If you have a mushroom you want to get spores from, wet the cap with a small paintbrush and water, remove the stem and place the cap on a piece of paper or some foil that you have wiped down with rubbing alcohol. Cover with a plastic tub and wait 2 to 24 hours, now you'll have more spores than you'll ever need

This video is really interesting. I’m a new and very amateur mycologist. I’ve just started working with agar and sterilized grain. Cordycepts was very helpful to me 20+ years ago when I was recovering from Pertussis. I’ve just recently been putting my agar grown mycelium to sterilized, hydrated popcorn. Not much activity yet. These jars of popcorn had no activity after 4 weeks from inoculation with a spore syringe, so I just tried inoculating some of them with mycelium from agar. I’m wondering if my popcorn isn’t hydrated enough. But, I’m going to wait a week or so to see what happens. And, I just got 25 pounds of organic rye berries to work with. Impossible to find locally, but easy on the internets. Mostly just using mason jars so far. Your sterile technique was really interesting. I’m currently using oven tech for my sterile environment (thanks, Philly Golden Teacher). But considering building a low cost laminar flow hood (thanks to Willy Myco) . I’ve currently got a bunch of agar dishes going, with several different spores. And I’ve got some grain spawn going, from a couple of different cultures. And a couple of tubs colonizing. I’m just trying several different things, to see what works for me. This video has given me several new ideas. So thanks.😊

After I graduate (Biochemistry), I never get to use my lab skill anywhere (I'm now working in a canned food company). I have always wanted to do farming/gardening, grow trees, grow my own food but also selling them (u know working but feel just like daily routine). I wish I could work somewhere like this, since I like lab work (I still miss them so much) and get to see things grow day by day. What you do is sooo cool! This is my dream job. Hope that one day I might get to this point (as rn I only grow cactus 😄)

1. Probably had a bunch of colonized plates laying around, might as well use them to colonize grain at some point. 2. Instead of wasting money daily on a mask, just hold your breath or breathe slowly and not worry that much about contamination because the flow hood is taking care of everything. Masks cost money and free is better especially when you already have a huge success rate and virtually no contaminations to begin with.

Yeah that brings back some memories, making a glovebox from a clear tub with Playtex gloves taped on, then I found out about something called a Shmovbox, which was just a large clear garbage bag taped over a home hepafilter air cleaner. You just load up the bag with your syringes, agar, jars and spawn, cut two small holes for your arms, turn on the air cleaner which inflates the bag with clean air, mist the inside with a little iso alky and do your work, kind of a ghetto laminar flow hood/glove box combo (and if you recognize that reference we may have a hobby in common, lol). After a while I got my sterile techniques down to the point where I didn't even need the Shmovebox, just used a spare room, all the windows taped to eliminate outside air, same with floor vents. Then, as weird as it sounds, once everything was staged and ready, I'd jump in the shower, use anti-bacterial soap (kept my hair in under a shower cap), then go directly from the shower to the clean room naked, lol, yeah like I said sounds weird, BUT it was just the best way I could think of to avoid bringing any contams into the process.
