Hi, nice video. I have a question about cloning and obtaining spores. Are spores obtained to renew the culture? Cloning a mushroom preserves the age of the mycelium? What are you looking for with cloning and spores? Stabilize genetics or continue looking for phenotypes
Short answer, cloning you're looking for specific traits (large fruits, large clusters) to hopefully continue to grow that same phenotype (its takes a few selections and then going back to spore to stabilize it, that's a much deeper conversation) Spores are how you pheno hunt. I will swab a plate with spores and as long as they are clean I will just take that whole plate right to grain and grow it out and start hunting. I will also try to isolate a monokayron culture for potenial breeding down the road (again another deep topic)
@@RealSimpleMushrooms I have another question if you don't mind, I was growing certain genetics with peat, worm castings and vermicurite. (with great resoults, yields and flushes) Some easy genetics.(like creepers or golden t) Now I wanted to try some exotic ones like yeti and I have noticed that the fruits come out too small. Could it be that some species like different types of substrate? I have had bad experiences with coconut and vermicurite so I decided to make my own substrate.

Awesome video, a scalpel always works but ever since I started using tweezers to make clones I'll never go back. ✌️🍄
Yea they're super helpful, I have some I use as well
