I work with almost the same setup, but I insert an sterilized automatic syringue in the big jar through a silicon tube and a needle. The grain jars have an injection port, so I can inoculate hundreds of jars in minutes without opening them, saving time and possible contamination. Also, I seal the bags before sterilization, and do the same as before through an injection port.

@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Also, I'm working with that setup to inoculate logs in the forest in a most sterile and fast way than the traditional, with only a battery drill and a peen hammer. With the help of two friends, one drills narrow but deep holes in the log or tree, another insert the syringue and inoculats it, and the third one only needs to close the hole with the peen hammer, like when you make a rivet. This way, there is no need to drill big holes and fill them with spawn, or using wax or stoppers to seal it. But I'm still not sure about it's viability.

@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi that’s a good idea. I think the reason molasses works well for me is the fact that mushrooms love sulfur and some sugars . Now I’m going to try your method. I’ve never tried honey but it makes sense honey is anti bacterial . I wonder if when I hydrate the honey more, will it lessen the anti bacterial strength. My bees take a long time getting the honey to the exact hydration so it won’t mold . This is very interesting maybe I’ll add a touch of organic sulfur.

I finally had success with inoculation of Morchella around my new house. I found one variable that allowed almost 100% success. All the other spots I tried did not fruit. There’s something that everyone sees every time they hunt Morels but they never take note of it. That’s my secret. 3 years straight with success. It’s not really how you make your spore slurry or grow your mycelium but rather, it’s where you put it that matters!

Hi Gary I am starting to use these media extractor bottle setups and have a question- at 19:00 in you take OFF the lid to re sterilize- why?? Isn't the point of these lids to have to NEVER take the lid off? Are you concerned about the liquid in that extraction tube sitting there? I am wondering because when I PC my bottles with these lids on (and not screwed TIGHT just loosely on) that tube will fill up, and I am wondering if I should be concerned with that tube sitting full like that long term?

Im going to do a followup video on these after a few years use - I took the cap off to clean it thoroughly so I could run another batch through it - they get clogged with mycelium over time and it’s better to stay ahead and keep it clean before it gets plugged. Sitting full shouldn’t effect it as long as it was sterilized properly 👍

The contamination probably occurred from poor technique by me during inoculation of the culture into the LC (yeast or bacteria from my skin probably dropping into the vessel - just takes one viable cell to enter the bottle and multiply exponentially). The best way to find out where or when is to leave out blanks or let the LC rest at room temp for a few days before inoculating. It should remain clear if it’s sterile and will plate clean. The original culture was clean because the next round worked fine. There is always human error in mycology however small or rare, which requires a lot of patience and monitoring and trial and error 👍🏻 MUSHLOVE

I would love to hear a follow-up review or comment! Are you still using the media extractor? Also, after the jar is done, is it easy to sanitize and clean the tubing?

more mycelium = faster colonization but yes you can use a lot less and get results

Gary, I would love to see a video of recovering a culture which is contaminated into pure mycelium with QC to prove it. We ran into some recent issues and lost a bunch of cultures which we'll need to re-purchase or somehow recover via plating and maybe antibiotic cleansing - your thoughts on this are really greatly appreciated! Mush love

Neo Geo There are many methods for recovering contaminated mycelium - I prefer to just restart with fresh cultures as it introduces lots of potential to spread unwanted contaminants. I do not like using antibiotics for many reasons but mostly because it is unnecessary with proper techniques. This raises the importance of backup stock cultures 👍🏻

A lot of times it appears as the mycelium has over taken contam but often times it will comeback down the road in the process. It hasn't happened every time but enough that I agree with Gary... I prefer to not wait it out and possibly lose it. I would start over and keep that sample too if you want to see how it fairs. But in my experience somehow it has a way of returning.

Back with another question for my Fungi Guru😊 Question number one when pouring agar into Petri dishes I'm assuming the steam on the lid is from my pouring it in too hot and I should let it cool more unfortunately I already started the process so I just turn the lids upside down for about 10 minutes and then flip them over. What negative effect does the moisture have inside the Petri dishes? Second question and I'm sure you probably made a video of it already if so please just tell me the name and I'll go watch it LOL but the question was what is liquid culture made from and why can you store it so much longer than agar Petri dishes

Condensation isn’t a huge deal you can let them dry out in front of a hood - the LC is made from honey and water 👍 It’s a 3d matrix compared to a 2d plate so sustains longer growth

Great demo of the extractor. Tried to order one but they are out of stock "bummer" Also can you show how you make the blood agar for your QC plates?

Thanks for watching! I think they take pre-orders on their site : ) Also, we purchase our QC plates from hardy diagnostics (that way they are third party tested and certified) but they are made the same way as any other media - MUSHLOVE
