4. 31.10. Halloween. Motivated by the experiences in the last lesson, i started doing something at home. This time i wanted to experiment with growing mycelium in coffee mold. I already had collected some for a time, because on my travels during the summer i had learned to use it instead of dish-soap. In addition i had plucked some fungi caps out of my garden, put them on a piece of paper and waited for them to drop their spores, facing their dead by drying out in my room. | 4. 31.10. Halloween.

So i took put on my new rollerskates (2) and desinfected the whole kitchen with Korn (3), a typical thuringian alcohol. Then I boiled the coffee mold (4) for 15 minutes, maybe longer and put it in a bowl to let it cool down (5). Then i desinfected an old paprika sauce glass with Korn and put the boiled mold inside (6) rotatory with pieces of the dropped spores (7&8-10) and tapped it with kitchen paper. In the end i heated my oven to 50 degrees, let it cool down and then stored the glass in it with circulating air (11). Later that day i went to the lab to put in in the real machine. | So i took put on my new rollerskates (2) and desinfected the whole kitchen with Korn (3), a typical thuringian alcohol.

5. Day. We started a Analization of our DNA. Means: gargle a sodium solution and then pipet a lot. I don´t know what and maybe even Miga does not really know. We follow the instruction. I think we seperated our DNA.. | |||
This is a photo of my last experiment, 1 week later: | |||
