This is so cool! I actually just did this whole process. Found a lion's mane in Oregon, cloned and grew it out. Then I took a spore swab from it and grew it out on agar and made an LC out of it. I have been growing a strain of lions mane that is from the east coast, the Oregon lion's mane is a great strain and is almost better than the previous strain..... such a fun process
Great information. I like that you went from start to finish. I especially like the idea to add wheat bran to the grain spawn. I’ll definitely try that on my next run. Keep up the great videos.
That's a great shortcut if you can get away with it, but in general I think it's still best to clean it up on agar a bit just because of the risk of latent contams when tissue culturing. Nice job capturing a commercial strain on the cheap with a store-bought mushroom.
Always great content coming from you, currently working on cleaning up a wild Ganoderma lucidum I found fruiting from a pile of wood chips. This video came at a perfect time!
Great video like always! I'm growing lions mane (not the same name as the video). But do they grow a little "slow"? I am getting fruit bodies but man the wait! I'm new but so glad to see fruit finally! Love your videos! Watch them every time!
Thank you for watching. Many species do require alot of patience, which isn't always easy. Sounds like you're doing well and having success, congrats 👊🧡
Amazing video i appreciate the walkthrough of your process any chance I can get a spore swab?? I live in NY as well and would love a locally found varient I've grown erinaceus and americanum both of them were purchased would love a 3rd species in my bank as well
I'm not really set up yet to swap cultures with viewers, but it's something I'm thinking about/working on. In the meantime check out Olga at Smugtown Mushrooms. She is right near me and captures a lot of local strains/sells cultures. Thanks for watching and commenting 🧡
I think the submersible aquarium heater I'm using in that last video are kinda "one size fits all". The temp is adjustable. You should be able to get one first under $20, doesn't have to be very powerful.
Ok buddy , I’ve got several nice flushes using your wood pellets!! They are really upturning instead of down turning??? Is that ok? Wish I could send you a pic
For the most part, I prefer not to sterilize substrate and opt for easier low energy pasteurization techniques using lightly supplemented or unsupplemented substrates. This strain underperformed in terms of yield on straight wood pellets, but yield really wasn't the goal here. I was more looking for a baseline of how it compares to other strains I grow. With the right strains and techniques, you can actually get solid yields with very little supplementation.
Supplements like wheat bran or soy hulls would increase yields for sure, but I think in this case the strain I captured just happens to be not particularly high yielding.
You want to trap some air in there for sure to make it easy to shake the bags to mix your spawn in, but it doesn't have to be totally inflated like a balloon.
I haven't tried it yet, but it is prevalent in my area and is one of the only mushrooms that will grow on black locust. It should culture readily, most of the shelf polypores do. I haven't read much about, but I'm guessing it would have good medicinal properties.
Good job man. You just keep getting better and better. Btw, I'm doing a block giveaway on my friends channel to 16 lucky people if you or any of your followers would be interested. I also would like to send you a free thing of cultures one day
That's mostly what it's known for in the herbal/medicinal world. I would say I don't consume enough to reap any of the benefits. I should probably eat more, because who couldn't use a little improvement in cognitive function.
I've noticed that you now have ads on some of your best videos. They take up a 3rd of the screen 😮 Of course comments on those have been turned off. All for the love of money, what a shame 😢

Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video
Nice work brother
Hey Renegade, great video as always!! Thanks for sharing the process with us and keep up the great work!!
Thank you Brother. Great tutorial as always.
Thanks for watchin as always 👊

That's great, I think it's best when you can cultivate strains and species that are native to your area. Nice work 👊
Great information. I like that you went from start to finish. I especially like the idea to add wheat bran to the grain spawn. I’ll definitely try that on my next run. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for watching, the bran spawn is a good trick. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
Nice experiment. Small but still beautiful.
Nice video - packed 6 months into 19:16 👍🏆
It was a lot of editing 😅 thank you I'm glad you liked it.
Very cool video! Awesome 😊
Awesome vid my friend. Thank you for your time.
Agar plate may not be needed. You can try to put a small piece into sterile grain bottle and it will grow fine. I did it with store bought oyster.

Awesome, lucidum is one of my favorite species to grow and usually cultures easily. I hope it works out for you.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I plan to do this here in Alaska this year.
Awesome, I hope you have success. I had alot of fun with this process.
Awesome as usual!
Thanks for watching and commenting 👊
Hey Renegade, just found your channel. Wow We dry our mushrooms here in Alberta and we breathe the healthy molecules.amazing results Thank you
Cool, glad you found the channel. Thanks for watching 👊
Also trying to get the word out for breathing the molecules hope you help Thank you
Can you elaborate on "breathing the healthy molecules..."?@@worldsfastestube7302

Awesome 👍 Still crazy to me that this actually works.
It's a fun process, but it takes patience. I've practiced a lot and gotten better at it over the last couple years.

What size of aquarium heater should I purchase for a monotub?
Thanks!
I think the submersible aquarium heater I'm using in that last video are kinda "one size fits all". The temp is adjustable. You should be able to get one first under $20, doesn't have to be very powerful.

Is that ok?

Why dont you use supplemented blocks?
For the most part, I prefer not to sterilize substrate and opt for easier low energy pasteurization techniques using lightly supplemented or unsupplemented substrates. This strain underperformed in terms of yield on straight wood pellets, but yield really wasn't the goal here. I was more looking for a baseline of how it compares to other strains I grow. With the right strains and techniques, you can actually get solid yields with very little supplementation.
I wonder is there a supplement that would increase the yield, or is it just genetics that gives lower a lower yield?
Great video,
Thanks for sharing!
Supplements like wheat bran or soy hulls would increase yields for sure, but I think in this case the strain I captured just happens to be not particularly high yielding.
Can the Ear of Judas be cultivated?
Yes, liquid culture syringes of that species are fairly easy to find online. It can be grown on hardwood logs or sawdust.
How much air should you use in the bags ?
You want to trap some air in there for sure to make it easy to shake the bags to mix your spawn in, but it doesn't have to be totally inflated like a balloon.
Have you been Able to spawn phellinus rimosus
I haven't tried it yet, but it is prevalent in my area and is one of the only mushrooms that will grow on black locust. It should culture readily, most of the shelf polypores do. I haven't read much about, but I'm guessing it would have good medicinal properties.
I found this a couple days ago... beautiful rhizomorphic growth on WaTeR!! The myda is tomotose...i dont get it!
Also, if using bran,..how much to add to each quart of oats?
I don't really measure, I just sprinkle it in and mix until the moisture looks right, but I would say around 2 tablespoons.
Good job man. You just keep getting better and better. Btw, I'm doing a block giveaway on my friends channel to 16 lucky people if you or any of your followers would be interested. I also would like to send you a free thing of cultures one day
What's your friend's channel? I would love to try some of your cultures some day.

@@anthonysurrency7134 cool, I will check it out.
Do you feel the effects of taking this mushroom, does it improve your cognitive function?
That's mostly what it's known for in the herbal/medicinal world. I would say I don't consume enough to reap any of the benefits. I should probably eat more, because who couldn't use a little improvement in cognitive function.

Love the content!.... but antibiotics are a big no no
Why do you think antibiotics in agar a no-no? Are you just saying in general with the whole antibiotic resistant super bug thing?
