  Day 90. Reishi Cloning on AgarSame day actions - right after harvestingJust for fun, I decided to clone one of the fastest, strongest and the most beautiful Reishi fruits on agar.Note: Cloning is not a necessary part of mushroom cultivation.I prepared agar plates (potato dextrose yeast agar PDYA recipe) a few days before harvesting to be sure they are contam-free.Then placed everything I need for cloning in Still Air Box (SAB): agar cups/petri dishes, scalpel with sterile blades, grafting tape (I use it instead of parafilm) and the mushroom itself.To make cloning I tore mushroom apart and cut a piece of inner tissue using a disposable sterile scalpel blade.Then place it onto agar surface.And repeat these actions to make several plates.The photos were taken through SAB, so they are a lil bit blurry:
