πŸ“ Introduction to Mycology Terminology

The speaker begins by introducing various terms used in mycology, focusing on 'tpcf Ms and WT'. They explain that 'WT' stands for 'wild type' and 'Ms' stands for 'multipore', often referring to a multipore syringe. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding these terms, especially within the home mycology community. They also mention the use of 'F' for 'filial generation' and 'P' for 'passage', noting that 'T' stands for 'transfer' or 'subculturing', a common practice in mycology. The speaker acknowledges the complexity of these terms and the variations in their usage, hinting at the need for clarification and further discussion.

05:01

πŸ” Deep Dive into Transfer and Passage Numbers

The speaker delves deeper into the concepts of 'transfer' and 'passage' numbers, explaining that 'T0' typically signifies the starting point with spores, while 'T1', 'T2', and so on represent subsequent transfers. They clarify that 'passage' implies a more significant growth and division of mycelium before transfer. The speaker also touches on the historical use of these terms, referencing Paul Stamets' work and the distinction between 'passage' and 'transfer' in the broader scientific community. They emphasize the importance of labeling and understanding one's own system for tracking these numbers, regardless of external debates or variations in terminology.

10:02

🌱 Discussing Cloning and Isolates in Mycology

The speaker discusses the terms 'clone' and 'isolate', explaining that 'C' stands for 'clone' and is used to denote a specific piece of mycelium taken from a culture. They mention 'ISO' as a shorthand for 'isolate', which is often used interchangeably with 'clone'. The speaker also introduces the concept of 'F' numbers, which represent 'filial generations', and begins to explain the significance of these numbers in tracking the genetic stability and progression of a culture. They provide examples of how these terms might be used in labeling and discuss the potential for controversy surrounding the use of 'F' numbers, particularly in the context of naming and stabilizing strains.

15:06

🌟 Understanding the Significance of F Numbers and Wild Types

The speaker continues to elaborate on 'F' numbers, using the term 'filial' to describe generations of organisms. They explain that 'F0' typically represents the wild or parent generation, and each subsequent 'F' number indicates another generation of growth and cloning. The speaker also introduces 'WT' or 'wild type', a term used to describe organisms isolated directly from the wild. They discuss the concept of 'land race' and 'legacy' strains, suggesting a shift in terminology within the community. The speaker acknowledges the complexity of these topics and the potential for further exploration in future discussions.

20:07

🌐 Concluding Thoughts on Mycology Terminology

In the concluding part, the speaker summarizes the key points discussed, including the importance of understanding terms like 'T' for transfer, 'C' for clone, 'F' for filial generations, and 'WT' for wild type. They reiterate the significance of these terms in the context of mycology and the need for clear communication within the community. The speaker also expresses their intention to create more videos to delve deeper into each term and address any questions from the audience. They acknowledge the length of the video and the complexity of the subject matter, promising to break down future discussions for better clarity and understanding.

Keywords

πŸ’‘Multipore Syringe

A multipore syringe is a tool used in mycology for inoculating spores onto agar plates. It has multiple holes, allowing for the distribution of spores across a larger area. In the video, the presenter uses 'Ms' to denote a culture that originated from a multipore syringe, emphasizing the starting point of the fungal culture's lineage.

πŸ’‘Wild Type (WT)

Wild Type (WT) refers to an organism that has not been modified and is found in its natural state. In the context of the video, WT is used to label a culture that has been isolated directly from the wild, indicating its original and unaltered genetic makeup.

πŸ’‘Filial Generation (F)

Filial Generation (F) is a term used to denote the genetic progression of a culture through successive generations. In the video, the presenter explains that 'F' numbers are used to track how many times a culture has been grown from spores, with each new generation indicated by an increment in the F number, such as F1, F2, etc.

πŸ’‘Transfer (T)

Transfer (T) in mycology refers to the process of moving a piece of mycelium from one growth medium to another. The presenter uses 'T' followed by a number to indicate the number of times a culture has been transferred, such as T1, T2, etc., which helps in tracking the age and history of the culture.

πŸ’‘Clone (C)

Clone (C) is used to indicate a genetically identical copy of a culture. In the video, the presenter discusses labeling cultures with 'C' followed by a number to denote different clones derived from a single culture, which can be useful for maintaining genetic consistency across multiple cultures.

πŸ’‘Subculturing

Subculturing is the process of transferring a portion of a microbial culture to a new culture medium. The term is used in the video to describe the act of taking a piece of mycelium and moving it to a new agar plate, which is a common practice in fungal culture maintenance.

πŸ’‘Monocaron

Monocaron (M) refers to a culture that has been derived from a single spore, ensuring genetic uniformity. The presenter briefly mentions monocarons in the video, indicating that 'M' followed by a number could denote the generation of a monocarons culture.

πŸ’‘Isolate

An isolate is a pure sample of an organism that has been separated from other organisms. In the video, the term 'ISO' is used to denote a culture that has been isolated, which is important for maintaining the purity and study of specific fungal strains.

πŸ’‘Meiosis

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating genetic diversity through the production of spores. The presenter explains that spores produced through meiosis are used to increase the F number of a culture, indicating a new generation.

πŸ’‘Spawn

Spawn refers to the mycelium of fungi that is used to inoculate a substrate for growing mushrooms. In the video, the presenter touches on the concept of using spores to create new cultures, which can then be used as spawn for further cultivation.

Transcripts

play00:02

hello everybody I wanted to go through

play00:04

some terms today uh looks like the

play00:06

things the recording uh I wrote all

play00:09

these up here I don't know I was kind of

play00:10

hesitant maybe I do need a bigger a

play00:12

bigger whiteboard uh but this is

play00:15

tpcf Ms and WT uh before I forget WT

play00:20

stands for wild type Ms stands for

play00:22

multipore often there's a multipore

play00:25

syringe like an S um and there can be

play00:27

various other letters in this a BRI

play00:30

viation but MSS or Ms that stands for

play00:33

multipore I'll come back to that here in

play00:34

a second but for right now I want to

play00:35

start at the top so F stands for filial

play00:38

Generation Um that's F let's see I

play00:42

probably should have wrote some of this

play00:43

stuff down here might have to erase some

play00:46

of this stuff so I'm going to write it

play00:47

now before I forget um for clarity P

play00:49

stands for passage and I'm going to get

play00:51

to that in a second so I won't write it

play00:53

t stands for transfer okay and there's a

play00:56

bunch of other words that I'm going to

play00:57

throw in so transfer or

play01:02

subculturing uh is what we often

play01:06

use when we're making essentially when

play01:08

we take an agar plate uh and we transfer

play01:11

a piece to a new plate so it's just a

play01:12

generic word the rest of the world uses

play01:15

the term subculture say so if you grow

play01:18

Mamon uh tissue culture like in in agar

play01:21

plates usually in liquid media we we

play01:23

usually refer to that subculturing but

play01:25

for some reason transfer hence the T has

play01:28

has kind of caught on in the mological

play01:29

IC community at least the home mological

play01:32

Community people have all sorts of other

play01:35

slang words but t on plates if you see a

play01:37

t like a T1 T2 T3 um or a t0 so let me

play01:42

let me just start there so t let me

play01:44

switch so what does t0o mean I'm going

play01:47

to have to erase a lot of this stuff you

play01:48

guys my uh aggar or my aggar my uh

play01:51

whiteboard just basically isn't uh big

play01:53

enough to write all this stuff and I

play01:55

don't even I don't even know if I need

play01:56

to go bigger so I'm going to write these

play01:58

things and then I'll probably go back

play02:00

erase them also helps to sort of clear

play02:02

my thoughts to move on the next topic so

play02:04

t0 t0 means essentially you are starting

play02:06

off with spores okay so when you have a

play02:09

Spore print or even maybe a multi-pore

play02:12

syringe uh you shoot it under an agar

play02:14

plate and you label it t0 so the t0 it

play02:16

might have been streaking it might have

play02:18

been a grab and drag so t0 without

play02:20

getting way way way in depth here

play02:22

because all of these terms are loaded

play02:24

with uh kind of special cases and and

play02:26

uses and and different people use them

play02:28

in slightly different ways some times t0

play02:32

is essentially spores so you put spores

play02:33

on an Agger plate okay so what is T1 so

play02:36

T1 when you take um a transfer from that

play02:40

plate of spores or anything else let's

play02:42

say somebody sends you a a a die carry

play02:45

on on a plate you could if you wanted to

play02:48

call that t0 like so that would be like

play02:50

your master culture or whatever again I

play02:52

don't really like that that term Master

play02:54

culture not only do have negative kind

play02:56

of connotations historically but it also

play02:59

I it just sounds kind of like very very

play03:02

like in the box like this is the only

play03:03

culture I ever use and that's often not

play03:06

the case uh when you start getting into

play03:08

into this you'll you'll realize that

play03:09

there is no such thing as like you know

play03:11

a master like blue Vuitton or a master

play03:14

GT they just don't exist so for various

play03:17

reasons which could take hours to

play03:19

explain um but T1 means essentially

play03:22

you've taken your aggar plate and you

play03:23

cut off a little piece you know let's

play03:25

say that's your t0 so you take your

play03:27

little square your Ager Punch or

play03:29

whatever you want to use and you put it

play03:30

onto a new plate

play03:31

mhm so that would be your T1 simple as

play03:35

that so you do that again then you got

play03:36

your T2 Etc sorry guys I'm writing again

play03:40

at a kind of an awkward angle here so if

play03:42

my my uh my my so um subculturing so we

play03:47

use in the in the rest of the world they

play03:49

talk about passage numbers so here's

play03:52

where things get a little bit tricky

play03:54

because passages H I believe in Paul

play03:57

stam's old old books you know the the

play03:59

mushroom cultivator the TMC and uh what

play04:02

is it was H growing Gourmet and

play04:05

medicinal mushrooms the ggmm not the mmm

play04:09

mmgg which is magic mushroom Growers

play04:11

guide so the Paul stamitz book um the

play04:13

the growing Gourmet and M and medicinal

play04:16

mushrooms uh he uses the term passage so

play04:20

it's it's kind of a little bit

play04:21

unfortunately it's kind of a slightly

play04:23

different concept uh than than transfer

play04:26

transfer is literally it just means a

play04:28

transfer um so let's let's say if your

play04:30

your plate here let's just say you had

play04:32

your mycelium you know and you take you

play04:34

can take a transfer at any time you know

play04:36

your uh your little mycelial uh spot

play04:39

here might only be you know maybe a

play04:41

centimeter half an inch wide so that

play04:44

would be appropriate to say you know

play04:45

you're transferring it and go from t0 to

play04:47

T1 Etc passage is a little bit different

play04:50

because passage kind of implies that

play04:52

you've let this melium grow to the edge

play04:54

of the plate so you can do some math and

play04:57

figure out how many mitotic divisions

play04:59

have occurred so that's where kind of

play05:00

Passage it's like you're passaging the

play05:02

edge of this so and then so it gets a

play05:05

little bit more complicated uh if you

play05:08

take your transfer from here or you take

play05:10

your transfer from here uh you know and

play05:13

you make a new plate this is kind of a

play05:15

different scenario because that melium

play05:18

right there is older it's obviously gone

play05:20

through more mitotic division so then we

play05:21

get back into the idea of sidence I

play05:24

don't even want to get that's a whole

play05:25

other video in it of itself um so Paul

play05:28

Stam it sometimes it's p number like

play05:30

Paul um it actually refers to passage um

play05:33

it's it's an old term that people use

play05:35

you know just like you're crossing the

play05:36

Atlantic or whatever you know from

play05:38

Europe to America it's a passage um so

play05:41

again that gets into syence and all

play05:43

kinds of stuff that's not the topic of

play05:44

this video because otherwise I'm trying

play05:46

to make this about 15 minutes and it'll

play05:49

uh it'll turn into three hours very very

play05:52

shortly if I if I'm not

play05:55

careful so let's move on so let's just

play05:57

forget about that one so we got that one

play05:59

done okay there you go done well that's

play06:02

really enough again I could have made

play06:03

whole videos about each one of these

play06:05

things I just want to know um I just

play06:07

want to you know when you see a plate

play06:08

that says you know

play06:10

t0 you know Ms I always label mine Ms

play06:14

too because my multipore I know it's t0

play06:16

but I put Ms just so I don't forget and

play06:19

you might see something like uh well

play06:21

this would probably you wouldn't put an

play06:22

F number we'll get down to that in a

play06:24

second here um that's a little bit more

play06:27

complicated but let's let's just stick

play06:28

with the basic um for right now so let's

play06:31

add another thing here let's say you put

play06:33

uh you got a C on there so you've got t

play06:36

w okay this is look this let's not make

play06:39

things um a little bit more complicated

play06:42

than you need to be um you know the most

play06:45

important thing in all of this you guys

play06:46

is that you understand what it means on

play06:49

your plates uh unless you're selling

play06:50

plates or trading plates it's not really

play06:52

necessary for other people to be honest

play06:55

to understand what your your system is

play06:57

as long as you understand it remember

play06:59

this is for your inh house use um so

play07:02

however you want to do this it's up to

play07:03

you really people get in really really

play07:05

heated debates you know on online about

play07:08

like oh you know especially the F number

play07:10

that's like a whole whole whole like

play07:13

controversy there um I may get into that

play07:15

a little bit later I'll probably try to

play07:17

stay away from it so let's say you got a

play07:19

uh let's say you have a plate disbled T3

play07:21

okay that means transfer three so that

play07:23

means you know wherever you got it from

play07:25

maybe you got a plate and you've

play07:26

transferred it so you got a you could

play07:28

call it a t0 plate your bu gave you that

play07:30

it's T1 T2 T3 or he might have had a

play07:33

label on it already or she right maybe

play07:35

they gave you a plate where that was a

play07:36

label T2 and you subcultured it or you

play07:39

you transferred it so you let make it

play07:41

T3 um so it would be let's say T3 and it

play07:44

has says something like F4

play07:48

C1 okay so obviously let's just let's

play07:51

just use blue Vuitton for since I that's

play07:54

the only one that's popping in my head

play07:55

right now and a date uh today I believe

play07:57

is the 9th so it's May 9th I use

play08:01

um I I use the the the kind of rest of

play08:04

the world use it goes date month year so

play08:07

this would be May May 9th 2024 what the

play08:09

hell does all this mean okay so again I

play08:11

made I might could have started with

play08:13

this but let's say you got this covered

play08:15

T's already um f we'll get to in a

play08:18

second so the C1 what does that mean

play08:20

well C stands for

play08:21

clone okay so I didn't write it should

play08:24

be fairly obvious right uh just like in

play08:26

the Cannabis world you know you cut off

play08:28

top of a apical marem or or whatever

play08:31

you're doing you know it could even come

play08:33

from a tissue culture that's a whole

play08:34

other thing I want to get into later you

play08:36

know you can tissue culture and grow uh

play08:38

tissue explants from Cannabis and all

play08:40

kinds of other plants in the same way we

play08:42

do fungi so once you learn how to do

play08:44

this in fungi it's equally applicable to

play08:47

mamalian cell culture as well as um you

play08:50

know plant culture plant tissue culture

play08:52

so that kind of is another broad term I

play08:54

don't know what people like to call it

play08:56

but you may hear the term like tissue

play08:58

culture or t C this stands for

play09:02

tissue

play09:04

culture okay so if you hear that word TC

play09:07

or if you see it in the literature um

play09:09

that's what it refers to so we love

play09:11

acronyms man I I hate you know I kind of

play09:13

hate it but they're they're just kind of

play09:15

a necessity because if I keep saying

play09:17

tissue culture you know to somebody who

play09:19

already knows I mean you know TC is

play09:21

tissue culture they're going to get kind

play09:22

of like frustrated be like why don't you

play09:23

just say TC or if I keep saying transfer

play09:26

three the third transfer you know it's

play09:28

kind of hard to write it on plate too so

play09:30

that's part of the I mean it's just

play09:32

convenient right we need to we only only

play09:34

not sew you know maybe 3 in or 90 mm or

play09:36

whatever to write everything uh on a

play09:39

plate and you know maybe your Sharpie is

play09:41

a little bit duller than it should be

play09:42

and you know you start writing this

play09:44

stuff and you're like who uh some people

play09:46

again I should go back to that some

play09:48

people like um you know some people like

play09:50

writing on the edge of the plate I don't

play09:52

suggest that you guys I would put it

play09:54

right up on the top so as an example

play09:56

here now no I got a a Dion from somebody

play09:59

and I grew that out um and so I just

play10:02

labeled that arbitrarily I oh I hope

play10:04

that focusing things um I I was so

play10:06

instead of writing C1 I wrote actually

play10:08

F1 clone I don't know I was feeling

play10:10

verbose that day um so there's like six

play10:13

little pieces of of tissue there I don't

play10:15

know how well you can see that but

play10:16

they're they're growing out nicely and

play10:18

so later on so I could call this you

play10:21

know nuk F1 C1 t i could Pro I would

play10:25

probably call it T1 um and then maybe

play10:28

the next one I call T2 you can call it

play10:30

t0 if you want I don't know it's really

play10:32

up to you um but anyways uh I was I know

play10:35

exactly what this is again that's that's

play10:37

kind of a a good point is that like if

play10:39

you I only have one nanuk culture or

play10:42

nanuk um I think this is from Dave I

play10:44

only have one of these so I don't have

play10:46

to get all like and I know it's from

play10:48

Dave he gave it a name I'm gonna I'm

play10:49

going to call it in a Nook like so I

play10:51

don't need to really worry about F

play10:53

numbers and all that later but you

play10:55

know my next plate when I get spores

play10:57

I'll get back to that so that when I get

play11:00

spores uh when I fruited it and get

play11:01

spores from this this will become an F2

play11:04

and then I'll drop the drop the Clone

play11:06

part but before we okay I should

play11:10

probably I just saw another one of my

play11:11

plates you might see M okay so

play11:14

m equals

play11:17

monoculture uh monoc Caron oops so M is

play11:22

for monoc Caron I just saw that on one

play11:24

of my plates over there and I don't want

play11:25

to get into that again in this video

play11:27

kind of did that on the last videos but

play11:29

if you see like an

play11:31

M1 um or M2 or whatever that refers to

play11:34

Mono Caron but I don't really want to

play11:36

get into that today that's a whole

play11:37

different

play11:38

topic um so clone so c means clone so

play11:42

you could have C2 C3 let's say you ran a

play11:45

multiport tub and you know you might get

play11:47

six or seven phenos another word I don't

play11:50

want to get in but phenotype and

play11:52

genotype that's another whole video um

play11:54

so so that that P or whatever you know

play11:57

that that's for passage we don't really

play11:58

use that so let me just get rid of that

play12:00

right now we don't really use passage

play12:02

numbers unless you're Paul stamitz or

play12:04

one of the people that works for funai

play12:05

perfectti we don't really use P numbers

play12:08

um so we just stick with

play12:10

T's um there's some historical reason

play12:13

for that but again I don't need to get

play12:14

into that so we' we've covered C clone

play12:17

so what about these other terms ISO ISO

play12:19

is short for isolate so an isolate or a

play12:22

clone I these kind of terms usually get

play12:26

kind of used

play12:27

interchangeably and then for people

play12:29

especially who are first starting out

play12:31

the The Strain you might say BV uh

play12:34

strain has a more specific meaning

play12:36

strain in in most of the rest of the

play12:38

biological world is synonymous with

play12:40

isolate so let's you have a let's say

play12:42

you have a strain of ecoli that's

play12:45

pathogenic um now maybe a strain might

play12:48

be in multiple places so you know if

play12:50

somebody gets uh well you get sick from

play12:52

the from from the salad bar and somebody

play12:54

else gets sick from sick from The Burger

play12:56

Joint somebody else gets sick from The

play12:58

Shake Shop you might say that's you know

play13:00

the strain of eoli what what what is it

play13:03

I forgot the name of that 189 or

play13:05

whatever it was um whereas in in the

play13:07

mushroom world at least an ISO generally

play13:09

means an isolate so that's kind of

play13:12

synonymous with clone people will often

play13:15

sometimes mix these things and it's it's

play13:18

kind of you got to guess kind of how

play13:19

they're using it uh I that's why I

play13:22

adopted the term cultigen so in the

play13:24

mushroom World strain used to be

play13:26

something like a B+ a GT a blue Vuitton

play13:29

on that terminology is kind of faded a

play13:32

little bit because strain normally

play13:33

refers to a a particular isolate of a

play13:37

particular

play13:38

cultigen and then again see how this is

play13:40

already getting very very very messy so

play13:43

I would say the cultigen for this is

play13:45

blue Vuitton it's the second clone that

play13:47

I took from a maybe a multiport tub so

play13:50

I've grown fruit and I've Clon those

play13:52

fruits and obviously I would have a C1

play13:54

and then this is my C2 and my C3 I don't

play13:57

know unless you want to start numbering

play13:58

back CS or whatever and you call it

play14:01

anything you want uh and the F4 that

play14:04

would be the generation so let me get to

play14:05

that next so what the hell so I'm just

play14:08

going to erase that you guys so I don't

play14:10

I keep backtracking and I want to say

play14:12

more about these things but let me just

play14:13

uh erase these so I don't I don't like

play14:16

divert my attention here so what the

play14:19

hell is an F number F stands for filial

play14:22

filial it means literally it means

play14:24

brothers and sisters or siblings so let

play14:27

me just write siblings so we don't got

play14:28

to all into that gender

play14:32

let me say just

play14:35

siblings um so what that means it's just

play14:37

literally it's a is an old uh term that

play14:39

means siblings I think it's Greek or

play14:41

Latin or something so F4 um F4 means

play14:46

essentially it's gone through four

play14:48

cycles of kind of uh meiosis so what

play14:52

happens say your mom and dad you get

play14:54

together you have a bunch of brothers

play14:55

and sisters you would call those your

play14:56

siblings now mostly in the in the plant

play14:59

world and the animal world we talk about

play15:02

things like F0 so F0 typically equals

play15:05

your parents okay and I've noticed this

play15:08

this is where I know some people are

play15:09

going to get like really excited about

play15:11

this the parents are usually referred to

play15:15

as the

play15:16

fzero okay so the parents or things that

play15:20

were wild okay so let's go so say you go

play15:23

out in the I don't know in some field in

play15:25

Texas and you pick up a cube or whatever

play15:28

um you come come back and you clone it

play15:30

right so you could call that your F0 and

play15:34

you would that would imply to me that

play15:36

that was something that you got from the

play15:37

wild so you could have a plate that

play15:39

would say like F0 C1 C2 C3 multiple

play15:43

clones from from fruit uh and then you

play15:45

could call that your t0 or your T1 if

play15:48

you wanted to I I tend to like put one

play15:50

like T1 because usually you're starting

play15:52

from some sort of wild Source um so I

play15:55

like I like the transfer I usually start

play15:57

at T1 but if you want to start it t z

play15:59

you can uh and again if you want to do

play16:01

any if there's going to be a lot of

play16:03

people that will disagree with this I

play16:04

don't really care um they shouldn't care

play16:06

because whatever you understand as your

play16:09

system uh is the right way this is one

play16:12

of those where there's like there's

play16:13

really no right way uh and anybody who

play16:16

tells you there is is full of

play16:19

right um so I'm just telling you the the

play16:22

general way and the the kind of most

play16:24

accepted kind of standard way that we do

play16:26

this stuff at least in the home myology

play16:28

community so when you get to so how do

play16:30

you get so a lot of people say like well

play16:32

you need to stabilize something right

play16:34

like how you going to stabilize right

play16:36

you need to stabilize you need to get it

play16:38

to you know your F5 or whatever to

play16:41

stabilize it you know F5 F6 you can't

play16:45

give it a name because it's not

play16:47

stabilized that's you guys

play16:50

because if you see certain very very

play16:52

famous culturs floating around uh now

play16:55

they're at f8 F9 F10 and they're still

play16:57

not stable you guys so um if you're on

play16:59

an F1 and F2 you want to give it a name

play17:02

people are going to give you for it

play17:04

but you know that's very very common in

play17:06

the mushroom Community we're kind of

play17:08

used to it after a while um so what the

play17:10

hell is F5 mean it means filial

play17:13

Generations so this is where a little

play17:14

bit of the controversy comes into

play17:16

because let's say you get a plate uh

play17:18

let's say it's let say this is

play17:21

F2 you want to get it to F3 or F4 F5 how

play17:25

the hell do you do that well the

play17:28

essential thing here is spores you

play17:30

guys spores and

play17:34

meiosis okay so here's the basic idea if

play17:38

I start off with something let's just

play17:39

say it's an F2 so I get a plate it's F2

play17:43

I make some spawn I grow that out and I

play17:45

get spores okay when I germinate those

play17:47

spores I can now say that that's F3 this

play17:50

is where it gets a little tricky because

play17:52

typically F refers to um the F2 or F3 it

play17:56

refers to the whole organism and in

play17:58

animals and plants that means a diploid

play18:01

our funi never form a diploid if you

play18:03

remember we always have like n plus n so

play18:06

we don't get a diploid organism until we

play18:09

make that basidium or that bidia plural

play18:13

uh on the mushroom fruit body so

play18:15

technically our mushrooms um they're not

play18:18

technically we can't we shouldn't

play18:20

actually raise the F number but for a

play18:22

practical purposes you got to assume

play18:24

that if you got an F2 Generation you

play18:26

make spores they've undergone meiosis

play18:29

the subsequent spores the subsequent

play18:31

fruit the subsequent cultures the

play18:33

subsequent um whatever uh can be labeled

play18:36

F3 it's just a practical thing so often

play18:38

time when I get spores I'll double label

play18:41

them so if I take a Spore print I might

play18:43

say F2 spores for me I know that when I

play18:46

germinate those they're going to become

play18:48

the F3 okay so when I take those spores

play18:51

from the F2 and I put them on a new

play18:52

plate and I germinate them I write F3

play18:56

okay that's under the assumption that

play18:57

you're going to take those for you're

play18:58

going to grow them out you're going to

play18:59

make more fruit and then when those

play19:02

fruit undergo meiosis in the bidia

play19:04

they're going to make the F4 so at some

play19:07

point you need to Callum F3 wherever you

play19:09

want to do that is up to you I generally

play19:11

prer to um if I had F2 spores if I

play19:14

germinate them I'm going to label those

play19:16

plates F3 I'm going to label the the

play19:18

spawn and the tub F3 and when I make my

play19:21

new spores I'm going to make that F4 so

play19:25

this is why a lot of the I hate to get

play19:27

kind of controversial but this is is why

play19:28

a lot of the old school um people that

play19:31

don't want you to do they don't want you

play19:33

to catch up okay so let's say your

play19:35

typical mushroom generation goes so

play19:37

that's another word you might see G I'm

play19:39

not going to go there uh G for

play19:41

Generation you'll see that in the

play19:43

literature um we're not going to use

play19:46

that term here because it's not really

play19:47

generally used you may see it in Paul

play19:49

stam's books uh and some of the older

play19:51

literature um these days we kind of

play19:54

because G is a is a a whole other G

play19:57

usually refers to um spawn so when we do

play20:00

G2 G grain to grain the G is actually a

play20:03

reference to Generation Um so if you

play20:06

have a master spawn jar and you turn

play20:09

that into 10 jars and then you take one

play20:12

of those 10 and you expand it again and

play20:14

you do a G2 g g is grain grain to grain

play20:19

um the G if you see it on like a plate

play20:21

or a label it means generation so again

play20:24

if I had a mass Master jar of Spawn and

play20:27

I did g2g anime 10 jars that would be

play20:30

you know the the G2 second generation

play20:34

again if you want to call maybe you're

play20:35

calling the master and then you got G1

play20:37

or G2 however you label it you need to

play20:39

have subsequent numbers you know

play20:41

ascending numbers so so you get the idea

play20:44

there again that this is already getting

play20:46

way more complicated than I thought it

play20:47

was going to

play20:48

be you can write questions down at the

play20:51

bottom uh I might have to do all of

play20:53

these in a more um like a own their own

play20:55

little video and I'm probably up to

play20:56

about yep 20 minutes already oh my

play20:59

goodness so you guys um I'm going to

play21:01

like maybe let me just go I might have

play21:04

to make other videos you guys these

play21:05

videos are getting way too long and I

play21:07

just saw it's at 20 minutes already as

play21:09

you can tell I can I can talk about

play21:11

these topics forever and ever and ever

play21:13

so let's just review real quick here

play21:16

remember we had t for

play21:18

transfer uh we had C for clone and we

play21:21

have f for filial um Ms stands for

play21:24

multipore I talked about that a little

play21:26

bit already terms WT WT means wild type

play21:30

okay so this is again something that

play21:31

doesn't get used in the uh mological

play21:35

Community but I think should because

play21:37

it's a great term um you will see it in

play21:40

the literature talking about bacteria if

play21:41

you isolate something from the wild you

play21:43

call it wild type or WT you little

play21:46

graphs and stuff where they compare like

play21:48

say A you know a wild Cube to you know I

play21:50

don't know Enigma or something like that

play21:52

um you might see

play21:54

WT land race you know all the plant

play21:56

people know that are there Cube Land

play21:58

races anymore probably not um we have

play22:01

moved cattle and other ruminants all

play22:03

around the world and I don't really

play22:05

think this term land race really applies

play22:07

to cubes anymore or cannabis for that

play22:10

matter I like the term Legacy I'm going

play22:12

to try to start using that term a little

play22:14

bit more um so something like you know

play22:16

you would say like oh manami you know

play22:18

from Japan is a a legacy race something

play22:20

like Burma or Cambodia or you know a

play22:23

Koso or something like that um you would

play22:26

say that that was maybe a legacy St rain

play22:28

or a legacy cultigen H my little bugs I

play22:32

never see bugs until I

play22:34

start I don't know what that one is I

play22:37

had the door open earlier in my

play22:39

kitchen started pouring down rain the

play22:42

first big rain we've had this year so

play22:44

the bugs are coming out um any who back

play22:47

multipore land race Legacy um whatever

play22:49

you know whatever word you want to use

play22:51

and finally mono carryon and I think I'm

play22:53

going to end it there you guys

play22:55

because uh I I just realized I'm going

play22:57

to have to go into these terms maybe in

play22:59

way way way more detail but I hope that

play23:01

starts you guys off um somewhere um the

play23:04

other thing is going to take like an

play23:05

hour and a half to upload this to

play23:06

YouTube it's not like the lives where

play23:09

they go directly I actually have to um

play23:10

like upload this to YouTube ah the

play23:13

resolution is much better obviously and

play23:14

I hope it hasn't been doing that Focus

play23:16

thing you guys I know I've been moving

play23:18

around a lot um anyway if you have

play23:20

questions put them down uh below and uh

play23:23

I'll be sure I've got a list I don't

play23:25

know if you guys I got my other

play23:26

whiteboard um I've got this this is the

play23:28

list of

play23:30

videos that I'm going to make

play23:33

so there's going to be a lot of videos

play23:36

like six months ago I was like what what

play23:38

can I possibly make another video about

play23:40

um yeah I've got 16 there and another

play23:43

like 15 pages of ideas on my computer so

play23:46

I hope you guys like that I hope I

play23:47

didn't miss anything too glaringly

play23:49

obvious I probably will uh will notice

play23:52

that I did when I when I rewatch this um

play23:55

but any who you guys I hope you all have

play23:56

a good day and um I will we'll talk to

play23:58

you later for sure bye-bye
