Azuzena showed us, what other people had already done. What stuck in my mind, was that you can heat mycelium and it will keep it´s form. For example in bricks or leather. | Azuzena showed us, what other people had already done. What stuck in my mind, was that you can heat mycelium and it will keep it´s form.

Under the instructions of Azuzena i inoculated my first medium with spores. It was 15 minutes boiled cardboard. The container we used to store it, was ironically a blue supermarket Champignon box. After the Inoculation, wich in this case only means, to put a peace of wood with spores in it, between two or three sheets of hot cardboard. And then leave it in the oven, that is not called oven. | Under the instructions of Azuzena i inoculated my first medium with spores. It was 15 minutes boiled cardboard.

here will be a photo of the fungi I plucked | |||
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 ( | So i took put on my new rollerskates (3) and desinfected the whole kitchen with Korn (4), a typical thuringian alcohol. Then I boiled the coffee mold (5) for 15 minutes, maybe longer and put it in a bowl to let it cool down (6). Then i desinfected an old paprika sauce glass with Korn and put the boiled mold inside (7) rotatory with pieces of the dropped spores (8&9-11) 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 (12). Later that day i went to the lab to put in in the real machine. | ||
Here will be the pictures 3-12 | |||
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.. | 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.

9. 30.11.17 I met with Jan in the Lab, because he had a lot of PDA (Potatostarch-Dextrose-Agar) medium, he offered me to use for the first try. | 9. 30.11.17 I met with Jan in the Lab, because he had a lot of PDA (Potatostarch-Dextrose-Agar) medium, he offered me to use for the first try. | ||
