Rhizomorphic Transfer | Agar to Spawn Bag

[@luciferslettuce]

I just done 8 different varieties, agar transfers are the only way to isolate the dominant genetics you want. Thanks for sharing, this will help a lot of beginners!

[@BoomerShroomer]

Thank you! I’m still trying to learn the best strings to transfer.

[@JT-ck1sg]

I just started Agar work myself. And the speed in which the spawn bag has colonized is absolutely incredible. I don't think I could go back to just innoculating with mss. It's been 2 weeks since transferring Agar to spawn bag and almost fully colonized.

[@LarsLarsen77]

You gotta try liquid culture. You can go from injecting the bag to putting mushrooms in your mouth in 30 days @@JT-ck1sg

[@DEeMONsworld]

Rhizo or tomentose, it makes no difference as far as potency all cubes have both. The difference is rhizo grows faster because it is looking for nutrients. Tomentose is happy to stay put because it is finding lots of nutrients. One can become the other if conditions are right. Don't get caught up in the importance of rhizo, it grows faster, that's it. You can prove this yourself in experiments

Iron could do it, I think, if a fabric or a paper sheet is put between the iron surface and the plastic.

[@matthewseven2143]

So happy you did this episode; was wondering what to do when agar was ready. Ty 🙂🍄

[@BoomerShroomer]

Sweet! Just transfer to grain!

[@RickSkunk]

How did it go? I have 6 full agar plates to transfer to grain bags

[@argess98]

I love the way you keep everything simple. Your videos have helped me alot. Thank you

Wow, thanks!

[@kellyroup4262]

Ryzomorohic and tomentos are from the same sample but the ryzomorohic is the more solid branching? Don't want to look dumb here but it's the only way to learn. You are an excellent teacher by the way! Lol I e learned quite a bit from your vids.

[@JLuk98]

So do you keep the original dish you transferred from and let it keep going?

[@sherrypayton6871]

I’d always be interested in seeing a Time-lapse for anything that you do. I don’t see any sports syringes on here. Do you always use agar?

[@johnadair6108]

[@metamike2012]

More creators should use time laps. Nice touch !

[@theguitarden6920]

How do you tell the difference between the desired mycelium and any number of other moulds and things that may grow?

[@c.odubhlaoich2948]

Mold and bacteria look different in color and consistency, and they all grow faster than mycelium too so if you have a contam that still looks like it could be mycelium, it will still grow much quicker.

[@methylene5]

Which type of spray are you using, H2O2 or alcohol, etc?

[@bradxwx]

I've learned so much from you and Willy. Thx so much!

[@summersummer1232]

Is this step necessary to cut out a small piece and transfer to a new agar dish at 1:05? What will happen if I just cut out everything into small pieces with a diversified genetics and large quantity, and then transfer to a spawn bag?

[@bobbobby2978]

Fyi, tomintose usually happens when it has more nutrient rich food. When it doesn't, it streches further to look for it, and that is ribomorphic.

[@yusuke502]

is agar to agar transfer better than spore to agar? I'm just curious which one is better.

[@TotallyNotillegal]

Rhizo has no bearing on fruits, yield, potency etc. Just looks cool

how long does the mycelium in the agar keep?

Grain first then bulk.

For the spore prints in aluminum foil, do you refrigerate those or keep them at room temperature?

Ive been keeping them at room temp. They are in a drawer in my office.

[@stephen26448]

Why do spore prints to regrow a mushroom versus a culture of a mushroom to regrow a mushroom

They both grow.

[@whincorbin1553]

What about a bunch of water droplets inside on top

[@BoomerShroomer]

Are they on top of the mycelium growth or condensation on the top of the petri dish?

[@whincorbin1553]

@@BoomerShroomer thanks for reply! Its condensating on ceiling of petri dish but seems to be slowing in growth? Used 3 micron micropore tape was all pearly and clean bright white for a while and looks like slowely spreading through agar now looks like the mycellium might be urinating and possibly using energy to grow into agar as its dulled a bit in color and lost its beautiful white fur somewhat? i tipped it to try and drain to no avail so a tiny bit of puddling on agar happened but that seemed to condensate back to the ceiling of jar by next day idk if its cause i used cheap agar maybe why its slow to spread out been like a month lol in constant light seems to be alive slowely spreading though no green at all or grey mold hair the drops seem to stay on ceiling of petri dish so idk lol its surely not a thick sample like yours i might have to try to go to another petri with a sample of what little mycelium i got from it i guess

[@TruthNBible]

Flow hood? Gloves?

[@RickSkunk]

What if I don’t have anything to heat snd seal bag? Do I just fold and duck tape?

[@BoomerShroomer]

Yep, fold it over and tape it up.

[@nicinightbird]

You can use a hair straightener if you cover the bag with a piece of computer paper first. (Dont put the straightener directly on the plastic). Theres a guy on youtube who did it if you search it lmfao

[@RickSkunk]

If my agar plates are filled 3 weeks in and don’t need yet , should I put in fridge?

[@BoomerShroomer]

I put them in the basement. You could put them in the fridge but then you have to let them come back to room temp before you use them. Just a cool place will be fine.

[@timsadowski7900]

Hi! Does one have to add all 8 wedges to one bag or can one put in two or three wedges in a bag? Putting the rest in multiple bags. Thanks!

[@BoomerShroomer]

Yep you could put a couple in one and a couple in another. Just will take them longer to colonize.

[@roundtrip385]

But once you transfer I start to see black spots on my agar from contamination. Is there a safer way?

[@gabriellopescwb]

Which size of petri dishes do u recommend?

[@BoomerShroomer]

100 mm/15 mm

[@troybutler7992]

Do you need a vacuum sealer?

No, you need a bag sealer or you can tape the top too.

[@BoomerShroomer]

A few months depending on environment.

How long will the rhyzomorphic mycelium keep?

It will continue to grow and grow.. usually a few months and then they start to bruise. I would recommend using them as soon as they are fully colonized.

When do you pop open the GE patch? or is the latent air inside the bag enough after inoculating?

@@BoomerShroomer I kind of over complicated the question, but yes.. When do you take the seal off of the patch for gas exchange.. Right after inoculation, or do you let the mycelium get established.

Can I get it from supermarket? Thank you so much in advance

I would recommend buying a few plates from tip of the cap and just leaving them out in the open. I promise mold will find them and grow.

[@lucidchem]

as long as you sterilize everything, you should be good-nothing wrong with it, especially when she's only using the knife to manipulate the agar.

[@donderfoil]

I see that you place the agar "mycelium side" facing down on the new plate. Is there a specific reason or does it grow better? My agar seems to have uneven growth, but no contamination. Could the placement differ the results vs placing it mycelium side up

[@KingSezam]

It grows faster because the mycelium covered side has direct contact with the new agar and can directly grow on that.
