Awesome to learn about different species with this tech. I tried a hot water extraction from a spent coir-lover cake (that had poor fruiting genetics), but I got minimal umami (as expected). Your grass-lover genetics are coming along very nicely!

[@ddsherds87]

I've read somewhere of a Tek for growing truffles. Where instead of putting just grain they " lasagna layer" grain and coir and put a small layer of dried vermiculite on the bottom just for excess moisture. Pressure cook that for 1.5 hours at 15 psi and inoculate just like a regular grain jar. Have you tried or heard if that's better than just grain

[@Mycophilia]

Spawning to bulk will yield more truffles than just grain, but also takes up more space. I have lots of videos on that already on the sclerotia playlist :) Just mix with coir for more truffles, no need for layering or any of that.

[@ddsherds87]

@@Mycophilia I catch your drift. I was referring to just leaving it in the jar not transferring

[@Mycophilia]

Ahh gotcha. You can do that also, that’s essentially an all in one grow bag (or tub in this case). I still would not however bother layering, or especially adding a bottom layer of vermiculite.

[@ANJH1106]

[@flnk5478]

Hello friend, maybe you’ll see this maybe not. I harvested a mushroom from a local field that my family works at. I put it on tinfoil and I have this purple dust which I believe is the spores. What do I do next? If I can use some home products or local store products to start the growth? Thank you. Maybe if you have a video from spore to harvest with at home products… by the way I live in Florida and this is a cow dung fruit.

[@Mycophilia]

Put it on agar and get some clean growth. Then transfer to grain. If you are serious and would like my help, then email me for the details of my mentorship program here: [e-mail] This is a very big question as you are basically starting from zero.

How do you harvest/separate the mycelium from the grain? Or do you not need to? I’m new.

[@abstractlizard9377]

Nice Video, Sage. Have you thought about doing a video about using straw in leu of woodchips for woodlovers? Or is your local climate not quite right to bother with woodlovers except for maybe the ones with the uniquely-shaped cystidia? Also, is it only the Sempervivs that are good for Myceliated Grain; would maybe Hoogs or Zaps work too? Keep up the good work.

[@Mycophilia]

I live in a perfect climate for cold wood lovers (they grow wild here), but I have not had a chance to experiment with them yet. I keep telling myself every year but busy with the indoor stuff always 😊 Zaps are not nearly as good as semps, and there isn’t enough data on hoogs. It would be interesting to see how they stack up.

[@Mycophilia]

No as there won’t be enough FAE. It can be done though, but not ideal at all.

[@RiverEurton]

If you put only the blue mycelium on agar would there be a difference? Would its higher concentration, speed growth or increase the concentration in the fruits? And if this is true would it be smarter to do genetic agar work only with the most potent, concentrated mycelium?

[@Mycophilia]

No I wouldn’t say so, as the blue is a result of some disturbance.

[@MarkS-gm3sf]

Hello, Mr. Mycophilia. I am new to this stuff, and I'm already a little confused just a few minutes into this video. I heard that truffles are really expensive, in large part, due to the fact that they are difficult to grow. Everything that I read about them says that they need trees to grow, but, now, I'm seeing you claiming to grow them in jars. Did you figure out some kind of breakthrough? Am I missing something?

Basically, you will be able to get the goods with far less work. You won’t get fruits but you will get comparable flavonoids over a similar period.

[@_.-AAA-._]

@Mycophilia regarding spore selection from a print, do you know if the selection point matters regarding genetics? As in, if I select the outer part of the ring, vs the inner, vs the middle, etc. Do the genetics from spores from different flushes matter?

[@Mycophilia]

No, but the fruits you take prints from can matter. Generally, you should take prints of the types of fruits you want more from. As most people are working with domesticated varieties, it doesn’t matter too much, but personally I have found a difference.
