I'm new to your channel, but I have to say I'm very impressed. You have very clear videos, with easy to digest info. Keep making these great videos. Thank you
I had bought Christmas clear plastic balls. I made a alien 👽 🤪 but I used one to gather spores. I pulled the cap out and put a gob of agar on the print. I love my new love of growing mushrooms 🍄 😍 ❤️ 💕
Thanks for the support! I most definitely will. Life has been crazy recently and I have been slacking on social media but I’m hoping to get back into my grind soon and I have a bunch of ideas for videos :)
I have found success just putting them somewhere high up and sterile and usually keep them at about room temperature. Once they are fully colonized I will move them to the fridge to store for longer. I found that if I add them to my innoculation chamber they sometimes build up excess moisture. (Could just be the way the agar plates were poured)
I really want to get my first grow going. Ive watched so many videos, mostly your videos. And feel like im ready. But now my biggest thing is finding all my supplies. I wish i could find a good list with everything all in one place so i can kind of check things off just to be sure im good to go. I dont want to have to stop in the middle of it and wait for mail or something like that. Also, a good reputable place to buy the spores, grains, all that stuff. Ive seen places with super good prices on spores and others like double or even triple that price. Any help would be amazing!!! ❤ Loving your channel bro!! When i become a pro, I will do something in your honor! As you have taught me almost everything to get going. I became a pro cannabis grower and it was all due to videos like this but from several channels. Its nice to just have all your videos all in one place. Thank you so much!!!
I hope you know how much the kind words mean to me! I’m glad I’ve been able to help others in their myco journey even though I also just started mine 😁. If you would like to know where I purchased all of my growing materials as well as where I get my genetics feel free to head over to my instagram and shoot me a message 👍
@@GoombaGrows I'll send you a message for sure. It might look weird because I don't have an IG account. Lol I haven't ever made one. But I will now. See you over there bro! ❤️
Great question! I am currently working on recording a video that goes from spore print to fruits. It’s a bit of a process but the easiest way to use your spore print. Is to take a swab / qtip. Rub some of the spores on to the swab and then rub the swab around in an agar dish. From their wait a week or two and you should see some mycelium start to grow :)
@@jamesfirehummer3216 absolutely! Although it did work for me here and has worked for me numerous times without a flow hood. I still highly recommend one for all mycology work and agar work in particular. However as you probably know, flow hoods can get super pricey and most hobby growers are not willing to pay the price for them. At least not at the beginning of their mycology journey.
What do you do with the mycelium from the clones after it forms? I’m still new to all this and this is the first time I heard of cloning mushrooms. I know you can scrape spores from a spore print onto agar and start the mycelium that way but never knew you could clone a specific mushrooms from the mushroom itself no spores involved. So after the mycelium grows from the piece of the mushroom is everything else then the same procedure as for the spores on the agar from that point on?
I am working on making a spore to fruit video in the near future. Usually it is as simple as using the chunks of colonized agar like you would with LC or spores. Just throw it in with some sterilized grain and it should start to grow :)
@@GoombaGrows So you can get infinite mushrooms, that's awesome!!! I still don't get the difference between the petri dish and the spore print in terms of how to use them, but I'll be waiting for your video then
There is lots of recipes and videos on how to make your own agar and hopefully soon I will make my own :) you can use a piece of a mushroom on agar or you can even take spores and rub them on agar to begin mycelium growth.
If you are referring to the bruising on the mushroom then no it shouldn’t matter. I have obtained good mycelium on agar plates whether the tissue is bruised or not.
no, whats that blue stuff on ur agar plate, like i have a normal petri dish and its clear all the way. Do i need the blue stuff on ur petri dish or can i just put it in there with nothing@@GoombaGrows
Just another way to continue future generations of a species. Sometimes it can be useful for trying to find new genetics to capture. I’ve seen lots of people get an odd ball albino fruit from a spore print of a non albino species and they are then able to capture the genetics of the albino variant and recreate bins full of the albino fruits.
You contaminated your sample piece by cutting into it and dragging stuff onto the outside of the stem into the center of it with the kmife thats why you aint supposed to cut it just rip it and if its too smalll then maybe you shouldnt even be cloning that in the first place
Personally, I think you could provide feedback with a little less arrogance. While you are right, it is better to just split the mushroom with gloves on rather than cutting into it from the outside because the possibility of introducing contaminates this agar dish 100% was not contaminated and never became contaminated. I also don’t believe I ever said it was too small… it was smaller than the mushrooms from the second flush but that’s pretty normal lol..
Love your videos man , so informative and you break everything down in a real simple way
The absolute best tutorials. Thank you for explaining the basics.
Thanks for your comment and support :)

Great vid, and i love your channel! Would you make a vid on what to do after you have your spore print? Thank you

Electrical tape works
After you used the caps are they still edible? In general if the mushrooms release its spores will they change in some way?
Yeah bro, their still good to consume.
Shrooms naturally release spores at the end of their growth cycle anyway.
What are the conditions for storing the inoculated plates?
I have found success just putting them somewhere high up and sterile and usually keep them at about room temperature. Once they are fully colonized I will move them to the fridge to store for longer. I found that if I add them to my innoculation chamber they sometimes build up excess moisture. (Could just be the way the agar plates were poured)
@@GoombaGrows Is it possible to just add nutrients to an old colony that has fruited, and have it grow and fruit again? Why go from scratch each time?
Thanks for the help much appreciated 👊💯👊
Electrical tape is a really good stretchy substitute for the expensive parafilm.
Another noob inspired♡ Found some beauties today to try my hand at prints. Plan to watch series, thank you for your efforts friend. ✌️ ❤
Thanks for the support! Good luck on your journey :)
This is really helpful thanks
thanks for watching and commenting :)
Love the videos 💯 always learning something new

awesome video man!!
Thanks for the support 🍄❤️
awesome video
Thank you!!
what do you do with the spore prints I dont get it? just keep in case need to fertilise straw at a later date?
What do you do with the spores when you want to use
Great question! I am currently working on recording a video that goes from spore print to fruits. It’s a bit of a process but the easiest way to use your spore print. Is to take a swab / qtip. Rub some of the spores on to the swab and then rub the swab around in an agar dish. From their wait a week or two and you should see some mycelium start to grow :)
But what do you do with the clones. If you just use the spores.
And I wanna say thx you help me a lot with my grow kits 💪🏼💪🏼
You can use the clones to try and grow full monotubs of the specific genetics you captured :)
this is before the drying process right?
ow yeah, and what do you do with the the spores? whats the process???
Did you really do that agar work with no flow hood?
I really did!
@@GoombaGrows impressive, and thank you

Great video. Im new to this , Is there a specific temperature you like to maintain with your plates while they grow?
I usually keep them at room temperature and they are just fine. Once fully colonized I’ll put them in the fridge for storage.
Hell yea , thanks brother

So after the mycelium grows from the piece of the mushroom is everything else then the same procedure as for the spores on the agar from that point on?
But how do you use the petri dishes with the new mycelium in them, and the spore print? How to get new mushrooms with that?
I am working on making a spore to fruit video in the near future. Usually it is as simple as using the chunks of colonized agar like you would with LC or spores. Just throw it in with some sterilized grain and it should start to grow :)

@@winter9753 yes sir it truly is amazing. You can pick a mushroom from the wild, isolate its genetics and produce infinite from that one mushroom.
Hey boss how do you take from your spore print and make basically liquid culture or whatever you inoculate your grain with in that needle
It’s a bit of a process but I take the spore print, swab it then transfer the spores to agar. Once I get mycelium I transfer the agar into grain.
@@GoombaGrows, love the name of your channel, lol. This process of going from print to liquid culture, can you make a video on that process?
@@mikeawesnap thank you! And yes I can :)
@@GoombaGrows can you make a video about that?
What's in the agare dish bro, i only have the prints and i can't do nothing!!
There is lots of recipes and videos on how to make your own agar and hopefully soon I will make my own :) you can use a piece of a mushroom on agar or you can even take spores and rub them on agar to begin mycelium growth.
Hey so does it matter if I have that blue stuff inside of the petri dish? or can i just go ahead and put the tissue in a plain petri dish
If you are referring to the bruising on the mushroom then no it shouldn’t matter. I have obtained good mycelium on agar plates whether the tissue is bruised or not.
no, whats that blue stuff on ur agar plate, like i have a normal petri dish and its clear all the way. Do i need the blue stuff on ur petri dish or can i just put it in there with nothing@@GoombaGrows
@@SDNKadoohhh no haha my fault. It’s just dye nothing special!
ah okay, so if i put the mushroom in a plain clear petri dish itll grow agar?@@GoombaGrows
Why save a spore print?
Just another way to continue future generations of a species. Sometimes it can be useful for trying to find new genetics to capture. I’ve seen lots of people get an odd ball albino fruit from a spore print of a non albino species and they are then able to capture the genetics of the albino variant and recreate bins full of the albino fruits.

How long are spore prints good for?
