Here we could success about the use of different antibiotics for mushroom cultures.
I have experimented with psilocybe cubensis and chloramphenicol on PDA and found out, that cultures did not grow very fast, and spores did not germinate at all. A piece of mushroom tissue was added to PDA with chloramphenicol, and it grew very slowly, strandy growths were very thin, only seen under magnifying glass.
At the same time a sample from the same tissue was added to PDA with H2O2 and ordinary PDA without any additives. The both samples were fully overgrown when the growth of the sample with chloramphenicol was still hard to see.
PDA=Potato Dextrose Agar
Do you have any experience using antibiotics during the first stage of mushroom growing/cloning?
