For the preparation were used: - 380 ml of diced and boiled Potatoes - 7 g of Dextrose - 7.6 g of Agar
- Day 2:
- Whit the Potatoe Dextrose Agar (PDA) made on the first day we cultivate/make a clone of Armillaria Gallica.
The first three samples are left in different environments in order to test which kind of conditions they prefer in order to grow. The first sample is left in a sunny place with a temperature of around 18°C, the second sample is left in a partially illuminated environment with a temperature of around 16°C-17°C and the third sample is left in total darkness with a temperature of around 19°C.
The fourth sample is left in the laboratory in total darkness (possibility of light if the doors of the closet are open).
