New page

The simple questions of how mycelia develop are not all fully understood.

This is our first try to find out why you often see 'rings' on your plates...

 From this test, it certainly looks like light is a key determinant, for formation of the obvious growth rings.
-The King Pleurotes even made some extra pigment, it seems from the light exposure!  They are sensitive, as the 'shadow' plate shows a slight ring effect still, unlike the shiitake plate (top left).

 Could it be due to something we do, when we look at them?
 Our first hypothesis was that it could be exposure to light, which leads to the development of these rings.

 In order to test this, we had duplicate plates made from two mycelia cultures, and one was kept mainly in the dark, while the other was exposed to light.
