Yeah, I agree, absolutely me point too with the "tea"..............as I see it that's your tea........definitely worth a try.......

 

 

FUCK! I forgot to do woodlover agar..

Oh they love me too, it's a symbiotic relationship.

One of my corumba brazil fruits from my other topic is a giant beast, so in wanting to clone him I need some fresh agar and what better chance than now to try a Catattack agar tek? 

 

I sort of overfilled this flask, but I haven't had issues with overflowing in a long time.

This is Telephone brand agar, nutrition is brown and black rice flour (hence the color), additives are a pinch of Hippie's super cake formula

I'm off tomorrow and will no doubt be fiddling more myself. I have an organic food store close by that stocks agar for me..........I gotta get over there actually. The local Ag store is putting on a mushroom workshop soon too.............I don't think I can stay away from it................

 

Man I love this stuff............

Let's get it done son!

 

Cloning works! Here's proof:

 

 

 

Last minute PE clone I took from a big 'en, worked on and spawned, 8+ grams cracker dry.

It's so hard for me to remain quiet at mushroom classes/workshops. I've gotten better at not interrupting unless I hear something really egregious.

I found the post where I 'yanked' the fruit from:

Hey all. We were discussing this over in chat last night but I came here to get more opinions.

I took a tissue sample from a store bought portabello and here's what it looks like now
It's in the center and the closest growth to it has a color tint so that's a no go but both other patches look like healthy mycelium. I transferred from the bottom patch and looks to be growing today

Here's a reference for bellas on agar from the shroomery

[Ferather]

Portobello are secondary decomposers, just in-case that has not been mentioned.

[Ferather]

Try some compost juice into your agar. Not 100% if that will work, but it should carry small units.

[Microbe]

So I just had an epiphany, instead of adding "catattives" I'm going to try using the left over water from my grain soak as my agar water. The soak contains all of my future subs in small amounts, so a no-brainer so to speak.

This works excellent but lower your 'ose' nute slightly. Another thing you should try is making a LC with this water. Cant see the myc clearly but you all LC's needed tested anyway. I would hit a test jar, allow to colonize, shake, let recover, then milk it. Keep LC's as your primary working master. Better then inoculating large quantity of jars with agar plugs.

Why not just use the lc for all the jars? I know many have huge success using LC's but just because a single test jar came out clean, doesnt mean the entire lc is clean. The method i mentioned will eventually catch the contam that may be in the lc. For simple conversation lets say you draw all your LC's into 10 syringes, 1 or more could harbor a contaminate or it may not.

Another thing you can do, is germinate spores inside grain steep water just toss in a little activated charcoal if you like. Not practical because it still needs to be tested but none the less another use for steep water.

You can also dunk colonized cakes or in my case bulk subs. I wouldnt do this until later flushes, but it will put back nutes into the substrate. If you dont dunk put in a spray bottle and spray your subs. I think this is better then a dextrose dunk.

Although you said agar, this is relevant to the secondary uses of grain steep water.

Honestly I don't understand why anyone makes traditional LC when one can just milk healthy colonized grain.
