    Usually, PDA recipes have 200 g of sliced potatoes for 1 liter of water. Can you explain why you've put 250 grams of potatoes?

    • @TheMFHM
      @TheMFHM  10 місяців тому

      250 grams are more suitable for quick growth of fungi. Use 200 grams if the mycelial growth is vigorous.

      for mycelium not a good idea to use sweet potato the mix becomes too sugary and in some cases mycelium die.
      you can use table sugar but not recommended.

    My only issue is when I boil 250g of potato with 500ml of water, the water all evaporates before 20 minutes and I am left with burnt potato mush and no liquid. I adapted and boiled the potatoes in 1L of water. Then I follow the rest of the video (personally I also added 2g of Yeast Extract). Before I separate into flasks to autoclave I bring the total volume up to 1L.

      Use agar instead of phytagel because phytagel is better in growing X-plant and develop plant roots. Fungus grows extremely well on the surface of Agar.

      Dextrose is a simple sugar and is chemically identical to glucose. It is often used in baking products as a sweetener, and can be commonly found in items such as processed foods and corn syrup.
      You can use simple glucose too.
