Edible LC culture?

BigStemz · 03-07-08, 08:43

If i wanted to make a LC with an edible, would a light karo syrup lc work fine, or not? I've only used karo for my cubie grows, mayb theres something better out there than karo for edibles?

I don't think so. All the shrooms seem to like simmilar nutes. Well, maybe there is an alternative, but I'd go with Karo without too much thinking about it :P.

i started some oyster and shiitake cultures in karo about a week ago, and they're all growing pretty well. I've heard that supplementing your LC with a bit of hardwood sawdust will speed growth. Stamet's has this recipe in GGMM:

Liquid Culture Media For Wood Decomposers:
1000 ml water
40 grams barley malt sugar
3-5 grams hardwood sawdust
2 grams yeast
1 gram calcuim sulfate

i haven't tried it, but next time i'm gonna scrounge up some sawdust and throw it in. couldn't hurt.

is that nutritional yeast your talking about in that recipe?

Yeah, karo will work just fine but if you want to tweak it some then find out what the mushroom you are interested in likes to grow on. Make a tea out of it and add a little karo.
