Shiitake mycelium in a culture
jar, cloned from a mushroom. |
Our Mushroom-growing experiment progresses well, if a little slower than expected. In the first step we
cloned some Shiitake cells into several Malt-nutrified agar vessels. Not unexpectedly, given the crude nature of our lab setup,
some of those became infected with other, unwanted organisms and had to be tossed out. There remained two jars of clean, healthy mycelium - the "root" structure of fungi. The next stage in growing Mushrooms is to bulk these up into much larger volumes.
This is their story.
