Re: Fleece cultivation
With a sharp enough fork? Knife? Screwdriver or just a screw! Anything that is sharp enough...
I will probably attempt making it my self first and then let you know how i failed or succeeded

Re: Fleece cultivation
Here is an update on my beans experiment
48hours have passed and i cant say that i see any fleece/mucor or molds growing on em((( i have removed the preserving liquid but i guess they are still full of it, and that may be the reason why nothing looks to be growing on em...

Re: Fleece cultivation
@T36 When starting from the amanita powder it can take a little longer, I'd say give it another couple days. So if it doesnt work this time, try doing Don Teeters method of innoculation prep. Its basically just putting the ground amanita powder in clean water and hydrating it for a few hours before introducing it to the substrate. If there are fleece spores in hibernation they're more likely to awaken! That said, i think I see a little green mold forming in the top middle area. (I could be wrong it isnt really clear, but I recognize that mold is basically my arch nemesis! Lol) Don't get worked up over it though, we're expecting it!

Re: Fleece cultivation
really interesting! i have oven dried my muscarias with heat, so i guess they are useless here. i would love to be able to do this before the next year.

Re: Fleece cultivation
@Mcpato nope no green but i looked again and saw white! so its happening will try to take clearer pics next time...
@amanita muscaria if you dried em on the low heat setting with the door open and a fan blowing fresh air in, then the spores could have survived!..

Glass Holy Grail
Ok so i tried making the glass holy grail by scratching it with all the sharp object's i could get my hands on and nothing worked
Well nothing except this glass cutting tool I cant remember how this tool is called but its pretty cheap))) the black rings look like knife sharpener thingies:D so if you have a spare one try it... I probably should have made more scratches but i was super lazy even tho its super easy))) Before and after) And here is the hydrated AM powder in the glass holy grail<3 i used raspberry jam to make a juice kind of a tincture to hydrate the mushroom!..

My Fleece experiment #2!
Uhh... Those were all separate when I put them in there...
Yep its definitely still alive... I decided to open the bag and let it air dry while being relatively protected. Still my best haul of spores!
I used pearled barley, 1 cup with 2.5 cups water, and 1 cup quinoa with 1 cup of water, pressure cooked for 23 minutes at high pressure, then cooled for a few hours. Then I grabbed a pinch of fleece that WASN'T connected to that living mass in the bag and threw that in and stirred.
If this is successful it is far superior than any other method of "living bread" making I've done yet. This amount of grain in jars of mold in my pantry practically gave my wife an anxiety attack on a few occasions, so this is MUCH better.
Again, this is just a plastic (sorry Earth...) microwave cover I bought at the dollar store that fits perfectly over the glass plate I bought at the same time! I'm going to have to watch the heat and moisture that this living mass will produce. If its too much, from now on I'll do batches half this size. But I'll try to make it work by lifting the top slightly with some type of support between lid and plate. Omg I'm excited about this one!
