Via reverse-engineering I extract the strand from the product sold. The strands will be available at an exhibition. | Via reverse-engineering I extract the strand from the product sold. The strands will be available at an exhibition. | ||

Seven dishes per strand. PDA- medium. The scalpel is sterilized in a hot flame till it glows red. It then is cooled in the receiving petri dish. | Seven dishes per strand. PDA- medium. The scalpel is sterilized in a hot flame till it glows red. It then is cooled in the receiving petri dish. | ||
The mushroom is ripped apart in the middle. Tissue then is taken from just above the gills, it is inserted in the hole that the hot scalpel made. | The mushroom is ripped apart in the middle. Tissue then is taken from just above the gills, it is inserted in the hole that the hot scalpel made. | ||
The dishes are labeled and incubated at room temperature (23°-25° C). The mycelium that emerges is purified by running it through subsequent petri dishes till clean and strong. Then it is stored in test-tubes filled with PDA- medium at temperatures below 5°C. Two tubes per strand, enveloped in a zip-loc-bag. | The dishes are labeled and incubated at room temperature (23°-25° C).
