To experiment more with mycelium and find out wich are the best conditions to grow it. Because i think for the paper production i need a lot more mycelium, i needs to be well moisture, for a stable growth, but nor to much medium, so that it can eat up the whole of it and i don´t have to dissolve the medium from the mycelium, because the water is not good for the mycelium either. | ||
Therefore i cooked some old potatoes: | |||

With those mycelium pieces, i inoculated the PDA-medium filled petridishes. I wanted to do each in a different way, to see how i can achive the best result to produce paper from it. Therefore i varied the amount of medium and sometimes put the mycelium upside down in the medium. Additionally i wanted to know if the mycelium maybe grows better in the closet than in the oven. So i put of every kind one in the oven and one in the closet to make it comparable and marked it as you can see in the gallery below: | ||

And here again, to compare how the growth differs from oven to closet: | |||

I thought, now its proven: the closet is better than the oven! But Maike said, maybe the process in the oven is just fastened and the contamination sleeps in the closet-petridishes as well. So i decided to wait one more week. To see what happens. | |||
