@@Mycophilia another cool one would be Chicken Tek start out like you're going to grow some popcorn tek and then if the batch goes sour I just dumped it out here to the garden to the chickens and although it's half inoculated they eat it anyways. I think this could be scaled up pretty big to include cows horses chickens anything. I can just imagine walking out over my yard and then having boomers here and there all over the place.

[@cameroncolfack7623]

I ran an experiment with colloidal silver on agar plates and found that if starting with mycelium, colloidal silver kills contamination fantastic! Without hurting the mycelium! Spores have a possibility of dying. But I found this to work just as good as sterilization :) would love to see a video on this

Great info. I recently tried a new spores vendor and was excited to see more spores floating around. Now I know a bit more and will continue learning. Thanks for the info. We always get valuable content from you.

Your videos are very helpful, especially for us beginners

[@Lemonz1989]

Spores are also very robust, even when they are degraded. I had a spore syringe once that I had bought from one of the larger companies; completely clear liquid. I kept it for years in the fridge and it still worked. I checked under the microscope to see the density of the spores after maybe 4 years, and found maybe 3 or 4 spores. All the others had germinated and there were mycelium strands all over. I tried inoculating popcorn with it, and it worked perfectly. Saw growth after a week or so.

[@Mycophilia]

In this case most of the spores had already germinated to mycelium, and thus your syringe had essentially become a medium for long-term water storage. They can last for decades this way. Not the spores, but the mycelium.

[@Lemonz1989]

@@Mycophilia It’s really cool that this is possible 😊

I'll never forget an impulse purchase of 10 spore syringes from a friend of a friend.. absolutely nothing came from any of them. Sure, it could have been me, but... it wasn't.

I got 2 LC’s and I got 0/20 cc’s. I still have some MSS leftover tho so this video is like perfect timing

[@Primitivemycology]

Great show man. For real on swabs, I agree they should be very light. I swab so light it looks like salt and pepper. The dark loaded ones are from a heavy hand and often contain gill tissue or bacteria. Sometimes when I want multiple di-mon pairs I will drop a dikaryon agar chunk in a jar and snip off a swab end on top and let em do their thing for a pheno hunt. This don't work with loaded swabs that were jammed in the gills like a screwdriver

[@Primitivemycology]

Let me clarify I don't put the swab tip in til 10 percent growth from the dikaryon so the new spores contact the expanding dikaryon and have a chance to pair with it.

[@Ahzael777]

👏👏👏 Thanks Sage 🇧🇷✌️

[@Copernic1593-d4l]

Hi, complete noob here, thank you for these videos. Will you also do one on inoculation and agar work? It's clear enough it's better to inoculate spore syringes to agar first unless these are yours and fresh, and it would be great to see you explaining just that, syringes and prints, clear and simple as you do, in the SAB!

[@Mycophilia]

Absolutely!

[@bunnyhop3283]

Beginner here. I have bought soooo much equipment including spore syringes with zero luck. I recently put Gt's and Tsu to Lc to agar and to grains The lc looks fuzz with dark spots floating around and agar, I have no idea what I'm seeing! As much as I love your videos the problem is usually when I need help it's immediately. ✌️🍁

No problem 👍

[@hansdampf2284]

It’s really getting ridiculous. People who always ordered spore syringes and do their own for the first time are going to think something is wrong with their syringes and don’t work. I usually only put 1/8 of a spore print into a syringe and it’s perfectly fine. The water is basically clear, you can maybe see some spore clumps if you look very closely. Anything more just increases the chance for contamination.

[@jcfishclenney]

It's really about finding a good vendor.

[@Mycophilia]

[@christopherleubner6633]

Less is more for spore juice. One spore print can make 2000ml of potent spore juice.

I haven't heard anything about the age of spores. As a matter of fact I heard that year old spores work just fine.

[@Mycophilia]

A year is nothing, but bad storage will hurt the virility greatly. On average, expect the virility of your spores to go down by about 50% per year.

[@masongates4530]

Mush love

[@devilsadvocate1338]

I just made a spore syringe with a print i made 5 years ago. Month and a half and i have 3 shoe boxes full of shroomies. On the 4th flush now. Never have i had problems with spore syringes and thats all ive ever used. I make my spore syringes black. 😂

[@Mycophilia]

Black syringes certainly can work as I state in the video, it’s just wholly unnecessary and you would lessen chances of potential contamination by using less to no detriment. But it certainly can work, but it doesn’t work because it’s a thick syringe but largely due to other factors as explained in the video.

[@devilsadvocate1338]

@Mycophilia yeah i know it's over kill 😄

[@EricCheetoh]

Where did u get the print from...cow dung?

[@Moeron86]

A few of the most popular spore suppliers out there send fake/very old syringes to expand their profits. They look packed with spores but are just black dust that will never germinate. I wont name names but we all know the places im talking about.

[@DANNY-iy5fz]

Hey man i joined the discord to send some of my agar plates to be examined but i don't have permission to chat can u help me out ?

[@Mycophilia]

read the rules

[@gr3vans1]

do you make spore syringe from swabs? Also, once introduced to water your spore quantity/ density is fixed, right?

[@Mycophilia]

I don’t know what you mean by the fixed part but no I do not. I go to agar with swabs.

I find they last at least a couple of years in the fridge.

You should ideally not have any gobs before inoculating

[@williamfabuien1125]

Stop using spores it is too damn easy to make a clean healthy LC that is weeks further then any damn spore mistake you are attempting.

LC is for noobs and commercial growers. Rarely anything in between.
