Potato, infusion from [dilute to 1L total] Dextrose Yeast extract Agar Distilled water (dH2O)

Gently boil for ten minutes or until the solution is clear. Autoclave 15 min at 121C. [13] Malt Extract Agar (3%)(MEA)(General Microbiology)(FDA M93) ---------------------------------------------------------30 g Malt extract 20 g Agar 1 L Distilled water Boil to dissolve ingredients. Avoid overheating, which causes softening of agar and darkening of medium color. Autoclave 15 min at 121C. Dispense 20-25 ml into s terile 15 x 100 mm petri dishes. Final pH, 5.5 0.2. This medium is recommended as a general maintenance medium. [1] Malt Extract Agar with Yeast (2%)(MEAY) ----------------------------------20 g extra light malt extract 2 g yeast 15-20 g agar 1 L water [10] Sabouraud's Dextrose Broth and Agar (SabDex or SDA)(FDA M133) -----------------------------------------------------40 g Dextrose 10 g Polypeptone or neopeptone 1 L Distilled water Dissolve completely and dispense 40 ml portions into screw-cap bottles. Final p H, 5.8. Autoclave 15 min at 118-121C. Do not exceed 121C. For Sabouraud's dextrose agar, prepare broth as above and add 15-20 g agar, depe nding on gel strength desired. Final pH, 5.6 0.2. Dispense into tubes for slants and bottles or flasks for pouring plates. Autoclave 15 min at 118-121 C. [1] Sabouraud Dextrose (SabDex) Agar is used for the isolation, cultivation, and mai ntenance of saprophytic and pathogenic yeasts and fungi. SabDex Agar is an excellent substitute for Malt or Potato Dextrose Agar, when us ed by mushroom cultivators to propagate mushroom mycelium. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar was described by Sabouraud in 1892 and was used for the identification of fungi based on their morphological characteristics. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is a standard medium used to support the growth of yeasts and mol ds. It supplies peptone as the protein source and dextrose as the carbohydrate source for nourishment. Bacterial suppression occurs due to the low pH. This m edia is especially suited for the primary isolation of fungi from normally steri le sites such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Later, Emmons modified the medium by decreasing the dextrose content and adjusti ng the pH closer to the neutral range. This modification enhances sporulation a

nd is particularly useful for the subculture of fungi that so not develop fruiti ng structures on other media, and so is useful in their identification. It also serves as a good holding medium for stock cultures. [3] -----------------B. Special Blends -----------------"Karo Water" (Corn Syrup Broth) ----------------------------1 Teaspoon Light Corn Syrup (Karo Syrup or store brand Light Corn Syrup) 100 ml Purified Water Mix well until dissolved, sterilize for 20-30 minutes at 15 psi. [17] "Dextrose Tek" Liquid Media (Corn Sugar Broth) ---------------------------------------------1 Teaspoon Powdered Dextrose (corn sugar) 75 ml water [17] Honey Water (Mycotopia Honey Tek) --------------------------------40 g Honey (or roughly 1 tablespoon per pint of water) 1 L Water The correct mixture for optimum results is 4% sugars (honey) by weight and 96% w ater. Water weighs 1 gram per cc/ml so if you use 100 ml as total weight, then 96 gram s/ml/cc of water is mixed with 4 grams of honey, etc. Sterilize for 30 min at 121C (15 psi). [14] Malt-Yeast-Peptone Agar (McKenna's MYP) --------------------------------------7 g malt extract (powdered or syrup) 1 g peptone or soytone 0.5 g yeast extract 15 g agar [11] Malt Yeast Peptone Agar (Stamets MYP) ------------------------------------20 g extra light malt extract 1 g yeast extract 1 g peptone 15-20 g agar 1 L water [10] Grey Cardboard (instead of agar) -------------------------------Here are the detailed steps for making cardboard plates. Note that you can also use small jars in place of Petri dishes. 1) Measure about 100 mls. of tap water into a small jar. 2) For nutrients, , measure another 100 mls. of tap water into a second jar and add one drop of ordinary soy sauce to the water, and a quarter teaspoon (1.25 ml

s.) of molasses or light malt powder. 3) Find some gray cardboard, the thicker the better, preferably gray on both sid es. Trace a Petri plate onto the cardboard with a pencil and cut out several dis ks to fit into your plates. 4) Weigh one of your disks and record the weight. Multiply this weight by a fact or of 1.3 as a rough guide (you may need to experiment with the amounts here), a nd add the resulting weight of tap water or nutrient solution to each disk in it s Petri plate. (Remember, 1 ounce of water equals 28.35 grams; one gram equals o ne milliliter.) Example: Suppose my disks weighed 0.17 ounces each. Multiplying 0.17 by 1.3, I get 0.22 ounces. There are 28.35 grams in an ounce, so 0.22 ounce s x 28.35 equals 6.3 grams. That means I'll add 6.3 milliliters of solution to e ach disk. 5) Close up the disks in the plates, and let the water or nutrient solution soak in. 6) Pressure-sterilize the jar of plain water, and the Petri plates with moistene d newsprint disks inside, for 10 minutes at 15 psi (allowing the cooker to equil ibrate steam for 10 minutes before putting on the pressure regulator). 7) Cool the cooker, and remove the plates and jar of plain water. 8) When the water has cooled, add 3.3 mls. 3% peroxide to the jar, using a paste urized pipette, to give you a final concentration of about 0.1% peroxide in ster ile water. 9) Add about one third of the initial weight of the cardboard as 0.1% peroxide t o each disk. Let the solution soak completely into the disks. They are now ready to use. [23] Oatmeal Flake Agar -----------------75 g Oatmeal flakes 20-25 g Agar 1 L water Stir for 5-10 minutes then filter out the larger particles by pouring it through some mesh, save the broth. [Then add the agar] This is the best medium for Panaeolus cyanescens I've ever encountered. Beware, this medium will be less firm than the other recipes so extra agar has to be add ed to compensate. [22] Moonflower's Rice Malt-Alfalfa-Brewer's Yeast Agar -------------------------------------------------1 cup alfalfa, infusion from 2 cups rice, infusion from 1 standard dolomite (oyster shell-crushed) tablet 1 pkg of regular baker's yeast Prepare infusion using approx. 1 1/2 quarts of clean water. Mix in the alfalfa a nd rice, then allow to soak for 2 hours at room temp with occasional stirring. F ilter or strain before adding the infusion. Prepare yeast by activating in water for around 30 minutes, then strain out soli d yeast grains. Sterilize in pressure cooker for 20 minutes at 15lbs. This media is reported to produce more "banding" than other media. Will support luxuriant mycelial growth, it is also more than sufficient for starting spores. [19] MycoPsycho's Liquid Mycelial Culture Broth ------------------------------------------

1/2 tsp malt (2.5 ml) 3/4 cup water 1. procure a half-pint jar w/ lid & ring and also a spore syringe. 2. drill/punch a hole in the center of the lid large enough for the syringe. 3. mix 3/4 cup of water with 1/2 tsp.(2.5 ml.) malt. 4. put lid & ring on and put aluminum foil over the top of that and then Pressur e Cook (PC) for 20 min. @ 15 psi. , when finished let cool to below 90 degrees F . 5. once cool, setup your sterile environment (flow hood, glove box or even your oven will work) with an alcohol lamp, extra alcohol in a dish, paper towels/napk ins, small round bandaid and lastly the spore syringe. 6. remove the foil from the jar, shake the needle and then sterilize the point w ith the alcohol lamp (get it red hot), cool the needle with a wipe & some alcoho l and then inject 1-2 cc/mil spore solution into the jar. 7. once injected wipe the needle w/alcohol and put the guard back on it. 8. cover injection site w/ round bandaid (thanks for that tip magash!). 9. put the jars in your incubator set at 82-84 degrees F. for 4-14 days, you sho uld notice growth by then. 10. sterilize empty syringes in your PC for 15-20 @ 15 psi. 11. remove the bandaid from the jar, sterilize your needle again and then suck m yc solution into empty syringe(s) for use on PF style jars or substrate bags.
