By the way, I’ve heard that it’s a bad idea to use old substrate to kick off new growth due to how mycelium ages or something or other. Is the same not true for grain to grain spawn growth? I’m new to the hobby so forgive my ignorance
Oh, you’re talking about senescence. New growers are always concerned with it. G2G transfers are generally good to do about 3-4 times, could be more depending on the genetics and the quantity of grain spawn.
This one is my second G2G, it should still fruit nicely, but next generation I’ll probably start from spores again.
It was actually a grain to grain transfer but yeah you’re correct, I started with mycelium and not spores.
Sounds like you’re just getting to the exciting part! Share some pictures if you can, I’d love to see!
