    Gary, I’m pretty sure you are the only dude on UA-cam doing this kind of in depth content. Believe me, I’ve searched. We appreciate it. I am wanting to understand the process of breeding more and there just isnt a lot of content out there.

    Great video Gary! This makes me wish someone would make an iso printer that could print single spores perfectly spaced out on agar plates. Would love to see a video about strengthening genetics and principles of inheritance.

    I watched your video where you divide a spore solution multiple times until you get a low enough spore concentration to easily isolate single spores. I thought a bit and you might be able to do the same thing with sticky tape. Make a spore print on the sticky side of sticky tape, then line up a bunch of sticky tapes in a row and touch the spore print side to a fresh piece of tape sticky side to sticky side and pull it apart which probably removes half of the spores then grab a fresh piece of sticky tape and touch the last piece of tape together with the new piece. Eventually you get down to single spores. Not sure if a single spore on a piece of sticky tape is useful but was an interesting thought exercise.

    What is the advantage of isolating single spores over allowing spores to randomly mate on a media plate or other nutritious matter? Is there a way to determine which spores will have better genetics?

    • @FreshfromtheFarmFungi
      @FreshfromtheFarmFungi  Рік тому +1

      the advantage is that you can get more variance - with random selection the stronger genetic expression will prevail and you end up with similar genetics (not necessarily a bad thing)

    First time i hear about this is from you.
    Imagining a cross between cordycep militaris and lions mane that grow very well in wood and eat pests.
    Also it would look like a cordycep stalk with lions mane cap or reverse :))
    This have crazy potential imo.
