Y’all’s new video on LC had me thinking about a few things I’ve been messing with. One, is there any real problem with pouring LC over injecting it? Using the needles seems wasteful and a contamination risk in some ways. Especially reusing without a zapper.

Two, Can you feed an LC jar with fresh broth, like kombucha? I’ve used lc from an old jar to make a new one. I know you are loosing a generation vs going back to the master plate but sometimes it seems easier and not necessary if it’s right out of Cryo

Nope no problem at all with pouring the LC instead of injecting it. Just if you are gonna open the lid make sure you are right in front of that flowhood.

That is definitely a possibility. The eventual idea for us is that by letting that mycelium generate in the LC while consistently feeding it new broth, we can create a sort of hockey puck of mycelium forming on the bottom.

I think Erik is planning on doing another video once we get the cultures up and running about this. This is just what I gathered from talking to him about the LC setup.
