So I have this idea for a grow bag or to just keep your mycellium going non stop so you don't have to grow from a spore or print from scratch.
I decided to use corn, soaked in water for 24 hours then simmered for an hour to make sure it's well hydrated. Drain. Then mix with vermiculite so it's around 50/50. Put into a jar or bag and then pressure cook or bake it. Once it cools down get into your sterile room and add a piece of mycellium from your current batch into the bag or jar. It should colonize rather quickly.
Hey if bird seed can work why wouldn't corn work?
Going to test this tomorrow and post updates in the following days (maybe with pics)
