>>2532589Thanks man. From my understanding, a pressure canner is required to pressurize and sterilize the substrate in preparation for inoculation right? Is it used to sterilize the agar too? Are there alternatives to pressure canners i.e. pressure cookers or is it not high enough pressure to sterilize? Getting a pressure canner here costs almost $400 USD here
>>2531933thanks, is there a reliable source of spores/agar powder/petri dishes you know of? Can you just use a agar petri dish to long-term store mycelium or does it have to be slants? are there alternatives to long term storage of myceium?
