How To Make Liquid Culture From A Spore Syringe. Below you will find some general 101 information about mycology. It will suck air and keep you from loosing your whole spore syringe in the vacuum.
All you really need is 2 compatible spores out of the billions that are in your syringe. In a few days it will be ready to inject into any substrate jar or spawn bag. Because once mycelium starts developing, it keeps developing.
What i’m wonder is, can i do the same process (distilled water, karos light corn syrup, masons jar w/ breathing hole and rtv resealable injection point lid, pressure cooked and sterilized) starting of with a spore syringe.
You could think of liquid culture as mycelium floating in a nutrient broth. Because once mycelium starts developing, it keeps developing. Hydration of spores is an important process before mushroom breeding can begin, because dry spores are very unlikely to germinate. Attach sterile needle provided, flame sterilize, then inject 2cc of culture into a jar or bag of sterilized grain or substrate using a reusable injection port.
