Gotcha. While never having cultured fungus (on purpose) plants definitely pose unique challenges. Such as hormone application. I also think, though I don't have extensive knowledge and fungal media composition, that the media for plants can need quite a lot more sugar which makes bacteria and fungi even more a problem.

Really cool you've already done it at home though. Did you do pressure cooker method

Oh, I haven't worked with hormones before. That would be interesting.

Did you do pressure cooker method

Yeah, my pressure cookers are basically my autoclaves. And I use a still-air box (30L transparent plastic tub with holes) for pouring plates and transfers.
