I've inoculated 4 bags but 2 just stalled out on me.. the others look like they're coming along.. i got some books I'm reading from Terrance McKenna and learning from videos.... I'm definitely going to look into that book you recommend, thank you very much... I've been interested in growing mushrooms for about 6 months now,but I freaking love it already... plus the community is so loving and everyone enjoys helping others out... ever since I've watched southwest mushrooms videos I felt this is the road I wanna take... their warehouse is just a mile up the road from me.. I want to get on that level someday.. I need to take a trip over there to see their set up... i guess start with friends and family and grow from there... you're right,just gotta start small and take baby steps...

    I've been making soma, which is just wild mushrooms, fermented with yeast, sugar, leaves, and distilled water. Looks like it's beer, but seems to be a semi active liquid culture in terms of growing them.
    The spores settle to the bottom, just like yeast.
    I don't have a sterile lab, I'd be curious if you could prove this would work as a viable spore syringe, without being steam sterilized, or isolated.
    I'd also be curious if that would work as is for sterile spawn, or pasteurized bulk sub.
    It would further explain how ancient people worked with mushrooms without sterile techniques. From Soma medicine, I think they would inoculate piles of logs, and once they would be colonized, they'd be moved into caves.
    I think they used to put the spawn in clay casks inside the cave, if I'm not mistaken.
    This would have been around and before the dark ages.
    I've also been studying Ectomycchorizae, and I think Soma can do similar things to mushrooms, as in integrate foreign DNA into their genetic code... seems like a labs job to prove tho lol
