@@AndreaDingbatt Definitely looking at something a little more refined for the nutrients. Just happened to have this powder on hand, to see if it'll be successful or not. 🍄

@@AndreaDingbatt lol! I'm hoping to find that it is a possibility with Amanitas too. Just have to get a little more of a green thumb 🌱 Thanks for the support! 🍄

You could also just see what happens if there isn't a mycorrhizal relationship at all. Obviously it grows on agar which is dead. Morels are also mycorrhizal but they can fruit in culture without it.

Ryegrass is something I've been wanting to experiment on and the only reason I actually went with Blue-eyed, is because they didn't have any rye at the nursery I went to. Experimentation is key, so now that I have some older Amanita Cultures I'm going to be making more LC to start trying different things. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into it further for my first few spawn-to-bulk attempts. 🍄🍄

Maybe grow rye grass from seed with the mycorrhizal all ready in the soil. Good luck and thank you

@@baronbullshyster2996 Good idea too; I think in the upcoming week I'm going to get around another video to update this series with actually spawning some of this mycelium out to bulk in a few different attempts that are aside from the main plant inoculation. This bacteria should culture pretty quickly.

Interesting videos, well shot, and everything looks really cool. I wish you success in your endeavors. It's fascinating to observe! I want to conduct an experiment with Amanita muscaria and the roots of plants that will be grown indoors. Currently, the substrate in which the houseplant is growing is being colonized. It would be surprising if the mycelium of Amanita muscaria could interact with other plants and produce fruiting bodies.

@@baronbullshyster2996 There's a paper linked in the description specifically for erythritol. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, doing a dunk or slight rehydration with this solution should theoretically improve that next flush. There's a few posts on Reddit from some people's experience working with it. 1-2% by dry weight of supplemental ingredients seems to be the ratio I've seen most used. Too much will inhibit growth. Only one way for you to know though! Try it out if you have the supplies and are willing to take the risk. I'm thinking that with some refinement on the process this will be a very good kick-start method. Let me know what you figure out! 🍄

@@electricstreetpoet Me either! I got my bacteria culturing started today so we can finally move forward.

Thank you!

Some was liquid culture and other was grain spawn! 🍄

@TheFungiFilesSC So even with LC, it's gotta be PC'd?

@@Alexalex-fp6ks Definitely; Grain, agar and LC all get pressure cooked ideally with an actual pressure cooker at 15psi, but I use an instant pot at about 12.5-14psi with great success just increasing the time by about 1.5x. We do this to kill any and all microorganisms living within. They're everywhere even in some of the cleanest spaces. After they've been killed we know that we now have this nice clean food for the mushrooms and no nasties. 🍄

@@tolem80 Thank you! Link is now in the description!

@@treheem293 working on one today and tomorrow! One more video to finish beforehand. Should be up for Sunday?

Enjoy! I eventually want to try growing some wine caps.

I'll see if I can get it from him!

@@jonathana.1802 Link is in the description!

Thank you! Super excited to have it! Much less constricting working in a space like this. Makes the work flow tons better. Happy Holidays! 🍄

@@RT87-99 That's a great question and something I eventually want to get some substantial testing on. I'm actively looking for more sustainable growing methods especially with controlled fruiting. Maybe silicone bags or glass containers. I've been brainstorming for a while but want to eliminate or reduce the plastic in the entire process. 🍄 Happy Holidays 🥼

Interesting! Nice little deck for them lol.

🥽🥼

@@samuelclark1095 Interesting! I can definitely make a nice LC and use a bottle to applicate it to a sheet. Any suggestions for a material? Happy holidays and thank you for the suggestion! I'll give that a shot in this next update video. I can't wait for a nice moldy hat 🍄 definitely gives me some to think about.

@@tidub119 Definitely one of my favorite! Hopefully I'll be able to get a full growth inside for a nice meal.

@TheFungiFilesSC that would be amazing

This literally isn't Nerd stuff.

@@Alexalex-fp6ks you literally don't know what literally means

@tidub119 Yes.. I do bud. Literally:In a literal manner or sense;exactly Nerd:a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject. 'Science nerd stuff'. I don't think you know what you're talking about kid. Go back to eating crayons in the 3rd grade.

You definitely could if you didnt want to make the rice yourself, however if you're pressure cooking it already and have access to one, you may as well spend 3$ on 3lb of rice instead of 1.50$ on a single jars worth of rice. The premade bags already run issues of being a little too wet, so you might as well experiment and dial in your own moisture preference for your own boiled grain. I like brown rice because the turn around is fast from wanting some more grain spawn to bring ready to inoculate it. If I rush the cooling process like sub 4-5 hours for a batch of jars. If you don't have access to any dried brown rice then these will do and pressure cooking will increase your chance of success. Mush love 🍄

@ cheers brotha! Ill give it a go! Yeah a big bulk bag of rice would be better, I just have to drive into the city if I want that. Gives me something to try until I get chance to head up :)

@@HANCinemaa Let me know how it goes! Maybe the pressure cooking might help solve that over wet rice issue too. Good luck!

Thats what I was thinking too!

Interesting idea! Maybe I'll look at a burlap sack or something. Thanks for the suggestion and watching the content!

They've colonized greatly, and started to for primordia, and got really orange in some spots, but have yet to fruit. I'm hoping within the next few weeks we'll see some growth. No overgrowth on the surface though there's a nice layer of mycelium. I"ll try to work on an update video this week using the rest of my stored broth to see if it's still viable and use some of my LC up on a big batch with that container I showed at the beginning of the video. I'll also show off the jars that have been on my shelf. If you check out either of the newer videos you can see the two cordy jars on the shelf.

@@TheFungiFilesSC thank you, can't wait..greetings from Serbia!

@@mrrexy4151 Greetings! 🍄🍄

Definitely! It's just inconvenient with these dishes right side up because there's no lip difference. I just got a bunch of autoclavable petris that are perfect and the top lip only covers about half.

@@edwardgrand I've enjoyed all the liquid culture stuff. I've made about a dozen LC syringes so far and capped them all off to give to my dad. Be careful yourself! So many of them broke. They look nice but I'll probably just use them for making aesthetic plates, or maybe just for culturing my bacteria. I also picked up a 300pack of dog pads too. I'm excited to make the switch over. I'm thinking of breaking down the big chamber and making two smaller ones because I'll have so many batches of genetics to run here soon. Maybe I'll just make more and keep the big one.

@@TheFungiFilesSC Dog pads and diapers for the win :) Makes life so much easier. I'm going away for 2 days and don't need to worry about the electric going out and resetting all my electronics!

@@AmanitaPLUS Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the content as much as I enjoy making it! If you ever have suggestions for what you want to see in the future let me know! I appreciate your support. Mush love 🍄

Thank you! 🍄

Not a worry at all! Interesting. I'll have to try this out when I eventually start to try some outdoor experiments. Thanks again for the suggestions!

It has grown fruit out of the filter patch after several months of sitting there fully colonized in some attempts I've seen posted online..still low yield... Maybe top fruiting with a casing layer and good cold soaking could trigger it after colonization? Good luck!

@@haydennorris2913 Good idea! And thank you for the suggestion. I'll maybe look into some supplementation aside from the usual masters mix. Maybe grinding a freshly felled tree, or trying outdoor logs as well. Its nice to have at least captured some genetics and spores. Thanks tons! Mush love 🍄

Let me know how it goes! I need to update with success and failures of this project so far. 🍄

Thank you for the advice! I can always take some more. I took heel clippings, so no cutting just broke them gently back at the base of a small 4-6 inch branch.

@ will u use a monotub or a lizard aquarium thing to monitor the root structure Ik it’s more underground that does the work n pops out the amanita

@@djkeen4353 probably not a monotub, at least not yet. For monitoring the roots I'll just occasionally dig around the outer root structure and observe their growth. It'll be a little more tough once I introduce the Mycelium as it'll make it much more dense, but I'll still be able to lightly dig and monitor development.

@@Isolating_radicalizerLikewise to yourself! I would check for liquid culture distributers if theres any that ship international. I ordered from inoculate the world. I'm not sure if live mycelium is allowed for postal for you or not though. If I find any in the wild or even indoor growth 🤞 I'd be more than happy to ship spores or mycelium laws allowing. Mush love 🍄

@@brabbit7703 they're two separate goals. Dechlorinating tap water for plants and then distilling it for mycology. I didn't distil then dechlorinate. They were two separate batches of water. I could've been more clear about that but they were both separate processes.

I should be updating this series soon. The paper didn't work out entirely well so far, maybe the species wasn't suited well for it. The sheets however are growing at least one of them, I checked last week. 🍄🍄

Unfortunately, hydroponics for mushrooms is extremely difficult and not really worth it at all. They rely on a dense mycelium network rooted in the substrate. They use enzymes to break down their nutrients and absorb it more like actual digestion. So while I'm sure it's possible to grow the mycelium to fruiting with a hydroponic setup, I ultimately think there's too many challenges to make it even worth it.

@@JohnCallahan360 Thanks tons! I'm looking at wheat or potentially rye grass to assist. We'll see what comes of it! 🍄

Good idea! Or propagating a heel from a pine or something. I do want to look into bonsai as I expect it to be an option. We're just in the very very beginning stages, and the nursery I went to only has local species. Ultimately it's figuring out that relationship so we can hopefully use different species of plants or even supplements to achieve fruiting. Thanks bunches 🍄

@TheFungiFilesSC You should find people who already gather amanita in the wild. Go out with them in the fall with a shovel and just take a square foot of dirt around the mushroom, and the mushroom, and put em in a plastic tub or ten. Then just observe. Don't cultivate it. Let it die, study the soil and organisms in the dirt, wait for new ones to grow. An observational study. It would take a year though, since they only sprout in autumn right? I gues you could experiment with greenhouses and freezers to see if you can "trick" the organisms into thinking winter, spring and summer passed again.

Absolutely! I would love to find it in it's natural habitat. I'll be ordering a nice microscope here eventually to help with identification and observation of bacteria and other microorganisms. I'm hoping to find a group here for this next foraging season. 🍄

@@bruhboi1539 🍌🍄

Definitely a good tip. The next time I use one, I think I'll be doing that to go quicker and have cleaner holes. I got a good deal lol, when they told me how much I grabbed most of them. 5-6 total, so I got extra to experiment with. These next ones will be smaller and I'll be using the "diaper tek" as suggested by Edward Grand.

@@PotatoSaladjr thank you very much! 🍄

@@999fine5 lol you did see the drill, right? Had to pull it out of storage.

Just use the drill normally. No need for the reverse bs. That method is for hole saw.

@@bmoneybby the big cracks were from me going forward when I was rushing to get the holes started. It melts instead of snaps old plastic doing it in reverse. It's a 1/4in bit, so if you were using something smaller it would probably be fine.

@TheFungiFilesSC you don't press the drill so fckn hard it snaps the plastic. Lol. You have to use the tool properly.

@bmoneybby I wasn't pressing hard at all. The bit when going either slow or fast would grab the plastic once it broke through and snap. YMMV when using newer plastic and a different bit. These were bins from 2008.

@@baronbullshyster2996 that may be a good idea to test. My worry with the is raising the temperature too high for the mushrooms. I was thinking for a secondary chamber, to build some sort of external humidifier with a digital control sensor to automate based on actual relative humidity. I could just use a larger scale setup like a water bath ultrasonic humidifier but I feel that's overkill for my current needs. Thanks for the suggestion! 🍄

@@TheFungiFilesSChere in the uk it’s cold atm so I was probably thinking of how to keep it up to temperature. All so I saw this thing on Paul Stamet he said the mycelium of lions mane has more active nutrients than the fruit. Does the mycelium of a cube contain any nutrients that the fruit contains. Just had a mad thought one could just eat the uncle Bens rice 😊

@baronbullshyster2996 while yes, with cubes or any other species, there can be trace amounts in the mycelium, there's not substantial evidence it's enough or worth it. You gotta think that nutrients is a protection mechanism for the fruits so they can grow to spread their spores. Some do make substrate teas or extracts, but I say you're better off burying it and letting nature take it's course, or using it as supplementation for plant nutrients. It may be different with herecium so I'll look into that. I'll still look into the water idea. Maybe a piped container or something. Still thinking of ideas. 🍄

When I grow koji kin, which needs a stable temperature and humidity I use a small bin filled with water and an aquarium heater with thermostat submerged in it as a low tech humidifier / temperature monitor. With a lid on that container, and just opened slightly as to adjust the temp and humidity. I was actually just thinking the same for fruiting mushrooms as well in this setup... I finally have some extra time on my hand, bought a nice mushroom mixture on the farmers market this morning, extra lion's mane... I want to try cloning again, I have had mixed results in the past. Will try out! Low tech low cost experiments, LOVE it.

@@baronbullshyster2996 you could leave the mycellium contained, then it will not fruit but produce "emergency bulb" things, called truffles. Funny thing is they are legal in the Netherlands, while the actual mushroom is not. Both contain the active goodies. I also discovered the small pins from a flush are pretty strong. Mycellium itself I don't know, though.

@@edwardgrand good idea! I saw someone doing that with like dog training pads. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@rafi1234321 I agree! Must've been a dead root system underneath. Maybe an old stump.

Many kittens lol! I should've thought of that I literally have a Dremel in my tool bin. Also a good idea with the zipties. I may eventually swap over to those so I can break it down when it's time to move or if I reuse the parts. I was going to go for a classic sgfc, but I really wanted to fit that wine rack in so I can fit my ziploc bags and if I decide to fruit from mason jars, those as well. My LM was definitely struggling in my bag chamber and needed something a little more suitable, so far I'm pretty happy with it!

@@TheFungiFilesSC Yeah that wine rack is great, looks perfect for the bag fruiting. Can't wait to see how it works out.

@eschient I'll show it off in a short/TT here in the next few hours. I got it loaded with shiitake, lions mane, and King oyster now.

@@TheFungiFilesSC Sounds awesome! Ohhh! I thought of something else - check out silicone twist ties. Those would work great to prop open the lids, they're very sturdy.

@eschient good idea! It may look a little better too. I got so many bins that this is more a proof of concept, that I can advance on in the next design. I won't complain about having more fruiting chambers, especially if I'm trying to isolate something.
