Part III ~ Making a Woodlover Liquid Culture

This is how I make my woodlover liquid cultures. The process starts with soaking hardwood chips in water over nite. The water absorbs nutrients from the wood chips which makes an excellent broth. The tea is poured thru a coffee filter to strain out any small particles, in this case hickory chips were used. 250 ml of hickory tea was added to the baby bottle and 1 tsp of Karo was added. Here's some of the supplies.



I used a baby bottle for the LC. The top is snipped off, and the nozzle is stuffed with polyfill.



The tea is microwaved for 3 minutes. After it cools, an azurescens print is added.
These pics show the growth 48 hrs later.





The LC can be used to create your final fruiting substrate.



If all goes well, we'll have another pretty vase of azures.
