I’ve been wondering, does a liquid culture always result in the same mycelial mat, or is that still going to go through the same process?
It depends how the culture was started. If it was started from a clone, yes it will always result in the same mat, taking ascience into account. If it is from spores it will always go through the same process. The medium makes no difference.
I was more asking if a liquid culture would have already gone through that initial process and settled on a gender mix, meaning that specific culture would produce the same mat until it’s exhausted?
Yes, if it's a mycelium culture and not a spore syringe. If it's a spore syringe, no.
