when to clone ? [young = better]

The other pictures show the spore shadow it left in the tank. Spores all over the casing tub, casing, etc. All in one direction, a 'shadow'. This would probably have made a print an inch thick.

"one should take a tissue sample from a young mushroom that is still vigorously growing"
Agreed. Never let a mushroom mature fully that you intend to clone.

DOH!!! NOW you tell me. I have six jar of karo-clone vigorously growing from the first two PE to mature on my cakes! Sigh. Young ones eh? Well, I'm gonna go shoot up some freshly PC'd (yesterday) BRF jars with a sample of this material and see what happens.
Hey Rodger, how long can you keep a clone master? I plan on moving it to agar in the next month or two, but the original clones are in karo. If this strain does work out well, I want to be able to keep it going indefinately. Suggestions?

congrats on your biggun. how did you make the casing. if you move up to straw i bet you get a lot more just like it.
It is 2 PF cakes on straw, cased with vermiculite. EDIT:I bet if I did isolation by cloning I would have more consistant results like this on straw. Right now I get 6-7 large shrooms and dozens of aborts. I hate picking them out of the casing.
in my opinion one should take a tissue sample from a young mushroom that is still vigorously growing, perhaps right before or after the veil breaks. Nice fattie though.
I agree, though I have always had success with both. I intended to do it early, but never got around to it.
Nice fruit...Strain?
It is from a print that I made from a fresh shroom from the store around the corner. I dont know the strain. It is the same strain I used in the time-lapse series (also in my avitar).
Nice fruit, bra. I hope to see more projects from ya.
Thanks. I dont know if it survived the transition, but I made some time-lapse films, anaglyphs, and inoculated two rolls of toilet paper with this strain. These might still be floating around the FUNGI forum.
