    Is there any “cheap” microscope you recommend for new people in the hobby wanting to do mushroom breeding? Not wanting to spend too much yet.

    Good one. I compare the two to using binoculars and a telescope. My stereo scope is just a cheapy, wanting to upgrade to something a little bit better than a $20 "coin" one.

    Hi, I just discovered your awesome channel. I already watched a lot of your videos but I can't see any guide for people like me breaking into mushroom growing or breeding without a solid background. Can you please make a video about starting a mushroom growing business. Much love from the Philippines!

    Im so frustrated with a microscope i ordered. It seems the specimen must be translucent for me to see something. i cannot use it for opaque specimens because the light comes from underneath , just like you presented the compound microscope. Is there any way to mount a light source above the specimen so that we can use it for opaque specimens?

    • @FreshfromtheFarmFungi
      @FreshfromtheFarmFungi  10 месяцев назад

      This goes for all microscopes except for a stereo scope which js basically a big magnifying glass. For this situation a cross section should be used. You can try slicing really thin cross sections with a scalpel or exacto knife or professionals use a microtomer with parafin wax to make slides.

    Is there a compound microscope in the $100-$200 range you would recommend? I would like to start identifying spores and isolating single spores as well.

    • @FreshfromtheFarmFungi
      @FreshfromtheFarmFungi  Год назад

      this is as cheap as I would go - I got mine for 40% off on black friday. Maybe check a university at the end of semester (May is a good time to reach out) sometimes they massively discount nice scopes because they are upgrading.

    Why do you say the stereo is especially useful for breeding? Thank you for sharing all the amazing work, info and content!

    • @camhowelse5797
      @camhowelse5797 Год назад

      I’m wondering because I thought it was mentioned that the compound has better magnification and resolution. So I would think without knowing better that compounds would be my choice for breeding. But then I heard you say the stereo is especially useful for field work and breeding. So I’m curious. Thank you for any clarification :)

      It just because the stereo have a tendency to 'turn ON' some female specimen.

    I am just getting into the stage where I need to see clamp connections but if i remove the clamp connection & put it on a slide its no longer a viable sample that can be used to make the strain using the compound microscope..... or am I wrong?
    (joining haploid to haploid to make diploid)

    • @julescircuits845
      @julescircuits845 Год назад +1

      When observing for clamp connections in dikaryon mycelium we generally take a small sample from the agar plate to view, leaving the rest of the plate as viable culture, if there's visible clamps in the sample you can pretty much bet your left eye they're in the rest of the mycelium on the plate...

      ​@@julescircuits845 thanks, i do not have a microscope atm & have been looking at a compound microscope.
      i've been doing serial dilutions, culturing haploid colonies, transfering haploids in pairs of two to a new plate & waiting for them to pair & viewing with a magnifying glass, it just impossible to get the view needed with a magnifying glass & relying on them pairing as an actual physical connection.

      @@themyceliumnetwork You're doing well ;) best thing until you get a scope is keep doing that and put any mycelium that appears rhizomorphic (usually indicates diploid state) to a new plate-grain-bulk and see what fruits you get from what :)
      I've been cultivating gourmet as a hobby successfully for a year now and only just got a compound microscope, looking forward to doing identifications, seeing basidia, clamp connections and spores etc but not necessary for most of the usual growing process at our level and I think experimenting is kinda half the fun 😊

    I have been agonizing over which to get. The new stereo scopes are not expensive and seem to have decent magnification BUT the compound scope can't be beaten for magnification. I still don't know which to get for looking at spores but I think a moderate compound sounds like it might be better. I can only barely afford just one so I have to make the choice count

      I'll go with the stereomicroscope with a trinocular. I think it's more versatile (mushroom, electronic inspection, broken nail/small injury inspection, low to moderate magnification and cool 3D effect).
