 90 minutes in an instapot for a while, I've had random contamination I usually see on a single grain in a spawn jar. I put a thermometer in a jar as soon as it came out last time and I was only at 220. What's your opinion on time and temperature I would be aiming for ?
@_fungaia
7 ай бұрын
Instant Pot supposedly gets up to 240, which is plenty for the vast majority of pathogens. The second you vent the steam, the temp will drop rapidly, so the thermometer probably isn't giving an accurate reading. You can always up it to 2 hours if you really think that's the issue. My guess is a lid filter failure is as likely as inadequate sterilization. I haven't used an instant pot, though I want to try one out for one of my next videos. The only other thing I wonder about is if it properly vents the air from the pressure cooker before building steam. Only pure steam will approach the adequate temperatures at maximum operating pressure.

If I understand correctly you may be able to take a small portion of the interior of the lions mane, put it in an agar plate and add a few drops of clean water and it should begin to grow mycelium. Then based off other fungaia videos you can then take that mycelium agar and put it in a jar with sterile sugar, water and other ingredients like in this video and then blend it and that will make your liquid culture. If you check out his original liquid culture video and other videos on how to regrow dehydrated mushrooms it's definitely possible.
