How to inoculate and cultivate your substrate
All
work should be done in front of a laminar flow hood or glove box in the
cleanest environment possible. Following sterile technique will greatly reduce
the chance of contamination.
1.
Your package should contain live liquid culture syringe, sterile
packaged needle,
2.
Make sure your hands are clean, and you are wearing clean,
freshly laundered clothes
3.
Clean your work area thoroughly with a disinfectant such as
bleach or Lysol. Wipe down your work
surface, your substrate and
syringe with rubbing alcohol and spray an air sanitizing spray like Oust or
4.
Put on your gloves and wipe them with rubbing alcohol.
5.
Carefully open the packaging that your liquid culture syringe
came in, remove the cap on the end of
the syringe and attach the
needle.
6.
Make sure you shake the liquid culture syringe to disperse the
mycelium.
7.
Wipe the injection point on your substrate with alcohol.
8.
Remove the cap from the needle and insert it through the
injection point of the substrate. You will
only need to use 1-2 ml of
your 10 ml syringe. Larger substrates will require more solution. It is best
to flame sterilize it between
each injection.
9.
Place tape over the injection port.
10.
If there is any solution left over, place the needle cap back on
the syringe, place back in bag and
store in a refrigerator for
future use unless its
Pink Oyster
.
11.
Place your bag in an incubator or storage bag in a dark, clean
place like a clean box inside a closet.
Mycelium will incubate anywhere
from 70-86 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the specific strain.
12.
Allow the bag to fully colonize (turn completely white). This
should take 10-14 days at warmer
temperatures, or 16-21 days
at temperatures around 70 degrees. Please research the specific
species of mushroom you are
cultivating in order to incubate at correct temperature.
13.
Once fully colonized and consolidated there are many ways to get
your grain spawn to fruit into actual mushrooms. Some mushrooms will fruit
right in the jar or bag with no additional help, others must be mixed with a
bulk substrate like compost, straw, mulch or wood chips. Some require a casing
layer or protective barrier like casing or vermiculite. Once again it is
important to research the specific species you are cultivating because
different mushroom prefer different growing mediums and climates.
