Protocol [to be added soon]
Step 1:
Step 2: Find you live mycelium mixture baggie in your kit and the black strawberry field plastic. Spray the plastic with isopropyl alcohol and wipe down and place onto your clean surface (foil or cookie tray) Step 3: Spray and clean scissors.

Step 4: Fill two petri dishes with the mycelium (don't over fill) . Add one of the plastic strips to it. Close the lid and label it with date and contents. Step 5: Fill another petri dish with mycelium and add the other piece of strawberry plastic on top. Close the lid and label with date and contents. Step 6: Place both petri dishes in a plastic baggie that has an air gap and place in a paper bag or a cardboard box . Place in a warm spot in the house where it won't be disturbed. ............................................................................................................................................................................... Step 7: Every other day, check and log the changes and photograph. What do you think you should keep track of in the log? Step 8: After a month or so, remove from the petri dish. Step 10. leave out in a dry bright area to dry for a few days. Cut open. Was any of the plastic digested? |
