From Stalled to Thriving: Lion's Mane Mushroom Liquid Culture Experiment

[@feedvid]

It is great to see folks doing experiments. Thanks! There is too much bs info that people just pass around without verifying or testing.

[@SporenSprout]

Thank you for watching! 🙏

Agreed! Like *IDENTIFICATION SKILLS* --as viewers, *WE-PEOPLE* NEED TO BE *cautious* AS I HAVE FOUND; -A FEW TIMES- THE *_WRONG MUSHROOM_* IDENTIFIED

Try adding (0.1 mg/mL) of both an amino acid complex and a b-vitamin complex to your LC. My liquid cultures go from normal healthy mycelium on the bottom to thick vigorous mycelium growing on the surface of the water. The comparison is night and day. Exact recipe if you're curious: - 250g Distilled Water (Base) - 5g Manuka Honey (2% Solution) - 5g Organic Honey (2% Solution) - 425mg Bac. Peptone (1.7 mg/mL) - 25mg B-Complex (0.1 mg/mL) - 25mg Amino Complex (0.1 mg/mL) - 5mL Culture/Spore Syringe

I’ll have to try that! Thanks for the advice!

[@Gabi-he6rw]

Do you also have to adjust the PH level?

​@@ScottWConvid19 i think nutritional or Brewer's Yeast provides enough nutrients

Love all these vids. Only been growing about a year or so. Got a spare grow bed in garden. Wondered how or if possible i could get some oyster or pioppino growing down there. I pasteurized some straw. Added some pioppino spawn and covered. Been to check today. Its started its work but i have a few tiny spots of mould and it seems the chuffing ants have taken a liking to it now. All around the sides. Is there anything better suited for a grow bed or something im missing. Dont want to use a dung loving mush.

[@SporenSprout]

It’s better to use sawdust spawn for outdoor beds instead of grain spawn. The bugs really love the grain.

@@SporenSprout thanks spore. I will give this a test run

[@bowlofsoup7721]

Nice video, love lion's Mane. Just one question, could you substitute honey with another sugar?

[@SporenSprout]

Yes you could use corn syrup or maple syrup too

[@bowlofsoup7721]

@@SporenSprout Okay, thank you for the alternatives.

Hi, good video as always. Please tell me, can the mycelium of cordyceps grow on the bottom of the jar and on the surface of the water pieces of mycelium with beautiful white fluff on them? After the magnetic stirrer, everything is homogeneous, it does not look like contamination. In five years, I grew many different fungi, but the entire mycelium developed underwater.

[@SporenSprout]

Yes that’s normal for cordyceps to grow on surface and below.

[@jordnb449]

how do you test for medicinal compounds

[@V-gn1]

How to make spawn and how to cultivate split gills mushroom, can u share me in comment

[@flaviog.7628]

What's your favourite LC recipe?

[@SporenSprout]

I like using honey

[@Flaime69]

Is a stall jar still okay to use for LC? I have 2 and I'm anxious about messing with them because it's my first time ever trying to make LC

[@SporenSprout]

Yes it’s still fine to use, it is just dormant until you give it new nutrients.

[@jeezeusrockerfella2123]

Hey you seem to know what you're doing but I have to say, it's a but painful to watch you struggle to extract your lc in this way, this I how used to do it a long time ago so I know how frustrating it is. Do yourself a favour and get some temp resistant silicone tubing, Female syringe connectors, and some Male syringes caps, drill a hole in your lids to feed the tubing down to the bottom of your jars, cut the bottoms at a angle, rtx around the tube at the point of contact with the lid, attach the connector and lid and boom.. now you just need to proceed with business as usual but instead having to tip the jars like that, you just remove the cap, attach your syringe and draw up your lc with ease. A bonus of this beyond the ease of it is that if you allow your myc to settle at the bottom of your jars, then when you extract some, you extract a much higher ratio of myc and less nutrient broth, so you xCC of lc is much thicker and your bags will colonise much faster. And in doing so I've found that the remaining lc continues to grow into the real estate you've freed up.

[@SporenSprout]

@@jeezeusrockerfella2123 Yeah I have already done that and took it a step further here is the video: Peristaltic Pump System kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH65c3-MaqiXrtE Also I wasn’t extracting mycelium, I was extracting the liquid only.
