Watch William Padilla-Brown as he demonstrates genetic identification of foraged/propagated mushrooms to produce desired genetics.

The viewer will learn about the tools and steps required to prepare a farmed or foraged mushroom specimen for gel electrophoresis. All of the tools used in this video are easily sourced online and some of the solutions used can even be made at home. https://www.the-odin.com/

William identifies as a citizen scientist. He has been learning and teaching microbiology skills to those interested in breeding and propagating mushrooms. He is an expert on the fungus Cordyceps Militaris and has his second book coming out shortly on the identification and propagation of Cordyceps Militaris.

I'd like to invite the viewer to consider microbiology as a tool to aid in plant/fungi/insect breeding but also to deepen your understanding of holistic and unobserved factors in your work!
