Advanced Lab Skills

Agar, cloning, and making your own liquid culture, so you never have to buy genetics again. The gateway to the community lab.

Length 4 weeksFormat Lab-basedKit Included
Curriculum (draft)

What you'll learn, week by week

Four weeks to your own maintained genetics: the skills a community lab actually runs on.

Before you start

Courses build in sequence

Intro Mushroom Cultivation is a prerequisite. This course builds directly on the sterile technique and cultivation basics taught there, and class time is too short to re-teach them from scratch.
What you take home

Genetics you never have to buy again

  • Your own maintained genetics

    Agar plates and liquid culture, cloned and stored by your own hand.

  • Lab technique that keeps it clean

    The habits that keep contamination out of a growing culture library.

  • A path into the community lab

    These are the exact skills the shared mycology lab will run on.
