Claim 13:
14. A method for producing a mycelium mass, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a mycelium mass producing system having a culture unit, a spore stock unit, a plating unit, a section unit, a sub-plating unit, an expanding unit and a colonization unit;
obtaining a live culture sample of fungus to prepare a monokaryon culture at the culture unit;
growing a plurality of fruit bodies in sterile conditions to create a spore stock at the spore stock unit;
performing a peroxide-based spore rescue and a plating process at the plating unit;
sectioning a plurality of robust hyphae upon successful germination of the peroxide-based spore at the section unit;
sub-plating and expanding the plurality of robust hyphae onto a spawn grain master at the sub-plating unit;
subsequently expanding the spawn grain master into appropriate production of spawn volume at the expanding unit; and
performing subsequent colonization of a mycelium substrate thereby creating a substantially defect free mass of monokaryotic mycelium at the colonization unit.
