This video follows a gardener as they experiment with multiplying mycelium, a fungal network, in a high tunnel. They use a starchy water solution to feed both mycorrhizal and wine cap mushroom mycelium, hoping to increase the amount of inoculant available for their garden. The gardener also shows how they use a strainer to remove excess corn from the solution and how they plan to use the leftover corn for worm food.

This video demonstrates two methods for collecting mushroom spores: spore printing and swabbing. The first method involves using a dampened crystal to absorb moisture from the mushroom cap while it prints onto tin foil. The second method uses a sterile cotton swab to collect spores directly from the gills, which can then be streaked across an agar plate.
